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.”
Redirect to Oak Park and Evanston. In Evanston the lucky black ones will get reparation money. Double virtue signaling bonus!!!
It is time to start treating people that cross the border for what they are TOURISTS , issue them a tourist visa at the border, then deport them if they over their visit, give them a 120 day visa.
$500MM of state funds appropriated, spent so far by us for the care, feeding, and pursuit of happiness of people who care not what happens to us or this country as a result of their pursuits.
More funds will be required from us come 2024.
The benefits to citizens?
The benefits to citizens is they get to house, feed and educate the children of the immigrants. The immigration issue was an election thig and the people of Illinois spoke. I just wish my downstate Democrat voting city was graced with some of the busses as I would love to see the expressions on my neighbors faces when busses were unloaded here. I just don’t know how to volunteer my city : (
Brandon claims his leadership has calmed the crisis. Even the rotund Governor would take issue with that misinformation. Newsflash Brando, you aren’t a sanctuary city if you redirect or impound the buses. There’s no arguing this point. Sanctuary means you take them in, end of story.
