She also said Whitmer has been \u201ccontrolled\u201d by teachers unions \u201cher entire time in office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/michigan-democratic-party-trashes-parental-rights-in-education-then-deletes-post-and-backtracks\">reported<\/a>, the Michigan Democratic Party published a snarky note to its Facebook page saying, \u201cNot sure where this \u2018parents-should-control-what-is-taught-in-schools-because-they-are-our-kids\u2019 is originating, but parents do have the option to send their kids to a hand-selected private school at their own expense if this is what they desire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The post then lectured parents who assert their right to have a say in their child\u2019s education, saying those parents must learn that the \u201cpurpose of a public education in a public school is not to teach only what parents want them to be taught. It is to teach them what society needs them to know. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe client of the public schools is not the parent, but the entire community, the public,\u201d the Facebook post added.<\/p>\n<p>The original post was published Sunday but soon deleted. On Monday, the account shared a new post that said: \u201cWe have deleted a post that ignored the important role parents play\u2014and should play\u2014in Michigan public schools. Parents need to have a say in their children\u2019s education, end of story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe post does not reflect the views of Michigan and should not be misinterpreted as a statement of support from our elected officials or candidates,\u201d the post added.<\/p>\n<p>The original statement from the Michigan Democratic Party echoes sentiments from Democrats across the country, who have increasingly lashed out at parents expressing outrage over COVID-19 policies and their children being taught Critical Race Theory. Such a sentiment all but doomed former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe\u2019s campaign for a second, nonconsecutive term, when he said during the final gubernatorial debate in September that parents shouldn\u2019t have a say in their child\u2019s education.<\/p>\n<p>At one point during the debate, the candidates were asked out whether protections for transgender students should be determined at the state or local level. McAuliffe responded to an incident where a parent complained that two books available to high school students contained graphic sexual content and pedophilia. The school district&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/books-containing-pedophilia-graphic-sex-depictions-have-been-pulled-from-fairfax-schools\">removed the books<\/a>&nbsp;but later reinstated them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not gonna let parents come in to schools and actually take books off and make their own decisions,\u201d McAuliffe said to audience applause (the debate took place in ultra-Liberal Northern Virginia). \u201cI don\u2019t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get really tired of everybody running down teachers. I love our teachers and what they\u2019ve done through covid, these are real heroes who deserve our respect,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
