Biden tells teachers that students are ‘like your’ children, not ‘somebody else’s,’ in the classroom

‘They’re not somebody else’s children, they’re like yours when you’re in the classroom,’ said Joe Biden.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – During a Teachers of the Year event at the White House, U.S. President Joe Biden told teachers that their students effectively belong to them and not “somebody” else when they are in their classrooms.  

“And you’ve heard me say it many times, about our children, but it’s true, they’re all our children,” Biden said in his address to the teachers on Wednesday.  

“And the reason you’re the teachers of the year is because you recognize that, they’re not somebody else’s children, they’re like yours when you’re in the classroom,” added the president.  

The clip of Biden’s speech immediately went viral on social media, drawing massive criticism from prominent conservative figures and entities.  

“No, Joe, they are not ‘somebody else’s children.’ They are OUR children,” stated pro-family organization American Principles Project.  

“[W]ake up, parents,” replied school choice advocate Corey A. DeAngelis, adding a quote from political commentator Michael Malice who said that “Socialists regard your property as their property, but even more nefariously regard your children as their property.” 

The topic of parental involvement in education has been one of the primary issues in the country in recent months, gaining particular traction after Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill that prohibits children in the third grade or younger from being taught sexual or gender ideology.

Since then, other states have advanced similar legislation with the hopes of expanding the rights of parents and ensuring teachers are not able to push their own political or philosophical beliefs onto other people’s children.

I love it. Democrats have children also and even they are aware that most public school teachers are idiots. I do not think that most parents of ANY political persuasion will take kindly to this.

That's not the kind of 'loving parent' teachers are. They have another kind of 'love' for 'their' children.

In the early 80’s I backpacked through Europe visiting family that went through Nazism and were living under Communism.

I wish I had the knowledge back then to be asking them how it started so I could understand what I’m seeing now.

History repeats itself.

As long as birth parents continue to abuse their children by committing them to government indoctrination asylums, the communists are merely stating the opinion that the government, under both parties, has developed since the 1960’s...

They are, de facto, the governments children to permanently manipulate, mold, and control... Our current communist masters will never relinquish their hold on them...

Like we American used to say about our guns: “From our cold dead hands”...
Our communist masters are saying: “From our cold dead hands”...

They need to be reminded they are not their children.

Yup.

We need to stop using the word

Pedo-phile

The correct word is pedoSexual.

We don’t say heterophilia or homophile,

we have to stop these Groomers from camafloging their sexual preferances with nomenclature.

I have to say the Democrats are constantly scheming to strengthen their control over us. His speechwriters have twisted the concept of “in loco parentis” to support their control over children via leftist teachers.

By making this comment, does Biden mean that, therefore, it’s ok to molest them (as he apparently did with his daughter) or that, therefore, it’s not ok to molest them? I’m confused.

A plethora of lazy parents like it that way. “Take my children and make then into something I never could, while I make myself into what I want to be for myself.”

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

In loco parentis is the term and we were taught that in 'license to teach' school.
