The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) has a bad habit of asking for more money and resources in exchange for lower educational outcomes for the students in the district. Recently, Stacey Davis Gates (CTU President) and her gang of political operatives requested an additional $50 BILLION for the budget. She insists that you cannot ask where the money is going to come from. All the while ignoring that fact that 1. Illinois cannot afford this, and 2. every time CTU gets more money, grades some how get worse.
TJ Brown and John Beans break down the current state of education in Chicago, the policies impacting that, and how it relates to the culture as a whole. We mix in a good deal of Illinois politics, and general banter regarding societal/cultural issues.
