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.”
Oh boy, Pritzker is excited! Meanwhile there is a collective yawn from the population at large. EV demand is falling like a rock.
“This is like nirvana for somebody like me”. In case we didn’t already understand that the green movement is a religion to its adherents.
Based upon the funding and giveaways it seems like it is the government, ie taxpayers, that are “going” to build the plants in Illinois.
The EV industry must be doomed if they are coming to Illinois.
“Multiple EV companies have announced deals with Illinois this year,” this article says. Yeah, like who?
Don’t let lies get in the way of a good story.
Maybe true if you also count companies building the EV chargers. Only 1 that I found so far.

This news as of yesterday about reopening the Belvidere Stellantis plant maybe with some type of EV cars but not sure yet. So some good news.
