Wisconsin Democrat says parents who want 'a say' in children's education should homeschool or pay for private (the inner hate slips out)

Democratic State Rep. Lee Snodgrass of Wisconsin was forced to apologize Thursday after writing on social media that parents who want to have control over their children's education need to home school them on their own dime.

"If parents want to 'have a say' in their child's education, they should home school or pay for private school tuition out of their family budget," the legislator tweeted on Thursday.

Snodgrass is the second vice chair of the state's Democratic Party.

Within hours, Snodgrass was beset by an avalanche of criticism. The tweet was quickly deleted and is no longer available.

The state representative published a follow-up statement.

"I deleted my Tweet since it was lacking in nuance and easily misinterpreted. I wouldn't want anyone to think that parents do not have a role in their child's public education-I sure did. I encourage all parents to engage in voting for school board, join PTO and meet with teachers."

Parents who decide not to send their kids to failing public schools should get a refund of their taxes used to support those schools or a voucher to use in the school of their choice.

Wisconsin Democrat says parents who want their children educated rather than programmed with communism and perverted sex should homeschool or pay for private.

Fixed.

“Fine, but then why do parents have to pay taxes to fund public systems they have no say in?”

Because they’ll rob you at gunpoint if you don’t.

"Snodgrass"


Isn't that a character in one of JRR Tolkien's books? If not, he should be.. maybe one of the evil wizards (except he is too stupid).

Those parents should be allowed to withhold ANY and ALL taxes that are for schools or education!

That is in same category as “Trust buy verify”. To work the latter has to be demonstrated, even to the folks who are dumb enough to vote for Democrats.

Hey, morons. The DNC is not the party of Roosevelt. As bad as THAT was, it is light years from the commie trash now in charge. Shut up Granny.

Or we can just fire all the teachers and replace them, since WE own the whole school system.

And all the politicos and bureaucrats who want to brainwash our kids should pay for their own indoctrination camps out of their pockets and refund all the tax money of those who want a say in their kids education.

I could live with that.

“Democratic State Rep. Lee Snodgrass of Wisconsin was forced to apologize Thursday after writing on social media that parents who want to have control over their children’s education need to home school them on their own dime.”

Why apologize for TELLING THE TRUTH? Even private schools are now controlled by the Left - at least the ones that want to be accredited (as the Left now controls that process).’

The only question left is when will the Left move-in on Home Schools and finish off their takeover of ‘education’?

“I deleted my Tweet since it was lacking in nuance and easily misinterpreted.”


The apology: “I’ll take some blame for my tweet not being nuanced enough, but it’s really you peasants’ fault for misinterpreting ‘homeschool or pay for private school if you want a say in what your kids learn’.”

He is right. His intent may be screwy but he is right. Charter schools can be another option but check them out first. Depending on public schools is a no go. Temporary limited can be won but the trend will always be toward removing academic content and substituting fad and propaganda.

Absolutely true but dropping taxes needs to be part of the deal
