In at least a dozen states, Republican lawmakers have introduced bills seeking to make instruction in public schools more transparent. Pennsylvania’s bill, for example, would require public schools to post their curricula online. Democrats have largely opposed these bills, viewing them as the latest conservative salvo against critical race theory–inspired pedagogy. In vetoing the Pennsylvania legislation, Democratic governor Tom Wolf warned that the “legislation is a thinly veiled attempt to restrict truthful instruction and censor content reflecting various cultures, identities, and experiences.”
Taken literally, Wolf’s statement is false. Requiring schools to be transparent about what they’re teaching does not inherently restrict instruction or censor content. But Wolf, like many progressives, is obviously concerned that if citizens knew what is being taught in schools, then they might demand a change in curriculum.
As debates over school curricula have raged for the past year, progressives have openly expressed anti-democratic views about how the education system should operate. Nikole Hannah-Jones, progenitor of the New York Times’s 1619 Project, made her view clear during an NBC appearance. “I don’t really understand this idea that parents should decide what’s being taught,” she said. “I’m not a professional educator. I don’t have a degree in social studies or science. We send our children to school because we want them to be taught by people who have expertise in the subject area.” Meantime, Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe arguably cost himself a second term in the governor’s mansion by admitting that he didn’t “think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

50 million abortions need replacements for the actuarials to hold.
The ACLU is a greater threat to the Republic than Xiden’s “democrats” are.
That’s the tip of the iceberg, and spread over half a century. The number of American adults opting out of parenting is frightening; I understand it, and it is their choice, but these are the consequences.
My town years ago put in soccer fields for the “replacement Americans” and a dog park for the Americans; as our “Main Street” businesses disappear they are replaced with taquerias for the replacement Americans and pet food stores (”bakeries”) for the Americans. This change is rapid and won’t alter course.
ACLU - AMERICAN COMMUNIST LEGAL UNION
This illustrates my pet peeve:
There's nothing"democratic" about democrats!
Even the writer of this article uses "democratic" (democratic governor) wrongly.
We subliminally undercut our own arguments against these evil totalitarians when we use democratic instead of democrat.

The late great William Buckley’s moniker for them was even better: the Anti-Christian Lunacy Union.
Cameras in every classroom would solve all this nonsense.
Just blurr the images enough so faces are indistinguishable.
That movie should be mandatory viewing, especially in high school and college, to rid the kids of any starry-eyed romanticism about socialism/communism.
(It wouldn’t hurt to have a few eyewitnesses to these horrors testify as well.)

Years ago I met a man whose entire family, over a dozen members when they set out, walked across Cambodia to the Thai border to escape the Khmer Rouge.
Only 3 of them made it and the gentleman I knew lost a piece of his leg to a mine that was laid at the border.

The ACLU sucks... some commie thugs kept the name - that’s about it.
