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.

This is more “it takes a village” communism.
Just like the Soviet Union, your children (and everyone else), and all property belong to the State.
By the way, get your jab, unruly livestock!
Terry McAuliffe “needs flushed,” as his English teacher would say.
I don think Terry McAuliffe should be telling parents their First Amendment rights don’t apply to what they can tell teachers.
How about me? I’m not a parent, but I have to pay to teach the kids. Do I get a say?
This guy gets around, one day he’s caught filming little boys in the park and gets chased out by irate Parents, the next day he is telling Parents what to do??
Here it is:
Sorry, Terry. My children, my responsibility, my morals and ethics to pass on to them.
FOAD, McAuliffe.
They didn’t get to my kids.
I didn’t wait for the school to teach my children; I started their education early, from Day 1.
Not many teachers expect a grade school child to debate them on the nature and origin of rights, but my eldest did. When he went to the Principal’s office and started to recite the Declaration of Independence from memory, they got a hint of what they were up against.
In high school, my eldest son destroyed his history teacher almost every day with historical facts. It got to the point where whenever the teacher said something, half the class would turn and look at my son to see if he was going to correct her.
By Christmas break, she had stripped all the bias out of her lessons. Mission accomplished.
My middle child made the debate team by savaging Hitlery during the 2016 election, roasting her opponent with facts the mainstream media chose to conveniently ignore or forget. It was not a Trump-friendly school, but a lot of people were shocked by what my child shared and he won the debate hands down.
My youngest is like my oldest. Having Autism can be a blessing when you want to pull out names, dates, facts, etc. He has no problem calling teachers on their bull or challenging them with data.
All 3 are excellent students. All 3 were/are universally regarded as the good kids in the class. All 3 had very ethical standards. All 3 were respectful and polite, and got on the heathens who were talking or goofing off.
I was not afraid of the teachers, principals, or district, so my children were not either.
Most people are the 67%.
I taught my children to be the 7%.
“McAuliffe’s shocking statement implies he thinks parents are too dumb to know what their children should be taught.”
Perhaps the reference is untowards blue counties.
Outstanding story.
The Lord blessed me with three amazing children. They are good natured, smart, hard working, and have a strong sense of right and wrong.
All I did was keep them alive and safe. God did the rest.
