I care a lot about public education. I’m an educator and know how crucial a robust public education is for a democracy. Whenever someone says “parents’ rights” in relation to education I want to know what exactly they have in mind because I think those are actually code words for banning books from school libraries, preventing the teaching of sex education or history that makes them uncomfortable, and diverting funds from public to private schools and homeschoolers. These attacks are escalating.
