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.”
We just drove to Panama City beach and back. Took back roads and interstates. The roads everywhere south of Indianapolis were immaculately perfect and smooth. Illinois roads are a disgrace. Alabama had by far the best roads and most modern infrastructure on the interstates. Wonderful vacation, Illinois roads truly suck.
That’s good, they should shut all state projects down till the cost of fuel is a reasonable price again.
Will Democrats accuse these workers of greed, like they do of companies raising costs?
Cross a union? No, I don’t think so.
Too bad Cook County inmates don’t have a quarry to hammer rocks all day and make gravel.
Bring back leg irons too. Less gravel, less gravel trucks!
Fred Flintstone showed up for work every day at the Slate Rock and Gravel Company — and high gas prices didn’t slow down his foot powered car.
Hahahaha! Well done!
Good!Seek a non union company for the product.
