It's not just higher education. They're coming for K-12 with their voucher system to send kids to religious schools.

@someguy3 @ilovecomputers The entire modern right can be traced back to a desire for segregated schools. This is the core mission, everything else was a way of shifting a voting block to enable it. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/05/religious-right-real-origins-107133/

This bizzare push to keep children/young adults from having the choice to leave the worldviews and religions of their parents is gaining much more mainstream political support than I would have thought. It's weird and worrying. I think need a strong push for children's rights alongside academic freedom.

They twist it as parents rights. I even saw a tshirt (school protestor) that said "We the parents".

Wild. It's just regular abuser thinking dressed up in a fancy costume.

When they say "parents rights" they mean "paterfamilias" the man of the house having absolute control of the family.
