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.”
How can this be? Whatever the voters decide to do to their fellow citizens is holy writ. Don’t these people understand that?
Long talk at Thxgiving this year with relatives from north of the Cheddar Curtain. They too are considered their state is trending blue and power plays by the WI Supreme Court is going to destroy republican control of the legislature. Too many lefties in the Milwaukee/Madison area.
Not sure it is too many lefties there. More likely the voter rolls are stuffed with ineligible entries or fake names in Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay after the $400 million of Zuckerberg bucks were shakily dumped in there during the 2020 presidential election. The voter registration roles need to be closely reviewed if people there want to save the state, in my opinion.
No one wants to live where there is a preponderance of lunacy. And that is all the so called “leaders” of Blue states offer up. Nonsensical policies and outright assaults on Constitutional rights will drive any rational person away!
