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.”
It’s either bribe to keep your mouth shut, or not laugh! Porky is very smooth!
Of course this is just plain wrong. Pritzker feels free to attack anyone who disagrees with him, and yet he does these incredibly questionable things. These are state employees, not employees of Pritzker Incorporated. Andy’s first job will be working on the plumbing in one of the many Pritzker mansions.
This is blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. this issue came up as soon as he was ‘elected’. It creates a situation where his employees are loyal and work for him instead of working for the interest of the state. This is exactly what Caesar did when he said that his troops should be loyal to him and not Rome. And look what happened. It’s a shame that no one calls him out for this. The fat billionaire is like Louis the XIV he believes he is the state of Illinois and all that happens in the state revolves around him.
Gee, where have I heard this same leadership concept on a much larger scale lately?
Biden?
