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.”
“…half the babies…” born in Illinois received WIC?
And no one sees a problem with THAT?
Dependence on government is being a chronic disease in Illinois.
It’s been that way for a long time now. Nearly half of all kids in IL schools get free lunch too. Over half of all students in IL are also minorities.
We are, as a state, through our abortion and sanctuary policies, creating a permanent underclass of forever low income and poorly educated BIPOC, who will forever vote Democrat, as they wait for handouts from the rest of us.
Sometimes I wonder if the Democratic plan is to starve babies if Roe is overturned and they can’t kill them in the womb. Naaaa, that’s toooo evil, right?
So this is what leadership looks like? I agree with the other comments. I’ve been in third world countries. Families go through this very thing, waiting for the government to solve problems and they never do. They keep there citizens on the government string never knowing what the next crisis will be. Our family has twins coming soon
Import the third world, become the third world.
Governor Toilets is diverting baby formula to illegal alien anchor babies. What else do you expect from an amoral piece of shit fraud, who wants Illinois residents to kill their own babies in the womb.
Pritzker never has a solution to any issue. He just makes every issue a race issue. How about you worry about every baby JB? Lately it is one crisis after another with Dementia Joe and his cabinet, which he selected based on attributes other than their qualifications to do the job.
None of the Democrat failures on supply chain, inflation, energy, the border, crime, etc. are by accident. Democrats are INTENTIONALLY remaking America into a Marxist failure like Venezuela.
So if you’re a baby from a lower middle class family, scraping by without government assistance, too bad, you can go hungry. What kind of solution is this? Maybe Americans should go through the southern border and get some formula. Why aren’t we putting ALL AMERICAN babies first.
