Michigan Democrats tell parents they are NOT ‘clients’ of public schools, that children should be taught ‘what society needs them to know’ – and that taxpayers should stay out of education

Michigan Democrats were heavily criticized over the weekend for telling parents that they are not ‘clients’ of public schools and that public education teaches kids what society ‘needs them to know.’

A Facebook post on Saturday shared by the state’s Democrats on their official page blasted the idea that parents should be involved in what public school teach their children. The post was taken down on Monday morning following heavy disapproval.

‘Not sure where this “parents-should-control-what-is-taught-in-schools-because-they-are-our-kids” 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,’ the post read.

‘The purpose of public education in public schools is not to teach kids only what parents want them to be taught,’ the Michigan Democratic Party’s post added. ‘It is to teach them what society needs them to know. The client of the public school is not the parent, but the entire community, the public.’

The Michigan Democratic Party later deleted the post on Martin Luther King Day and retracted its original statement. It is unclear who wrote the post – but Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been blasted for what many see as meddling by her party members.

Michigan Democrats have been blasted by Republican officials in the state for telling parents to sign their kids up in private schools if they don't like the education curriculum, adding that 'the client of the public school is not the parent, but the entire community, the public'

  1. Take THAT from a group of people who think kids need to learn “what society need them to know”, but, in their arrogant intellectualism, think writing, math, English, actual grades and evaluation are things they DON’T “need to know”.
    Society NEEDS adults who can read, write, add and subtract, and think critically.
    THESE people think all they need to know is that white people (ALL white people) are bad racists and keep holding them down from becoming rocket scientists and structural engineers with their white privilege and inherent racism.
    Sorry.
    Their credibility is about -2 on a 1-10 scale.

    Democrats.
    Again.

    Whenever anything is overpriced, overhyped, and underwhelming, look around and it’s guaranteed there will be democrats lurking around.
    Democrats. The DUMBEST people in history.

    Democrat president. The dumbest of the dumb.

    *** i just got back from Wal-Mart. It’s looks like they are going out of business and the old ladies haven’t even swarmed the store yet to buy 5 gallons of milk, 5 loaves of bread and 50 rolls of toilet paper for the upcoming blizzard.
    Democrats.
    Under Trump, I could buy groceries, fill up my gas tank, take my wife to dinner and still have money in the bank. Under a democrat regime, I have to decide — a tank of gas or the electric bill.
    Democrats.
    Three more years and we’ll be a third world welfare state.
