Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) questions U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland as he testifies at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about oversight of the Department of Justice on October 27, 2021 in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Tasos Katopodis-Pool\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 1:24 PM PT \u2013 Wednesday, November 3, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.) weighed in yet again on the left\u2019s growing influence on public schools. During an interview on Monday, the Arkansas Republican pointed out bureaucrats are trying to convince parents that they know what\u2019s best for their kids despite not having children themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn some cases, [they] don\u2019t even have kids. Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Teacher\u2019s Federation, the biggest teacher\u2019s organization in America, doesn\u2019t even have children of her own, yet she presumes to dictate to parents about how they should care for their kids, about what they should think about their kids\u2019 own education. It\u2019s just a perfect example of the modern left and their bureaucratic mindset about how they know better than everyone,\u201d said Cotton.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Randi Weingarten, the head of the nation\u2019s biggest teacher\u2019s organization, praised an op-ed titled \u201cParents Claim They Have the Right to Shape Their Kids\u2019 School Curriculum\u2026They Don\u2019t.\u201d However, Cotton stressed parents\u2019 growing concern about what their children are being taught behind closed doors is justified.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Unlike you, most young teachers, nuns, and others without kids don\u2019t try to close schools down. So spare me the fake outrage. What\u2019s really outrageous is what you\u2019ve done to kids. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bGhVPPT7t7\">https:\/\/t.co\/bGhVPPT7t7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenTomCotton\/status\/1455595207496454157?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On the other hand, Cotton noted that Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe had dismissed concerns about public schools, yet is known to send his own children to expensive private schools that average Americans can\u2019t afford.<\/p>\n<p>Cotton warned the left will continue pushing for further centralization of control, planning and power over all aspects of American life. Although, he suggested parents are making a huge difference simply by standing up for their right to have control over their children\u2019s education and upbringing.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mcconnell-biden-proposal-to-give-illegal-immigrants-1m-sounds-like-it-was-a-parody-created-by-gop\/\">McConnell: Biden Proposal To Give Illegal Immigrants $1M Sounds Like It Was A Parody Created By GOP<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 OCTOBER 27: Sen.
