Terry McAuliffe: "I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach"
HotAir ^ | Sep. 29, 2021

Posted on 09/29/2021 3:37:29 PM PDT by Trump20162020

From last night’s gubernatorial debate against Republican Glenn Youngkin, an … interesting soundbite from the guy on whom the fate of the Democratic agenda in Washington may rest. I don’t know how Democratic parents will react to it but it’s a gift to Youngkin in revving up GOP turnout. Few issues have been as urgent to conservatives over the past 18 months as parental control of their children’s education, from keeping schools open amid COVID to opposing mask mandates to resisting attempts to indoctrinate them with lessons on Critical Race Theory.

Now here’s McAuliffe telling them to pipe down and stay out of schools’ way. “’Elect me and you will have no say in your child’s education’ is a helluva campaign pitch,” tweeted Abigail Marone, Josh Hawley’s press secretary, about the clip.

If he had said that parents shouldn’t have absolute power over what schools teach (e.g., creationism in lieu of evolution), that would be one thing. For those who want total control over their kid’s education, homeschooling is an option. But he went much further than that. And he did so in the context of a sensitive subject, the degree to which sexually explicit material should be available to kids.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

“How about what they shouldn’t teach?”

YES! This Parent does a great job of just that. Horrible Administration in Fairfax County School System. Unbelievable arrogance by the School Board and Staff.

At last night’s @FCPSNews school board meeting, brave mom Stacy Langton revealed porn + pedophilia in library books. The board cut her mic + fled but I was able to record Stacy. Parents yelled, “Shame!” at the board for turning the county into #Fairfaxxx. No rest for @defendinged

Parents are ultimately responsible for teaching their children well.

With all the ruckus over CRT, you would think he would know to hold his tongue.

“THEY want to be the ones to teach your kids communism..to indoctrinate them...”

Parents outnumber commie schoolboard members 1,000 to one. So, how do commies indoctrinate kids?

Hmmm. The parents pay for the schools and the children are theirs.

The wife of a friend was also friends with a teacher and invited to her to the house. My friend expressed his opinion that parents should have more day in what goes on in schools. He meant that he thought parents had a lot to offer. The teacher said, “Why? So the kids turn out like you?”. My friend was a decent, intelligent , hardworking man who took care of his family. For this woman to sneeringly dismiss him, right in his own house, shows how insufferably arrogant a lot of teachers are.

The board seems pretty impressed with themselves. That’s quite an intimidating perch they have up there.

Yes. They feel safe in VA, the #ComDems who work in DC have empowered their arrogance. Like under Obozo, they feel totally safe as dictators.

So, the question still stands: How is it that parents allow the brainwashing of their children? Parents outnumber commie schoolboard members 1,000 to one.

So he would have sided with the Hitler Youth over the parents?
