Chicago teachers union boss picks better school for her son, but not yours
Fox News
Stacy Davis Gates, president of Chicago Teachers Union and staunch opponent of school choice, now sends her son to a private Catholic school.
Corey DeAngelis is a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children.
Admins of a private Facebook group of Chicago Teachers Union members shortly thereafter mentioned that they had become aware of the news three weeks prior and that they "dislike the hypocrisy of CTU when they have gone after people who made the same choice."
It should go without saying, but Mrs. Gates is a fierce opponent of school choice, at least when it comes to other people’s children. Just last year, she posted that "school choice was actually the choice of racists" and that school choice has "racist origins." Her union she represents has consistently taken a hardline stance against private school choice programs.
