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.”
Court-case is entirely appropriate. Chicago is violating its own zoning laws by placing multi-family congregate housing on commercial parcels not zoned for such land-use. City is not exempt from its planning and zoning regulations. Only religious worship facilities get special permission to violate land-use categories. Get a zoning attorney..
Nothing makes my little heart sing more than watching people have to face the consequences of their bleeding-heart voting practices.
Mayor BJ borrowing a tactic from Governor Blowhard. If you don’t agree with the law, just do what you want and wait for the liberal court to rule in your favor.
