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.”
Chicago jeers?
Not according to Neil Steinberg/Sun Times columnist.
Those two woke fools Durbin and Duckworth are part of the problem.
Coincidentally, Duckworth will now start to live very close to the BA HQ.
Tammy & Dick.
Political hacks.
Please pay property taxes Duckie.
I guess Boeing isn’t all that into equity and abortion. Weird.
Durbin’s embarrassment is well worth it.
Do nothing Durbin and Dimwit Duckworth can’t figure out why Boeing would leave. It’s funny, because everyone else in the state knows why. Get ready for more you two losers. Your social justice warrior agenda and insatiable appetite to tax businesses and residents will drive many more out of this state.
Poor old Tammy and Dick crying for the headlines. Who want’s to bet their sour grapes are more about losing the standard campaign contributions rather than the state losing the jobs?
Well you haven’t been too successful have you Tammie? In every study Illinois ranks 2nd or 3rd worst in business climate. Downtown crime out of control. Highest or second highest property taxes in the US for Boeing employees. Public schools for employees’ children a national joke. Second highest sales taxes in the US downtown for Boeing shoppers and workers. Geez1! I wonder why they would move.
BA employees do not have to worry about marxism, CRT, and genderism being pushed on their school kids in Va. Taxes are lower also. Premptive also – IL Leftist Democrats will push for higher Corp taxes after Pritzker re-election.
