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.”
What Wisconsin just did may have broader implications around the country.

WI Republicans aren’t just sit back idly and do nothing when four progressive supreme court justices demand new maps and threaten to adopt maps on their own.
Like the article says, Republicans have a majority in the house and a supermajority in the Senate. That means….IMPEACHMENT!!! It takes a supermajority to remove a Supreme Court Justice and WI republicans have the power to do that. And they will, they’ve been threatening it for a while.
This is how you place hard ball in politics.
LOL I’m a day late and a dollar short, apparently on 12/22 the impeachment threat came off the table because the Dem. Gov gets to appoint a new D judge that stays in office until 2031.
Article title should be;
Smart Taxpayers Running for da Borders!!
If there is a reapportionment you can count on epic gerrymandering. The blue states states losing seats will simply realign to expel any Republican house members. It will happen in Illinois for sure…..again.
2030 reapportionment? There will only be a reapportionment favorable to Red states if someone other than a Demonrat occupies the White House.
Last I checked, the reapportionment is determined by a federal agency. As we’ve seen, there isn’t one federal agency that isn’t corrupt to the core.
Just like it only matters who oversees the vote counts, it only matters who is overseeing the census determining reapportionment.
It’s the Chicago way gone national and was completely predictable when bathhouse Barry was selected POTUS.
