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.”
I understand that one of the provisions of this disaster is eliminating qualified immunity for law enforcement.
Qualified immunity will continue for politicians, judges, prosecutors, etc, but will be eliminated for cops.
Eliminating qualified immunity for law enforcement will cause further decline in effective policing and accelerate the decline of a once great state.
The who darned thing should be repealed.
The term “cluster fuqq” is now defined as the language contained in the SAFE-T act. Confusing double speak that just about eliminates pro active policing. Can you imagine having a trespassers at your home or business and the cops cant do anything to help? Can’t remove the person, can’t arrest or cite them. Why bother having police departments.
