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.”
Little dick Durbin has been a POS for a very long time.
By 1980, anyone going by the name of ‘Dick’ at least considered changing their nickname to something less phallic. Nossir. Not Dick Turdbin. Of course, back then, this Dick was a conservative anti-abortion small time political slimeball. Upon graduating to the big leagues of the grifters, he suddenly found a love of insane leftist ideals and baby killing. It has kept the money rolling in. Dick Turdbin has long been the voice of leftist idiocy in America. Illinois has been far too corrupt for any meaningful opposition to Dick’s advocacy for the destruction of the USA. Dick just stopped the… Read more »
If I were on that committee, I would make a point of saying Senator DICK Durbin in every sentence I spoke, as in, “This committee is being held hostage by DICK Durbin, that’s right, Senator DICK Durbin of Illinois, the senior senator sitting right there, DICK Durbin. What do you have to say for yourself, DICK Durbin?”
Would be even funnier if Marsha Blackburn did it.
The stay in office because it grants them, and their cronies, more leverage against looming indictments.
Democrats seem enamored with authoritarianism and censorship. Just look at Biden, and now his minion Durbin.
When the republicans are in control, my prayer is they do not play nice in the sand box. They have to continue to bring light, from the darkness. Illinois republicans are silent and non- existent.
As Mitch McConnell warned years ago, when the Democrats overturned the filibuster for judicial appointments:
“And I hope that you understand that you can’t have it both ways. It can’t be a rare procedure and be a procedure that dominates the actual business of the Senate as this has done for so many years.”
Durbin has condemned the Judiciary Committee to one-party rule. The Senate and the Republic are poorly served.
Durbin’s expiration date passed a few decades ago. No redeeming qualities whatsoever, and always trying to grab another dollar out of the taxpayer’s pocket. Typical leftist elite, he tries to silence those he doesn’t agree with, and that’s nothing new for old Dick. Just go away already, and take your lobbyist wife with you.
When Durbin was a local official, he was considered to be a conservative, anti abortion, low taxes, etc. But to become a national Democrat, he had to become the left wing liberal. His overall record is that of hypocrisy.
Why be a democrat if you cannot also be a hypocrite?
He’s 79 years old and his term doesn’t end until 2027. He’ll be 82 running for re-election. This stunt today is all about re-election. I thought maybe he was going to retire at 82 in 2027 but apparently not. He’s playing the game, showing any potential usurpers that HE can fight the good fight against the fascists enemies: Republicans. Brandon may have to wait a little longer his Dick’s senate seat.
Hey, hey, ho, ho Dick & Joe have got to go…
He’s still mad because the post office lost his bottle of Enzyte. LOL?
Based on Durbin denying Senator Blackburn’s motion to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein’s passenger manifests on the Lolita Express, it sure sounds like Durbin was a Lolita Express passenger himself or is protecting people who were involved in this criminality. Pedophilia for me but not for thee.
What a horrible display of arrogance and power. And we wonder why this state is one of, in not the worst represented state in the union.
Shameful so shameful, it seems like somebody put him up to this he looked liked he seen a ghost.
Infuriating conduct by Durbin. Watch the full tape:https://twitter.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1730251713326542875
