Teachers, Democrats fight against parental rights

Rather than engage parents concerns, teachers unions and Democrats like Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe would have parents simply follow orders. 

I don t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach, McAuliffe said at a recent debate. The casual contempt he is signaling here is having political consequences: In an Oct. 25 Cygnal poll of support for Republicans vs. Democrats in Virginia, K-12 parents chose Republicans by a margin of 17 percentage points. 

Whatever the outcome of the governor s race in Virginia, parents should continue to make their voices heard, because in doing so they are reminding public officials and public employees of a fact that far too many of them seem to have forgotten: They answer to the public.

You would think so. But the teachers’ unions really do disagree.
