2. Parents have always had that right, they just don't care, they think it's the teachers job

A lot of them don’t even care to read to their children or teach them to read or their numbers. Ask any teacher they will tell you, what they want is parents to be more involved. The parents attitude was always, that’s what we pay the teachers for. Now the Republicans have gone all butt hurt about it, they think it’s fun to participate in

14. Except when "involved parents" want the school system to teach religious and ideological purity

at the expense of actual facts and logic. And then insist on banning books they don't like from the school library.

7. Like the frame from the GOP.

I know what my kids are learning, what they want is the right to keep my kids from learning things that make the GOP uncomfortable. You know stuff like racism is bad, slaves were not “happy down on the farm.” Now they’ll whine about being compared to NAZI’s again.

It must suck getting compared to Nazi’s when you go out and do NAZI stuff.

21. TFG's rallies should be called what they are.

Nazi rallies. That's how I refer to them. To every MAGA I work with, if the orange asshole comes to my state, I ask them if they are going to the Nazi rally.

13. "involved parents" sometimes equal moronic parents.

Just because one can breed doesn't mean one has any clue how and what children should be taught.
