No decision has been made or appears imminent. But among the possibilities are moving to a new stadium in the city or suburbs, or even relocating to Nashville, a subject of recurring gossip on and off for years. 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.”

maybe CTU can put in an offer?
Note to Sox: Look for real-estate around the proposed Arlington Heights Bears Stadium and get in on the ground floor.
Think Detroit where Comerica Park is right next to Ford Field. Both stadiums are relatively new (compared to their previous stadiums).
When Crain’s, ‘access journalism’ at its finest, is dropping feelers about the Sox leaving…Well, they’re as good as gone. Nashville would be a great home for the White Sox. They need a baseball team. Tennessee would roll out the red carpet for them too.
