Chicago Teachers Union President Claims Republicans Don't Want Black Children to Read
2024-06-19
[HOT AIR] Stacy Davis Gates, president of the Chicago Teachers Union, seems nice. She verified what a lot of teacher union critics say.

In a radio interview on Sunday, Gates told the host that conservatives don't want black children to learn to read because it is "part of the oath they take to be right wing."

Well now. I must have missed that memo because I don't know anything about an oath. WTH? What oath did she take to be a progressive nut job? Two can play that game.

The interview was with WBBM News radio and the station's political editor, Craig Dellimore, spoke with her on a segment for "At Issue" that delved into the union's contract demands.

Some demands are social justice issues. Shocker, I know.

Dellimore asked Gates about union contract proposals that conservatives call too big. Concerns are raised because many elements in the contract are not directly concerned with education.

#8  The really hilarious part is that blacks, America's preferred minority, are being replaced by immigrants as a minority and as a voting bloc.

#7  In Chicago Public Schools, where 9 in 10 are students of color, 52 percent of teachers are white. Chicago’s teaching ranks — which are 19 percent Latino and 21 percent black — are the most diverse among the state’s 10 biggest school districts,

#5  Teachers unions are just another Marxist front group. It's about power and "The Struggle"(tm) not the outcome. They refuse to be held accountable for that outcome. To a certain point, they won't be able succeed if education is not supported at home. However, remember the canard that one community is not responsible for their contribution to that, someone else has to be to blame. The long social tradition of the Asians and Jews show that if education is held in high esteem in the families then it is fostered within the individuals.

BUT HOLD ON

Remember, Chicago and the State of Illinois has had over 100 years of DEMOCRAT control and has had darn little (R) influence?

But, How come only Black Students and not Hispanic, and other minorities are having reading issues? Given other minorities are not screaming, isn't she being racist by saying only Black Students can't learn to read?

Did the Democrats and their DC Regime, forget to ask for, or budget more $$$$$ for only Black Student education and is that even possible? While they were running up another $3.2+ Trillion in deficit spending? While they were dolling out $$$ Billions to Ukraine?

SUMMARY:
I guess, there will always be the need to transfer blame for failure. In this case a Teachers Union (N.E.A.) is too busy demanding more $$$$$ and playing Politics, instead of doing their real job ... Educate.

BTW: Question. Why did she wait until the election year to cry Racism, when she had 3 other years to do it?
