Ted joined Dan and Amy to discuss the scandal surrounding the entire CPS school board announcing their resignation, why the CTU’s power trip is only possible because Illinois lawmakers gave them so much power, why Illinois has a failed opposition, the poor state of Illinois’ job market, the trial of Mike Madigan, and more.

- Chicago school board resignation is giant distraction from the fact that kids at CPS can’t read
- Chicago Public Schools is in dire financial straits, yet Chicago Teachers Union blocks closing of near-empty, failing schools.
- Does Chicago Public Schools CEO Martinez deserve praise for taking on Mayor Johnson?
- Chicago’s 2025 budget fiascos. First up, Chicago Public Schools.
Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.
Underlying all of CTU/Barnadons tired B&B community dis-investment $equity hustle$ is the machine financed Martire/CTBA , legislatively approved, EBF. Brando keeps repeating “we can all agree CPS is underfunded, cant we” as majority WHITE CTU members are happy to ride the B&B community dis-investment $equity hustle$ EBFgravy train to being highest paid teachers of any big city in nation!!!! The news media never questions validity of EBF. Once again, how are 9% pay raises, keeping empty schools open, massive CPS dysfunction, etc justified in EBF?
(just look at photo in article for all the CTU WHITE members)
Which idiots elected the legislators? Idiots electing idiots. What could go wrong? Dixon?
I think average people are now realizing the CTU and the Leftists Democrats that support it are a cancer, and they need to/ should be treated like a cancer.
Are there any average people left in Illinois. I doubt there are any in Chicago. In any event, there are not enough left to make any difference. The vast majority are just leeches. The rest are people waiting to die as their only escape from that hellhole.
“Nobody is harming black children as much as Johnson and CTU leadership right now. They are cynically expanding the CTU’s monopoly and political power and not improving the education needed to improve black children’s lives.” Paul Vallas
The CTU is far from God.
CTU is the al Qaeda of Chicago. They are not teachers but are brainless terrorist scum hell bent on stealing every last cent from everyone else in Chicago. Period. Destroy this Union now. The sooner the last CTU member loses their job, their ability to “teach” and are in poverty in the gutter the sooner Chicago can recover. There is no destiny too agonizing or fatal for this group.
