Parents Gain Ground in Local School Boards [semi-satire]

In his post-election victory speech Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) was pleased to see that many parents seeking seats on local school boards were winning their races. "We are putting parents back in charge of their kids' education," he gleefully observed.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) disagreed, saying that "letting parents have a say in their children's education is just stupid. Parents are totally unqualified to determine what their children need to learn. It's like letting patients have a say on whether or not to have surgery. That should be left up to the experts. Most of the parents running for school boards want to drag the schools backwards to an era where the three 'Rs' dominated in the classroom. Most of the experts agree that there are more important lessons that need to be learned."

"We've seen what many of the so-called experts want to teach these youngsters," Scott responded. "Critical Race Theory encourages racism, Drag Queen Story Time celebrates perversion, and sex-change propaganda puts some vulnerable students on the path to gruesome mutilations and a high rate of suicide in pursuit of the impossible notion that one can change one's sex. These ideas are what's stupid. Parents are the wise ones. They know that their kids need to learn how to read and understand numbers so they can succeed in life."

President Biden suggested that "converting to a digital currency will make it easier to ensure that our resources are being spent on our greatest needs. Take the proposal to build high-speed rail between Scranton--my boyhood home--and New York. Passenger revenues won't be enough to fund it. Getting a tax increase through Congress will be tough. But if we could directly seize money from the enemies of democracy we'd kill two birds with one stone."

Okay, John. I had to check, which makes it's successful satire.

Thanks for another illuminating column.
