Biden Claims School Children Don’t Belong to Parents ‘When They’re in the Classroom’

At the 2022 Teacher of the Year ceremony hosted by the White House on Wednesday, President Biden claimed that school children don’t belong to parents “when they’re in the classroom.”

“They’re all our children. 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 they’re in the classroom,” he said.

Later in the speech, Biden targeted Republicans and the parent movements in local school districts that have fought to remove from libraries and curricula books that promote radical gender and racial ideologies.

“There are too many politicians trying to score political points trying to ban books, even math books. Did you ever think when you’d be teaching you’re going to be worried about book burnings and banning books all because it doesn’t fit somebody’s political agenda?” Biden said.

The comments struck a similar tone to that of former Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, when he made his now infamous remark last year that parents should not be involved in K–12 public education. On the campaign trail, he declared at a debate: “I’m not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own decisions. I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

McAuliffe’s then-opponent Glenn Youngkin, now governor of the Virginia, countered with: “You believe school systems should tell children what to do. I believe parents should be in charge of their kids’ education.” Since Youngkin’s sweeping victory in the state, multiple Republicans have followed his model, making parental rights a major policy priority and crafting legislation along those lines.

Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, for instance, recently signed the Parental Rights in Education law, which prohibits instruction of sexual education and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, deferring to parents to decide how and when to teach their children about such sensitive topics.

The parental-choice rhetoric has angered many progressives for its efficacy at the ballot box, given that is has persuaded many moderates too. Last week, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace compared parental-rights legislation to the “war tactics” of Russians who “get their soldiers to rape children by dehumanizing them.” Similarly, American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten suggested last week that these Republican-backed measures amount to “propaganda” and “misinformation,” claiming “this is the way in which wars start.”

Most Americans and Florida residents, regardless of political affiliation, support the Parental Rights in Education law, a recent survey found.

He's right, because many parents lose interest quick when the doors to the babysitters open.

He's absolutely wrong. To those of us who raised our children and were involved every step of the way that's bullshit. Stick to the reading, writing and arithmetic. That is your job. Period.

I can see a rise in private schooling. Seems the educational agenda nowadays is more about social conditioning than actually teaching kids. That is going to marginalize the poor even more.

This is true for MANY parents.  I see it everyday out my desk window at the Elementary school I live by.  DOZENS of parents dropping off their kids anywhere from 7:00 on, and some not returning to pick them up until 5-6:00.  

I just know if this was the curriculum when my kids went to school, they'd be going somewhere else, and fast.

Sooo many helicopter parents clogging up the roads here dropping off / picking up. It's a wonder they even need busses anymore

Exactly, and anyone who thinks differently is not right in the head.

Yep. Some of the stories my son told me that he was being taught enraged me. Zero to do with actual "learning" being taught and more to do with reconditioning and brainwashing, or in other words, indoctrinated.

Funny, that money raised for your kids education doesn’t belong to them.  Property of the public schools system. 
Where it will be washed and redistributed to Protect their cash cow.

Every conservative on this forum has been warning others about this.  It is to create the great welfare state.

“Every Conservative”….are these the same Conservatives that didn’t say shit when Trump was spending like a drunken sailor?🤷🏻

BTW you just glossed over the poorly worded article that gut hooked you and a few others.

Not a single conservative on this site agreed with the Spending.  But I am so sick of the fact that you dipshits seem to forget how Pelosi would not agree to what Trump wanted for spending.  Why do you all seem to forget that?
