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.”
Leave to Rich Miller to defend a race baiting clown like SDG — those 2 shit-stains deserve each other
Rich Miller, Illinois Democrat’s PR spokesman. I wonder what is the dollar value of his monthly retainer with Pritzker. What is the going rate for spewing continuous lies and fables?
Maybe her son is sick of being accused of “acting White”?
To Rich Miller, it was just a messaging error by Stacy: He says, “If Davis Gates had simply defended her family’s decision by saying something like her son really had his heart set on going to that school, then I don’t think anyone could really disagree with her choice.”
That’s a good take, Rich does see this merely as a messaging error. And by ‘message’ he means ‘make up some lie to make the situation seem more palatable.”
The fact that he’s even addressing this controversy, which I’m sure he likely called a ‘nothing burger’ or a ‘fake right-wing controversy’ at first, clearly shows that he’s taking his marching orders from elsewhere, and if the Democrat party has it’s razor sharp fangs out for the CTU prez, he’s obliged to comply.
If miller is the unofficial voice of the ‘gaurentees for me at the expense of thee’ public sec class, I’m kinda surprised he was as critical as he was.
