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.”

No wonder the White Sox are leaving
Hmm, I remember as kid bringing my Little League in the hopes of catching a foul ball. Now you can catch lead!
That’s a mighty fine marksman who can shoot from outside Sox park and hit two patrons inside.
CWB claims there was a shot spotter one mile south that captured multiple shots moments before the people in the stadium were hit.
The didn’t even bother to stop the game and investigate.
… because there aren’t enough reasons not to go to a Sox game
