The Chicago Teachers Union was slammed for demanding an additional $50 billion for 'progressive activism' as students struggle to achieve basic proficiency levels in reading and math.
The Chicago Teachers Union was slammed for its 'radical' demands after it was revealed it is seeking an extra $50 billion in contract negotiations to pay for salary increases, migrant resources, fully-funded abortions and LGBTQ-related materials in the classroom. Illinois Policy Institute Director Mailee Smith reacted to the requests during 'Fox & Friends,' accusing the CTU of acting on behalf of its members' interests instead of students.
This is just par for the course for them. They are not pushing things that are best for students,' Smith said on Monday. 'They are pushing things that are best for their leaders' political agenda. Other things that we see are climate justice demands, social justice demands, $2,000 per student for asylum seekers, they want housing for new teachers.' 'None of this is typical for collective bargaining,' she continued.
Additionally, it wants the board to adopt policies that would prohibit any member from being compelled to tell parents when a student rejects his or her sex, according to the documents. 'They do not want teacher evaluations and performance at all linked to teacher pay or benefits, what's going on in the schools,' Smith said.
