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.”
Great piece by Walsh. The only thing missing is, unlike NYC, Chicago has NO “right to shelter” provision included in its sanctuary city ordinance. There’s NO ordinance (rules) on who qualifies for “shelter”, for how long, etc
Again, of the 100,000 immigrants bused to NYC when I heard the figures only 13,000 were sent there by Abbot. The other 87,000 were shipped there by the Biden administration.
