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.”
the best of Illinois leaves. Those who remain fund the BS.
Solutions offered ………”changes to the state’s public education system to better meet the needs of an ever-changing workforce”. Apparently our educators are more focused on equity and telling little Joey he can be a girl. Too bad they don’t teach kids the skills that will help them get a good paying manufacturing job. Maybe once the teachers union figures out how they can profit from it they’ll institute some change.
