Tom, they've already answered this one loud and clear:
Quote:
“Where will the money come from? Rich people,” CTU Vice President Stacy Davis Gates said Tuesday, as she repeated the union’s call for Illinois to tax its wealthiest residents at higher rates and pointed to revenue-generating ideas that need support from Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
“We have a governor who has committed to legalizing recreational marijuana and putting a tax on it, we can take that as well,” Davis Gates said. “They are also talking about sports betting. We can take that. They’re talking about opening a new casino here in the city of Chicago. We can take that.”

Remember, these people are educating our children. I don't believe for one second that this attitude of "MINE MINE MINE GIMME TAKE GIMME GIMME" does not seep through into the classroom. As I mentioned, I am moving to a SFH in Old Irving in the Belden School district and was thinking "gee, with such a good school district maybe we will consider CPS".
Absolutely not after this. I don't want to have to explain why full grown adults are having a tantrum to my kids when they are kicked out of school for 2+ weeks every 3-5 years. I don't believe for a second that the teachers don't come back to the classroom after this and foist their festering political garbage on the children they are teaching. How many teachers are going to start their classes with "the mayor is evil, but we showed her" after this? At least in a Catholic school if my kids come home and tell me their teacher was indoctrinating them with some political nonsense I can complain to the adminstration and the teacher can be disciplined. Good luck with that when dealing with the allmighty CTU and their tenured fat cats...
