Stacy Davis Gates, Vice President of the Chicago Teacher Union, is a bit of a rabble rouser. Lately, she and her union have been in the news, as they have been threatening to strike in October. As you’ll hear, Stacy thinks of herself, and other teachers, as social justice warriors, rather than merely instructors. Teachers, as Stacy describes them, are instruments of uplift for disadvantaged children, and play a major role in improving our society.
