Teachers Union Head Gleefully Declares That Her Union Owns American Children

Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) president Stacy Davis Gates said on Monday that “all children belong to” the union.

At the City Club Chicago event, Gates bashed President Donald Trump for lessening the power of teachers’ unions, calling his education agenda a “relitigation” of the Civil War while complaining about the failing state of Chicago schools.

Quoting civil rights activist James Baldwin, Gates tells the crowd, “The children are always ours. Every single one of them, all over the globe.” Gates then mocks parents who would respond by saying “CTU thinks your children are its children.”

“Yes, we do,” Gates said. “We do.”

CTU did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.


Gates also implied that Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education (ED) and fire federal workers are an attack on the civil rights movement.

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has seen chronic failures within its district, with fewer than one in three elementary students reading at grade level and just 18% testing proficient in math, according to the district’s 2024 report. CTU’s frequent strikes have kept students out of school for days at a time.

They aren't even hiding it anymore. I am glad it is now out in the open.

It’s the Communist way. Everything belongs to the state. Even you.

This happens with socialization of school. And they want to do this with every other aspect of society. It sounds great in a utopian world but it doesn’t work. Imagine these kind of results with our healthcare system.

I just looked her up, apparently she sent her kids to private school while she admonished school choice as “racist”

The face of evil.

Meanwhile in PA, the Amish have junior high and high school girls teaching elementary school and the students test among the highest in the state.

Yup. If these people had a lick of self awareness it wouldn't be as funny.

Davis Gates' enrollment of her teenager in a private Chicago school this year was confirmed and reported by NBC Chicago on Thursday after days of questions that went unanswered by Davis Gates and the CTU. NBC Chicago is not naming the school nor the name of Davis Gates' child out of respect for the family's privacy.

As of Thursday evening, neither Davis Gates nor the CTU has responded directly to NBC Chicago for comment. Davis Gates did issue a statement, however, via an email to union members that began with "Dear Union Sibling," hours after NBC Chicago's report was published. Her full statement is below:


Here's part of it...though her statement never actually addresses WHY she didn't send her kid to a public school. But also, racism.

quote:

Regrettably, whether you are an ardent supporter of building and investing in more high-quality neighborhood public schools or believe in “school choice,” we can all agree that options for Black students, their families and entire Black communities on this city's South and West Sides are limited. That is precisely why CTU members have struck, organized, and worked hard to change our city.

While our fights and continued advocacy have secured more school resources, the inequities remain alarming. Not only are our classrooms the victims of compounded racism and redlining from decades past, but they are also struggling to recover from waves of school closings and disinvestment under previous mayors. Public and charter high schools in our Black and Brown neighborhoods are living and breathing examples of inequality. Nearly all lack the thriving extracurricular activities, sports programs, wraparound services or other ingredients that make for a high-quality neighborhood public school.


She hates school choice for one reason and one reason only...it makes the teachers accountable for their performance. Accountability is the union's kryptonite.

if the US ever elects a black female POTUS i will be moving to another country.
Everything a black woman touches turns to shite. Look at black female mayors, governors, educators, and it goes on and on.

Democrats sure do love owning other human beings. Some of them went to war over it.

Over-educated negro symptom. They love to tell the masses about how bad it is in America, as they spend close to 6 figures on private schools and live in the best neighborhoods. And a lot of them went to the most expensive universities as well.

At some point we are gonna need to start asking ourselves how much more mentally ill do these people need to get before we start demanding they be locked away in some hospital for their own good.
