Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
Wow, did someone drop these two on their heads repeatedly? Governor Carnival Barker probably must have thought he died and went to Krispy Kreme heaven when he read this load of manure. These two should be forced to hold their breath until any piece of this article comes true.

Sometimes articles are so moronic, that the electrons are better spent attacking the authors rather than the arguments. Author #1 Theo has a PhD in philosophy from the disgraced slave trader school, Yale, so he immediately has zero credibility. At this point, the University of Phoenix has more credibility than most Ivies and especially Yale. LOL Yale the slave trader school! Author #2 Josh, sorry Josh, NEIU (northeastern illinois) is a complete joke, no one takes graduates or professors from that school seriously. So you’re saying you couldn’t find a job anywhere else? Thousands of colleges in the US and… Read more »
I have it on good authority that the ocean’s rise was reversed 15 years ago. The Enlightened Being from Hyde Park said that 2008 “was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”. So no mass migration, and it’s safe to buy ocean front property in Martha’s Vineyard and Hawaii.
For moronism as severe as in this column, only the strongest words are appropriate, so we we will suspend our usual limitations on foul language on this one.
You’re not inspiring moving rhetorical oratory by that offer.
whats really pathetic is these writers are the best Crains can come up with in an attempt to hop on board the DEI/ equity craze
One thing I notice reading a lot of news is the whole ST/ WBEZ/ WTTW/ Blockclub news nonprofit conglomerate publishes a lot of stories from leftie sites like Illinois Answers Project, South Side Weekly, the Tribe, etc rather than come up with their own stories. I assume this is because $monies$ extremely tight and it’s cheaper to pick up freelance/leftie sight writers than have your own writers guild union writers pursue stories? It’s equity on the cheep. Is Crains now doing the same thing, this article’s a good example? And of course publishing any conservative WP or IPI stories is… Read more »
It shows that they put progressive advocacy above all else, even their own business interests. That is, they basically thumb their noses at the half of their addressable market that is right of center.
