Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

You all have to remember the short fat kid in high school that always got picked last in P.E. The little dork that always got harassed by the rest of the students. Then one day he finds himself in a position of authority and it’s time to get revenge on all the bullies who made fun of him. And now he’s governor.
I fully agree with that opinion. Now, with the benefit of daddy’s money, he bought his way with the help of Madigan to a seat of power. Now he is going to “show us all payback for his childhood ills.”
I seriously wonder what his father would think of his descendants today’
Mrs Pritzger please stop downvoting, you know JB was the dork.
Since the court ruled that we have our freedom, they’re dragging their heels. This won’t bode well for Jabba and every other legislator, cardinal, school administrator, etc when they are sued for civil rights violations. Time to step off the soap box.
Nice picture. Looks like he’s about to throw a tantrum and start bawling.
Heh… if he stomps his feet and holds his breath he might just blow up – NOT a pretty picture lol…!!!
What I find amazing is that children in surrounding states are attending school without masks and without incident.
Adults are shopping, going to the movies, attending sporting events – all without masks and without incident.
Why are residents of Illinois, and particularly Cook County, so fragile?
Dumbed down in the Chicago school system perhaps?
The level of education provided by CPS is notorious – and shameful, unless they are fortunate enough to attend a magnet or charter school. The children will some day be the adults casting ballots and determining the course of society. Providing them with little to no skills is evil. There’s a special place in hell for the architects of this educational disaster.
Only the kids are being used now. Many adults around us have shed their masks everywhere. The kids will now be used by Pritzker as the last pawns to keep the fear mongering going. Govt creates fear, so they can create the illusion of no safety, so they can come along and say only they have the solution to the unsafeness, so they can control. Kids are easy to exploit, unlike free thinking adults who can see right through this mask nonsense. My wife and I stopped masking last April. No problems. Frankly the kids need to stand up now.
