He is one of a handful of Republican candidates on the August 2 primary ballot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t co-parent with the government,\u201d Soldano says in the 30-second ad. \u201cMy pronouns: conservative, patriot. The woke groomer mafia wants to indoctrinate and subjugate our kids to their woke fantasies. It\u2019s time to fight back.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Soldano will release the ad Thursday on Detroit-area Fox News stations, and the commercial will go state-wide in the coming weeks, a spokesman for the Soldano campaign told The Daily Wire.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The commercial flags a headline from a recent Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/michigan-school-hides-student-transgender-parent\">story<\/a> on a Michigan middle school reportedly hiding students\u2019 transgender status from parents. In response, Soldano says he will \u201cturn Michigan into the parents\u2019 rights capital of America, and transition woke Whitmer out of office.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis gender theory and sexual theory that\u2019s being taught in schools, you have no right to do that. If you want to teach my kid critical anything, you teach him critical thinking, critical math, critical reading. You can teach my kid how to critically think, not what to think,\u201d Soldano, a father of two, told The Daily Wire in an interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Soldano said he wants to pursue education policies similar to those of Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-signs-parental-notification-bill-shrugs-off-dont-say-gay-uproar\">Parental Rights in Education bill<\/a> banned discussion on gender identity and sexual orientation for kindergarten through third-grade classrooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The GOP candidate told The Daily Wire that when it comes to education, he sees more of the problem with teachers unions than individual teachers. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a teacher problem,\u201d Soldano said. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to allow a few bad apples to spoil the whole bunch.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The solution to the problem in schools is getting more parents \u201cinvolved\u201d and \u201cengaged\u201d with their children\u2019s education, according to Soldano.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another Michigan Republican running for governor recently made news when she called out those targeting children with radical gender theory. Earlier this month, Tudor Dixon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/michigan-gop-gubernatorial-candidate-tudor-dixon-ill-criminalize-involving-children-in-drag-shows\">tweeted<\/a>, \u201cAs Governor, I will sign a bill that creates severe criminal penalties for adults who involve children in drag shows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis type of behavior is criminal child sexually abusive activity,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe will make Michigan the toughest state in the country on child sex abusers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the race for the Republican nomination heats up, both Soldano and Dixon have shown they are willing to tap into culture war issues to strike a chord with Michigan voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s happening right now is hot garbage,\u201d Soldano said in reference to public education, adding, \u201cI will always stand up for the ones who can\u2019t stand for themselves, for these children. And I will always back these parents for standing up against this garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Michigan Republican vying to unseat current Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer is set to air a new ad on Thursday targeting radical gender theory in schools and calling the governor \u201cwoke.\u201d\u00a0 In the ad, Garrett Soldano takes aim at what he calls the \u201cwoke groomer mafia,\u201d who he blames for pushing radical gender theory on &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":1517551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1517461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1517461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/324"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1517461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1517461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1517551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1517461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1517461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1517461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
