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 rich are getting out of Illinois. There, I fixed the headline.
Useless stat…making money in Illinois is not the problem. Keeping your money in Illinois is the problem.
Just more proof that Illinois is headed towards Third World status. What’s the Third World profile? A few really rich people, virtually no middle class, and a bunch of poor people.
Plenty of money still being made in Illinois despite everyone leaving.
Kind of shocking that 1.7% of taxpayers earn more than $500k a year. That’s nearly 1 in every 50 tax payer. I bet it makes you feel poor that $500k a year is so attainable, yet, so far away…
Wonder just how many are politicians
Wonder how many were Citadel employees that are now located in Florida?
