Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) president Stacy Davis Gates said on Monday that “all children belong to” the union.
At the City Club Chicago event, Gates bashed President Donald Trump for lessening the power of teachers’ unions, calling his education agenda a “relitigation” of the Civil War while complaining about the failing state of Chicago schools.
Quoting civil rights activist James Baldwin, Gates tells the crowd, “The children are always ours. Every single one of them, all over the globe.” Gates then mocks parents who would respond by saying “CTU thinks your children are its children.”
“Yes, we do,” Gates said. “We do.”
CTU did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
