Blue Mayor Johnson of Chicago a near clone of disgraced and
defeated Lori Lightfoot (aka Lightweight)
True to his roots as a Teachers’ union organizer has vowed
to transform public education and can no longer wait
Not sure what his transformation plans are but clearly he
intends to not listen to any debate
Demeans any who criticizes his transformation plans are like
those opposing the liberation of slaves in the Confederacy states
Facing a $10 billion deficit while large majorities have
math and reading scores that are below grade
Yet the average teacher’s salary now stands at $93,182 from
2012 a 46% increase while increases in math and reading scores only fade
And the teachers’ union that put Johnson in office wants a
contract to increase average salaries to almost $195,000 per year in 2028
With no linkage of scores improvement to pay only set increases to teachers
demands for more money to sate
While the teachers unions fight tooth and nail to halt the
spread of charter schools and school choice
Parents quickly find that when it comes to voicing their
opinions they have no one listening to their voices
Pouring more money into Chicago schools thinking it will education enhance
Is like pouring gasoline on a fire thinking you can put it
out with a fervent rain dance
Johnson is right in linking job success and lowering crime to
improved education
Which Chicago will never achieve unless salaries and job
security are linked to test scores improvement not DEI and inflation
