It is typical for Democrats and activists who oppose school choice for poorer families to send their children to private schools rather than the failing public schools other students are trapped in, but that doesn’t make the hypocrisy any less galling.
The latest hypocrite in a long list of hypocrites on this issue is Stacy Davis Gates, the president of the Chicago Teachers Union. Gates has previously claimed that school choice was invented by racists and condemned people who “favor privatizing our city’s public schools.” Sure enough, Gates recently confirmed that she is now sending her eldest son to a private school.
