Children belong to government-school teachers and teacher unions, argued a leading teachers union boss in explosive comments this week. Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) President Stacy Davis Gates also mocked those who expressed concerns about the ominous ideology that government is responsible for children, rather than God and their parents.
Speaking to a crowd during a speech at the City Club of Chicago, Gates referred to writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin. “Baldwin says the children are always ours. Every single one of them, all over the globe,” Davis Gates said. “And what comes next is ‘CTU thinks your children are its children.’ Yes, we do. We do. We do.”
Longtime campaigner for children and teachers Rebecca Friedrichs, who won a historic victory against teachers’ unions at the U.S. Supreme Court, expressed shock at the comments. “Once again, a teacher union leader is totally out of touch with boots on the ground teachers and parents,” she told The Newman Report, responding to the scandal.
“Good teachers do not believe the children belong to the union, or the state, or even the community. Good teachers understand that children belong to their parents,” she continued. “And my belief, as a former longtime public-school teacher, is that children are gifts from God. They belong to God, and God entrusts them to their parents.”
“We have committed as an entire union to using our contract to create more sustainable community schools like Richards Academy,” Davis Gates said at a press conference, calling it the “type of school community that is necessary to nurture, to educate, to reimagine, to ameliorate injustice and disparity.” How dumbing down and sexualizing students will ameliorate injustice was not immediately clear.
Earlier this year, meanwhile, Gates’ union described federal law enforcement as a “real threat” that government schools in Chicago were “staring down.” Demanding special “training protocols” to help members resist federal law enforcement, the union said anyone in authority who was not “doing everything in their power” to resist the Trump administration’s “horror film”
Thankfully, Davis Gates is totally wrong on the issue: unions and governments do NOT own children, they never will, and that is a very good thing. Unfortunately, this dangerous mindset — the same ideas held by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and so many others — is widespread among those who lead the government “education” system. Parents must take back their power and lay down the law, now.
