U.S. Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona took a swipe Thursday at Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds’ parental rights law.
Cardona took a trip to Iowa to visit the Perry Community School District and the Des Moines Area Community College to learn about the college's teacher apprenticeship and pipeline program.
Before discussing the state of rural education in the Hawkeye State, Cardona had an interview with the Des Moines Register to talk about Reynolds' parental rights law.
"What I'm seeing here in Iowa, what I'm seeing in other places, is an overreach of state government," the Education Secretary told the Des Moines Register.
Cardona's comments came shortly after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Iowa sued Reynolds over the parental rights bill she passed earlier this year.
In May, Reynolds signed the law to prevent teachers from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with students from kindergarten through grade six, and removed all books depicting sex acts from school libraries, with religious texts exempt.
The law also requires school administrators to notify parents if students ask to change their pronouns or names.
In response, the ACLU and Lambda Legal are pushing back with a lawsuit, arguing that the law imposes "ongoing irreparable harm to LGBTQ+ students."
Cardona explained further to the Des Moines Register that he believes parents should be involved in education. However, although the two agree on parental involvement, he believes that Reynolds' efforts go too far.
"I agree with Gov. Reynolds that parents need to be a bigger part of how we educate our students," Cardona said.
"One of the things I said a couple years ago is as we recover from the pandemic, let's not go back to what it was before the pandemic," he said. "We need to improve education...

Another socialist totalitarian icon who commits treason on a daily basis.
Cordona needs to be frog marched to the nearest state detention center and over reached into a felony treason charge, after being introduced to an Iowan reincarnation of Samuel Adams.
Far more a over reach of the Federal government.
His job is new when it comes to the federal government.
His job should just be done away with.
18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
“Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
Constitution Article IV
Section 4.
The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Ahem, sound like We the People control education
Oh, the irony!
he said. “We need to improve education...
The only way for that to happen is to get FedGov completely out of the education business.
Past time to eliminate the Dept of Education, which should NEVER have been established in the first place. (Thanks, Jimmuh, you pig).
Libloather, I totally agree. It was Jimmy Carter’s great idea: You’d think it was enshrined in the Bill of Rights. I received a good education run by locals in California prior to the DOE!!! Who’da thunk?
Dissolve the Department of Education and flush it down the toilet.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
State’s rights diminish with each passing democrat administration. Seems to me there was a war fought over states rights once upon a time that the propagandists dismissed as being over slavery.
NOt to mention we desperately need to get Unions out of education policy making. That exclusively belongs to taxpayers and parents at the local levels.
Cardona is a traitor to the United States, so what he says is not surprising.
Bidens Secy of Education Cardona rips parental rights law as ‘overreach of state government.’
Cardona agreed w/ the ACLU blasting the law concerned parents wanted to protect their children:
<><>prevented teachers from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with K-6 students
<><>removed all books depicting sex acts from school libraries, with religious texts exempt
<><>required schools to notify parents if students ask to change their pronouns or names.
The federal government should have nothing to do with education period.
Agreed!
Buchanan was last president to follow the constitutional limits of executive powers.
This is why context is important. Grade 6 LGBTQ+ students have rights to their own sexaul beliefs and practices and identies.
Disestablish D Ed now. Defund it now.
“the law to prevent teachers from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with students from kindergarten through grade six”
This is the law the ACLU is trying to get tossed. The ACLU has been an aggressive, nation killing cancer for decades and they have never been stronger
Well,we can petition Donald Truimp to put the ACLU on the terrorist list along with CAIR. Take the funding right out from under them.
Its time to render these totaolitarians non operational , just like Obama did with the Tea Party using the IRS. We can paly that game too for the sake of COnstitutional COnservatism.
Ots time to stop believeuing we can defeat these buggers while retaining our “purity.”
” Education Secretary Cardona rips Iowa’s parental rights law as ‘overreach of state government’”
Education Secretary Cardona rips Iowa’s parental rights law as a threat to our totalitarian government
There, fixed it
