It’s not about education, never has been, it’s about unions getting the stash. They don’t give fig about the kids.

So... As Moochell 0bama spends tens, if not hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to travel to exotic locations world to tell foreigners to educate their kids better, her own hometown, the place that her ‘husband’ ‘organized’ has to lay off 1,400 people because they can’t do simple arithmetic.

“Mayor Emanuel said one issue is that CPS does not receive as much money from the state as other districts do when it comes to pension subsidies.”

That’s because your pensions are ridiculous and unsustainable. Even Madigan and Cullerton realize that.

Here in NJ our tenured teachers with seniority are laughing all the way to the bank, but a lot of young prospective parasites have been unable to get on the gravy train (and have no marketable private sector skills).

I believe they are only able to do that until they are tenured (employment for life); then they are ineligible for unemployment (and sometimes are paid over twelve months for their 180 days of work).

“It will have an extremely harmful effect on students who are disproportionately poor, students of color that are in Chicago Public Schools”

Well! Ain’t that something? Students of color but not white, yellow, or brown kids. AMAZING!

Welfare, free food, free rents, free everything and they are poor students of color and that’s the only reason they are in the condition they find themselves in???????

How about morals, work ethic, adherence to the laws of society and where the hell is daddy.

The word “cesspool” clearly describes Chicago and its out of control labor unions. They crapped in their pants and now they have to wear them.
