CTU president defends sending her son to private school, calling it a result of “unfair choices” for South Side families – WBEZ

“It was a very difficult decision for us because there is not a lot to offer Black youth who are entering high school” in Chicago, Davis Gates said. “In many of our schools on the South Side and the West Side, the course offerings are very marginal and limited. Then the other thing, and it was a very strong priority, was his ability to participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities, which quite frankly, don’t exist in many of the schools, high schools in particular.”

The thing I’ve learned about leftists, is that they just don’t care. They have no shame. and they really just don’t care what you think.

My child is going to a school protected by several armed guards. Shut up send your child to a gang infested school where I demanded no police or armed guards be allowed. Shut up and leave me alone.

She has the money to do so. Why do the south side residents have no good choices?
Thank you, CPS, and the CTU.

These people are really professional comedian quality jokesters. You don’t want your own kid to attend that crummy public school that the CTU (which is you) basically runs. They just don’t care how ridiculous and phony they look because there are no negative consequences to their intellectually bankrupt and disastrous policies. So how about all those kids that don’t have the money to go to the Catholic school? To heck with them– they will just have to suffer at the CTU cesspool.

Does anybody still buy into that somehow CPS is “disinvested” in the black community @ $30gs a student?? If anything, it CTUs majority white membership making astronomical salaries & benefits that don’t live in b&b communities that are the “disinvesters”.

I wonder what this Catholic school was doing while the CTU was on strike to prevent CPS students from returning to their classrooms?

How does choosing a catholic school for your kid fit in with a radical sudo-socialist?

They tried to frame it as a right-wing attack. I was really surprised that over at the left-wing crap fax a lot of commenters said it looked really bad and that she should resign.
