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.

CTU and CPS are a criminal combine. I wonder if Porky knows which EO is in force today? Ya think people are confused? Which side should we part our hair?
Are teacher walkouts and trucker convoys harbingers of more confrontations on the horizon? Will this spore in the wind lead to doctors, nurses, grocery clerks and police officers and prison guards walking off the job? Dare we hope that legislators will do the same?
Get your kids out of these prisons.
And yes. I homeschooled while poor. It can be done.
Are you familiar with Khan Academy? For those who home school it is a good option.
So violation of kids civil rights is built into contracts with automatic pay raises and cadillac health insurance. Interesting.

To many bills for a chumbalone schmuck to figure out . Sure the lawyers will $cleanup$ figuring it… Read more »

Without Executive Oder 3 any kids can be admitted to schools without covid test, masks, etc. and includes all provisions in EO 2021-24 & 25. Not sure about EO 2020-15, tons of provisions were granted in that one.
