Chicago Teachers Union boss who denounced school choice as racist has son in Catholic school.
The president of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is facing backlash after it was recently
revealed that she had enrolled her eldest child in a private school.
Stacy Davis Gates – who was elected president of CTU in 2022 and also serves as executive vice president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers – placed her teenage son in a Catholic high school located in Chicago's South Side, according to a report by NBC Chicago.
Through a variety of social media posts, Davis Gates has made her position on the issue known.
"*School choice* was actually the choice of racists. It was created to avoid integrating schools with Black children," Davis Gates wrote in an August 2022 post to X, formerly known as Twitter. "Now it’s the civil rights struggle of our generation?"
