Democrats believe parents don't have the right to raise their own kids

They think your kids belong to them.

In my home of Montgomery County, Md., parents just received a notice from
the public school system.

MCPS’s email declared, “Parents and students may not choose to opt-out of
engaging with any instructional materials, other than ‘Family Life and
Human Sexuality Unit of Instruction’ which is specifically permitted by
Maryland law.

As such, teachers will not send home letters to inform families when
inclusive books are read in the future.”

The school district is infusing books about gender and sexuality into the
curriculum starting in kindergarten, and parents not only can’t opt out;
they won’t even get a heads-up from the school about what their kids are
learning.

This is why the US House of Representatives just passed a Parents Bill of
Rights: to protect families in counties like mine from overreach like
what’s happening in our public schools.

The bill would require public schools to disclose all curricula, reading
lists, library books and budget costs, and force administrators and
teachers to seek parents’ consent before changing a child’s gender status.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) asserted after the bill was passed, “Parents
are the primary stakeholders in their child’s education, and House
Republicans are working to protect their right to know what is going on
inside their child’s classroom.”

Children belong to their parents; they are not wards of government
schools.

Stefanik faced opposition among House Democrats, none of whom voted in
favor of the bill.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) declared, “They want to ban a
book called ‘Melissa,’ a book describing, in very personal terms, the
experience of a trans girl beginning to understand her identity.”

“Melissa,” by Alex Gino, is one of the most challenged books in libraries
for several years running, according to the American Library Association,
and for good reason.

They hide behind phrases like “book banning” when the reality is these
books aren’t promoting “inclusion” but are instead pure indoctrination.

Here’s a sample from that book Jeffries referenced: “She had since read on
the Internet you could take girl hormones that would change your body, and
you could get a bunch of different surgeries if you wanted them and had
the money. This was called transitioning.

“You could even start before you were eighteen with pills called androgen
blockers that stopped the boy hormones already inside you from turning
your body into a man’s.”

Gino makes it sound like transitioning is as easy, painless and reversible
as popping a Tylenol.

The reality is that gender transition causes lifelong and irreversible
damage to developing bodies.

Not wanting schools to assign this kind of content to children is
“fascism” according to squad member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

She proclaimed, “When we talk about progressive values, I can say what my
progressive value is, and that is freedom over fascism.”

AOC is free to read her children whatever books she wants, but she doesn’t
have any.

She wants it so parents aren’t allowed to block their children from
reading “Melissa” in class. That isn’t freedom.

For progressives like AOC, progressive values are a religion.

Just imagine progressive backlash if red states started including biblical
values and literacy into curriculum and wouldn’t allow an opt-out or
notification.

Progressives want to proselytize their own religion, and anyone who dares
object is labeled fascist and a bigot.

Progressives want taxpayers to subsidize their indoctrination of our kids.

AOC is right that the Parents Bill of Rights is part of a fight against
fascism, but she’s playing on the wrong team.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
