"Now, CTU is targeting Chicago’s selective enrollment schools — the city’s highest-performing public schools. The union claims these schools are 'tools of inequality,' even though they spend less per student than the district average and serve populations that are over 70 percent Black and Latino, more than half of whom come from low-income families. The union’s real goal is clear: Eliminate visible contrasts between successful selective schools and struggling neighborhood schools.
"Instead of fixing underperforming schools, where principals and Local School Councils have little ability to make staffing or academic changes, CTU seeks to drag high-performing models down to their level. The irony is striking: Over 30 percent of CTU members send their own children to private schools, and an equal share enroll their children in public magnet or charter schools."

"The failures of the Chicago Public Schools live in infamy: Abysmally low test scores, delivering an almost negative return on investment for the exorbitant price of $40,000 per pupil, with more to come amidst even more demands from the state of Illinois for funding. And that’s going to be paid by whom? You, the taxpayer. No matter where you live, even if you don’t live in Chicago, you’re going to pay. As long as you stay within Illinois, they’re going to suck you dry. . . .
"The unions are fighting the use of artificial intelligence, which could automate a lot of the educational system. Elon Musk has promised us a world in which artificially intelligent robots will basically liberate us from the need to work and provide us with heaven on earth. Is that going to happen? I don’t know. But it sure seems to me that teaching kids to use AI and learn with AI is what’s going to prepare them for the brave new world, not trying to ban it — and honestly, not trying to ban cell phones. These kids are going to be living on cell phones. Try to get a job. Try to do a job. You’re going to need one."
