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.
Weekly crime statistics from the Chicago Police Department: Report through 5/4/2024.
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.”
The mental health whatever’s are refusing to respond without police escorts. So to avoid looking militant in our response we’ll call it partnering or co-respondents! They’ll be going in with those poles with a noose on the end! Badger poles!
Cops can’t wear all the hats and this program has promise … until the first mental health worker is injured or killed.
With the absolute distain that Chicagoans demonstrate for first responders, it probably won’t be long.
Do the professionals bring their sofas with them? The distraught need a place to relax and err their grievances. Maybe a Festivus Pole? Much easier to transport.
