Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates publicly apologized Monday for a controversial comment she made comparing Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez to a special education student.
WBEZ reported Davis Gates compared Martinez to a special education student who cannot be suspended while speaking at a meeting before hundreds of elected members Wednesday. CTU delegates at the members-only meeting told the NPR affiliate that the CTU president was discussing her frustration with contract negotiations. According to WBEZ, there are slightly different versions of his comment online.
Gates addressed the criticism he received Monday on “Chicago Tonight.”

In a statement last week, CPS said Martinez was disappointed by Gates’ comments.
