Stacy Davis Gates, president of Chicago Teachers Union and staunch opponent of school choice, now sends her son to a private Catholic school.
that best meets their needs? Why does she pay out of pocket to send her own son to a non-unionized private school if her union does such a fantastic job at ensuring a good education for kids in Chicago Public Schools?Mrs. Gates shouldn’t fight against school choice for less advantaged families who are currently stuck in Chicago’s failing government schools. The latest Illinois state assessments reveal only 17% of Chicago Public School students are proficient in math .
Mrs. Gates issued a statement attempting to defend her hypocrisy. In it, she admits that"If you are a Black family living in a Black community, high-quality neighborhood schools have been the dream, not the reality." She goes on to say that the government schools are so bad that it ultimately"forced" her to choose a private school.
In her letter, Mrs. Gates quadruples down on her hypocrisy by saying that her and her union won’t stop fighting against school choice for others."We will continue to oppose siphoning public school resources off to private institutions through voucher programs," she said.
She concludes her statement by mentioning she and her union"will fight against destructive and racist school closings that have left a trail of devastation in Black and Brown communities." Her hypocrisy knows no bounds. This is coming from the same union that, in December 2020, deleted a tweet saying"the push to reopen schools is rooted in sexism, racism and misogyny."
