BTW, Ms. Gates, there are actually non-POC students in Chicago’s schools. Imagine that!

“If our mayors, including this one, can’t keep Black families from leaving by supporting and funding Black communities and educating Black children, then they have failed Black people,”

This makes no sense … President Stacey Davis Gates is the head of the Chicago Teachers Union that represents the teachers who are failing to education black children, so who is she blaming?

As far as “supporting and funding” communities, does she realize how much money has been spent to support black communities with minimal impact? Perhaps more money isn’t the answer.
