Terry McAuliffe wants the state to control your child’s education

Published September 29, 2021 4:09pm ET



Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe admitted during a Tuesday debate that he wants the government to have complete and total control over a child’s education, parental rights be damned.

“I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach,” McAuliffe said in response to Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin, who argued parents should be more involved in the decisions of local school districts. “I’m not going to let parents come into schools, and actually take books out, and make their own decision.”
