Star Parker said that things are moving “very fast” in the nation’s capital, and it looks like President Donald Trump and Congress are coming together to advance educational choice for all students.
“As Congress moves through its budget reconciliation process, and President Trump seeks to close the federal Department of Education, they should remain focused on ensuring educational freedom for all students,” she said on Straight Arrow News.
The government school system is controlled by bureaucrats and teachers unions. If you’re a skeptic who doesn’t believe much, trust me: believe that statement.
Why do teachers unions promote policies that are not in the best interests of children?
“The American Federation of Teachers, AFT, as they’re known, and the National Education Association — NEA we all know them as — they’re closely aligned with the hard left in American politics,” Star said.
The AFT in 2016 adopted a “Stand with a Planned Parenthood” resolution in support of the nation’s largest abortion provider. The NEA advocated for DEI, critical race theory, and other forms of indoctrination for kids in K-12.
And who can forget when teachers unions wanted to stay closed during the COVID-19 pandemic?
“This subordinated the needs of children who suffered emotionally, socially, academically,” Star said, “because they were absent from that in-person school during that period, and it really disproportionately impacted poor children in our country.”
Teachers unions say they care about poor children. So why do they oppose school choice? We need competition in education. Competition produces excellence.
Congress must take all of this into account and actually help poor children. Star has more to say about educational freedom. Watch below or at Straight Arrow News.
