CNN Primetime host Abby Phillip interviewed President Stacy Davis Gates to address the widespread criticism she's received for sending her son to a private school for its sports program.
Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates speaks ahead of a car caravan where teachers and supporters gathered to demand a safe and equitable return to in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in Chicago on December 12, 2020.after it was recently revealed that she had enrolled her eldest child in a private school.
Additionally, in a Chicago Magazine article last year, Davis Gates said,"I can’t advocate on behalf of public education without it taking root in my own household." "'Segregation Academies' …Call them private schools supported by taxpayer funds-vouchers-so your norther cousins understand better. #RaunersLegacy," Davis Gates said in a November 2018 post.
Phillip, however, pushed back further, telling Davis Gates that she already understands the history. She read a letter penned by Davis Gates explaining the nuances of sending her son to a private school."You wrote that to explain why you chose to take your child out of public school for a sports program at a private school," she said.
