Teachers' hypochrisy

Posted September 16, 2023 1:00 am

We are told that school choice is racist. The Invest in Kids tax credit program that is expiring is fascist and racist according to teachers unions and CTU President Stacy Davis Gates yet she has school choice sending her kids to private schools.

Facts are that 40% of the Chicago teachers send their kids to private school. Nationally 11% of the parents send kids to private school while it is 20% of teachers sending their kids to private school.

With at least 50 schools and possibly more in Chicago not having any kids read, write or complete math at grade level no wonder CTU is sending their kids to private schools. Evidently, they can't educate taxpayers' kids so they want someone else to educate theirs using their over bloated tax payer-paid salary to pay tuition.
