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.

“The IEA president also cites fundamental disrespect of educators as a reason people aren’t flocking to the profession…..”
Gosh, I wonder how that happened?
But! But! This virus is real. Fauci told all of us if we don’t all get the vaccine most of us will die. Kids don’t get fooled. Do you really want to kill grandma and grandpa and your third cousin twice removed? Get tested as many times as possible. You should get tested in every class every hour. Someone makes a lot of money if you do this. Thank You for complying!
”Someone makes a lot of money if you do this.” Eggggsactly. Which is why CPS is still requiring all unvaxxed staff to test weekly or be suspended until compliant (but not unvaxxed students… hmmmm). Never mind that every single one of my vaxxed colleagues got Covid during the spring semester. They’re missing out on a gold mine!
Virtually everyone I know who was fully vaxxed or as least one booster had or now has Covid. To me it seems like the boosters are the culprit. No proof but it seems likely. Those who only got the first two jabs did not get Covid as much but down the road there may be many other health problems.
