Twitter users criticized an NBC op-ed which argued that parents wanting a say in their children’s education is equivalent to parents interfering with a surgical operation simply because the patient is their child.
“Teaching, too, is a science. Unless they’re licensed and certified, parents aren’t qualified to make decisions about curricula,” Christina Wyman argued in the NBC article.
Wyman went on to argue that parental involvement in curriculum decisions hinders teachers’ ability to “teach students to think.”
A teacher herself, Wyman noted that she has a doctoral degree in curriculum, and 36 states require teachers to have a master’s degree to teach. Parents who aren’t “qualified to teach” should “keep their noses out of school curricula,” she wrote.
“No. It’s like expecting your surgeon to perform the surgery you actually need rather than their favorite surgery that nobody asked for and that would actually harm your body,” Adele Scalia tweeted.
“They really think they own your kids,” Corey DeAngelis, national research director of School Choice Now, posted.
“They hate you and they think you’re stupid,” Charles Fain Lehman, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute commented.
“I’d workshop this analogy a little bit,” wrote Alex Griswold.
“’Parents think they can control their kids’ education. It’s sort of like a medical patient thinking he has rights.’ … ‘Yes, that is a good analogy, actually.’” Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, posted.
School districts nationwide have witnessed struggles between school leadership and parents over the teaching of racially divisive content and the availability of sexually explicit content in school libraries, and the FBI’s counterterrorism division is reportedly flagging parents as “threats” in relation to school board incidents.




Comment - this quote perhaps epitomizes teh DPST party attitude toward citizens of America :Parents think they can control their kids’ education. It’s sort of like a medical patient thinking he has rights.’ … ‘Yes, that is a good analogy, actually.’” Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, posted.
the party just 'knows' that parents/citizens have no Rights at all - even when it comes to their medical care and children's education.

This is teh tyranny of teh nanny state of teh radical DPST Communist party.

parents aren’t qualified to make decisions about curricula,
At this rate, Republicans won't need to hire any PR consultants to make campaign slogans and ads for them. The Democrats will write all of them for them!


Think school choice will be an issue in 2022?

Parents do have a say in their kids education. It is called school board elections. These fucking woke parents running down to the school board screaming a bunch of politics need to stfu.

Let the school administration and teachers do their job. If the parents don't like it they can move or run for a seat on the school board but enough of these woke post oeb. Bunch of God damn posts about right wing cry babying.
