In case you thought Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe misspoke when he said this week that he doesn’t want parents involved in their children’s education, he made it clear in a follow-up interview that that is exactly what he meant.

When asked on Wednesday whether he thinks parents should have a say in the public school system’s curriculum, McAuliffe said: “Listen, we have a Board of Education working with the local school boards to determine the curriculum for our schools. You don’t want parents coming in in every different school jurisdiction saying this is what should be taught here, and this is what should be taught there.”
