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.”
Homeless encampments are not suitable use for public right-of-way viaducts. Obvious big safety hazard for motorists, pedestrians, and squatters themselves. Obvious legal liability issue for City of Chicago too. Blame Mayor’s Office and Streets and Sanitation Department for benignly tolerating such illegal trespass and unauthorized use of public property by squatters.
Wait for attorney to sue city on behalf of squatters, for failing to ensure their safety within public right-of-way.
Viaduct? Watch the Marx Bros explain it.

this is another homeless encampment fire on NW side from a month ago that WGN briefly covered:

All encampments under a viaduct should have fire extinguishers mounted on the walls.
