He has tried to walk it back because he wants to win the Virginia race for governor, but when Terry McAuliffe barked, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach,” he spoke not just for the ultraleft teachers’ unions that the Democratic Party is beholden to, but for the entire liberal ruling class. The Washington Post, a prominent establishment mouthpiece, confirms it with this staggeringly arrogant headline: The one good thing to come out of Covid is that remote learning has made parents aware of the evil lies with which their children are indoctrinated in public schools. Prominent among them is our current state religion, critical race theory — i.e., antiwhite race hate. Also prominent is depraved gender theory, which has resulted in sexually deranged boys in skirts being allowed into the girls’ bathroom to rape 9th graders. Parents who object have been branded as terrorists; Biden’s “Justice” Department sicced the KGB I mean FBI on them. However, WaPo wants to gaslight you into believing that it is the parents who are radical, not the leftist indoctrinators. From the article: [W]hat’s actually radical here is the assertion of parental powers that have never previously existed. This is followed by the preposterous argument that schools are teaching students to think for themselves, rather than follow the dangerous beliefs of their parents. To aver that the rigidly left-wing climate in public schools encourages students to think for themselves is an outrageous lie even by Washington Post standards. Any view that deviates from lunatic leftism is crushed as racist, homophobic, transphobic, Eurocentrist, et cetera, ad nauseam. Children who resist indoctrination are shamed. WaPo wants Democrat-controlled Big Government to decide what children think — even if their parents wisely get them out of public schools: Parents can opt out of the public system if they wish, and pay to send their children to private or religious schools. But even there, parental rights remain subject to state regulation and override. Parents produce the kids, feed them, and raise them. But just as the government ultimately owns your money and only lets you keep a portion at its discretion, it owns your children. It will ensure they think what they are told and grow up to vote obediently for Democrats. This has been the liberal viewpoint since long before MSNBC propagandist Melissa Harris-Perry lisped that “kids belong to whole communities.” The Founding Fathers of progressivism agreed on the importance of the government indoctrinating children: On a tip from MrRightWingDave.
