Pritzker gets his school cell phone ban bill despite CTU opposition – Illinois Policy

While acknowledging that “phones can be distracting,” the Chicago Teachers Union opposes the measure because phones can be “lifelines for students” who fear immigration enforcement.

I’m sure the teachers want a cell phone collection fee added to the payroll…

13% of graduating students in Chicago read at grade level, 87% do not. Absenteeism is at 45% daily among Black youth. Lacking math, reading and social skills sort of eliminates finding employment. Thus the CTU creates a new wave of future welfare recipients annually! And Stacy Davis Gates sends her kids to a private, parochial school. Not a strong endorsement of the CTU!

CTU just cannot stay in their lane…they are there to teach english, reading, writing, math. They are not there to write immigration policy or impact law enforcement. Go ICE!
