Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) president Stacy Davis Gates recently said that “all children belong to” the union.
Seriously. For real.
According to the Daily Caller, Gates trashed President Trump for diminishing the power of teachers’ unions during a recent City Club Chicago event, going so far as to characterize Trump’s education agenda as a “re-litigation” of the Civil War. All while complaining about the failing state of Chicago schools.
Gates told the crowd, “The children are always ours. Every single one of them, all over the globe.” Gates then mocked parents who might disagree by saying “CTU thinks your children are its children.” She added, “Yes, we do. We do.”
No, they aren’t. They aren’t, Gates.
That view is the opposite of reality. Parents are in charge of their kids. And they pay you clowns to teach them well and respect them. Nothing less. You no more own other peoples’ kids than you own other peoples’ homes, cars, or spouses.
And what the hell is “re-litigating the Civil War” supposed to mean? Might I remind Gates that the Republican Party was founded in large part to oppose slavery, and northern states (the Union) fought to banish it. By contrast, Democrats of the 1800s thought they owned their slaves, just like Gates and her ilk think they own your kids today.
The failing state of Chicago schools is not hard to fathom. “Liberal” policies virtually guarantee that outcome. (See also: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Minneapolis, etc.) Too many of today’s teachers just want to have sex with kids.

The teachers unions AND the teachers are a cancer. We need public school massive reform and soon.
When is the Union going to start paying child support?
Not easy.
I’m a single dad and I live in a run down RV in the middle of Arkansas.
I home school. It’s one or the other.
Didn’t SCOTUS address this last week in that MD case? I think the majority opinion said that the parents have control over the kids’ education. (I may be wrong.)
Good on ya. Even here in Northern Commiefornia (aka The State of Jefferson) you can send your kids to a private Christian school for about $2,500 a year. Whereas the state charges about $15,000 a year per student and they come dumber than a box of rocks. A tax break would save taxpayers about $12,500 a year per student.
Who died and left Stacy Davis Gates in charge of Washington D.C. ?
Hey stacy
EaT poop and die
Gates told the crowd, “The children are always ours. Every single one of them, all over the globe.”
That’s an open declaration of war which makes me rethink my opposition to burning at the stake.
Communism 101
The opposition needs to revisit Pierce v. Society of Sisters in which the statement is made that refutes this leftist arrogance: “the children are not the mere property of the state.”
Stick that in their faces.
