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.”
Maybe the stickers should be the same size as the governor so people can’t miss it.
The “I DID THIS” stickers of Joe Biden pointing at the price are the cheapest and most effective political ads available. Most people buy gas and most people see Joe Biden’s awful face every time they fill up.
At one time many stations posted the amount of taxes per gallon…perhaps that could be reinstituted unless there is some sort of law against it.
The edict mandates language that must be used but doesn’t spell it out. Any business that wishes to comply should take the opportunity to amend the sticker with educating info about actual tax numbers and a bit of history.
