**Indoctrination Alert: Teachers’ Union Claims to 'Own' Your Children**
Recent statements from the Chicago Teachers Union have stirred up outrage among parents and conservatives alike, as teachers’ union president Stacy Davis Gates boldly claimed that teachers “own” the children in their classrooms.
This line echoes the deep-seated concern many parents feel about the growing intrusion of leftist ideologies in education.
Under the guise of progressive teaching, unions like the Chicago Teachers Union have attempted to position themselves as co-parents, presuming to have authority over how children are raised and educated.
This behavior is not just an isolated incident in Chicago; it reflects a nationwide trend of teacher unions prioritizing their political agendas over the educational needs of students.
Davis Gates' history reveals a pattern of radicalism, having been “radicalized” after her own school was closed as part of a controversial reform initiative.
From leading strikes during a pandemic to opposing returning to in-person learning, Gates and her union have exhibited a troubling disregard for the welfare of students.
The Learning loss suffered by children during COVID is a stark reminder of how unions have failed in their primary mission: to educate.
Parents are understandably alarmed at the thought of educators believing they have ownership of their children.
This mentality is not only disconcerting but also highlights a fundamental failure of the education system to serve students and families effectively.
Instead of focusing on teaching fundamental skills like math and literacy, unions are prioritizing ideological battles, leaving many students adrift in the academic waters.
Conservatives have long advocated for parental rights in education, emphasizing that parents—not unions—should dictate their children’s upbringing and educational content.
Time for parents to take a stand and reclaim the narrative: schools must be places of learning, not platforms for political indoctrination.
The starting point for real change is to reject the notion that educators have any claim or authority over children beyond their role as teachers.
As discussions about our children’s education intensify, it’s essential for conservative values to prevail, affirming that parents are the primary stakeholders in their children’s lives—not the teachers' unions.
