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.”
I know what I will do with my property tax rebate. Buy a couple gallons of gas (In Wisconsin)

Yes, please remember that come November…
Remove your toilets, get a break
I’ve often wondered just how mendacious and silly a statement Pritzker would have to make such that an overwhelming number of Illinois’ citizenry would (finally) rise up and call B.S. on the Governor.
“Today I’d like to announce that my administration has calculated the square root of Pi, determined the true size of the galaxy, cured cancer, and found Jimmy Hoffa’s body.”
Mmmm, nope. I don’t think that would even do it.
Too many of us prefer being lied to.
A LOT of people pretend, particularly those on the taxpayer nipple.
Yep, exactly correct. Sadly, too many taxpayers pretend they’re OK with it.
They are too lazy to even realize they are being lied to…
Indoctrinated to believe anything the leftist state tells them…
Pritzker’s so called tax breaks are like band-aids on a massive head wound. Essentially worthless and so small they do absolutely nothing to address the real need. He knows this but he is desperate for something, anything really, to try and distract the voters from the truth. Democrat progressive policies have been an unmitigated disaster.
Remove the toilets from your home and reap huge tax breaks. Ain’t that right JB?
