Ms. Gates’s son deserves a quality education, but so do his neighbors. With any luck this controversy will improve the odds of renewing the Invest in Kids program. But the real moral and political scandal remains the same: that thousands of Chicago’s children are locked into failing public schools as part of a political job-protection program for the teachers union.
You know you’re a fraud when the school you call racist and fascist is the school where you pay for your kid to get in

My parents sent me to a Catholic grammar school and a Catholic high school. The teachers were paid less than the public school teachers but I believe my teachers were more dedicated, strict, and caring. (I am not Catholic but a nondenominational Christian.)
For those parents who have the ability and schedule, homeschooling can also be an option.

If she was smart she would send her son to a private school OUT OF STATE. The first thing any student should be taught is how to get out of Illinois and better their lives.
Stacy needs to send her kids to Chinatown because she thinks skin color will improve educational their outcomes.

Nothing new under the sun here. Public school teachers and administrators send their kids to private schools at a rate significantly higher than the public.
What I found remarkable about her reasons for sending her child to private school was that it was very compelling. Like most parents, she cares about her son and revealed – likely unwittingly – the downsides of sending a young black male into a non-selective Chicago public high school. And I hope the kid succeeds, including at soccer. Her comments make the case for school choice in a really persuasive way. Of course, it matters not to her that she has castigated others as racist for advocating for school choice. Her choice and comments go beyond hypocrisy, though. Brandon Johnson… Read more »

From Lewis to Sharkey to Gates the fake sudo-socialist/progressive shtick, where you claim to be “it’s all about the kids” while extracting highest $$compensated$$ big city teachers in nation bucks from taxpayers worked like a charm, the $bucks & bennies$ just keep coming and coming!!! If your any other public sec union you got to be jealous as heck. With president CTU/Stacy now exposed as just another phony, where’s mine hypocrite, the BIG question if your a rank & file CTU is…. will this make any difference when Stacy sits down w their own CTU/Brandon next year for even more… Read more »
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

What do they know that us lesser mortals dont?
So do many elected officials who take money from the teachers unions.
Please don’t criticize her, 40% of CTU members also send their kids to private schools.
