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.

The people marching are complete idiots, The alphabet crowd is killed in Palestine, There is no diversity allowed.
Yes, but that doesn’t matter. Leftists will always side with non-whites.
