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.”
Until the mayor of Dallas switched to the GOP a few weeks ago, the largest city with a Republican mayor was Ft. Worth, TX, at # 13. The next largest is Oklahoma City, OK at #21.
You wanted this now deal with it you immature Richie rich.
Why not send s some to Evanston? In addition to the usual freebies they can pick up on some reparations at the same time.
Straight from the mouth of a Dem pol. Advertise Sanctuary status then try to convert a local issue to a national issue instead of resinding a failed local policy.
Guv Pigchop does not understand that he’s in a hole and needs to stop da digging.
Dumb as a box of rocks!!
Just the other day Pritzker said “Illinois is a welcoming state” referring to the migrant situation. JB, you and every one that voted for you asked for this. What’s the big deal? I personally think all the Chicago ado is rather humorous considering it is what the Chicagoans wanted and voted for. Enjoy Chicago you got what you wanted.
Isn’t it true that blue city Denver is sending busses to Chicago? That seems to get little notice. Can’t Brandon and JB talk to the Denver mayor?
P U G S L E Y should tell Senile Biden to stop sending illegals to Texas
“They’re here legally, they have refuge in the United States, for the moment. My family were refugees to this country too. We ought to welcome them, put them through a process. And if they don’t meet the requirements, they should be sent back.”
LOL, they’d rather sell roses on at busy intersection in Palatine than go back to their third world country. They’re never going back, they’re here forever, and they and their children will be an underclass for a century.
What a whining, groveling, sniveling, boot licking Virtue Signaler. Pritzker had better be careful because such behavior may tarnish his Pritzker For President 2024 campaign.
