A couple of weeks ago, Terry McAuliffe said that parents shouldn’t have the final say in their children’s education. His remarks echo the current stance of the Democratic Party at large.

As President Biden’s approval rating sinks to new lows, it isn’t surprising that Americans are pushing back against his radical policies. Biden and his allies have promoted a socialist agenda, which remains extremely unpopular with the electorate. And a new FreedomWorks poll out of Pennsylvania finds that even in this “blue” state, voters are fed up with the far left.

As we look back at the 2021 legislative sessions, there’s a lot to unpack. Whether it was laws pertaining to critical race theory or election integrity, there has certainly been a lot of focus on what’s going on in state legislatures. While school choice has been a topic of discussion for decades, it seems that COVID lockdowns have breathed new life into it as support for school choice continues to rise.

The Progressive Left figured out long ago that if they can control the education of children, then they can build a national acceptance of a socialistic, big government country. The key to this acceptance, they found, is controlling the curricula used in public schools.

I taught history in Poland soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union. My students were eager to learn objective truth--something which the Soviet regime abhorred. When I look at the fight over Critical Race Theory (CRT), it reminds me of the party-approved curricula that my students’ parents remembered from the days behind the Iron Curtain. Like the Soviet Ministry of Education’s dogma, CRT is blatantly ideological. It’s no wonder CRT’s proponents are intent on muddying the waters with bad faith arguments.
