Back in 2020, Harvard Professor Elizabeth Bartholet argued for a “presumptive ban” on homeschooling. Besides perpetuating white supremacy, homeschooling violates children’s right to a “meaningful education” by putting that education in the hands of their parents. Bartholet noted that only about a dozen states have rules about the level of education needed by parents who homeschool: “That means, effectively, that people can homeschool who’ve never gone to school themselves, who don’t read or write themselves.”
Three years later, as attention has turned to school vouchers, which “steal” money from public schools that desperately need it, Georgia Rep. Lydia Glaize argues that, again, a lot of those parents didn’t finish high school. How many is “a lot”? Anyway, she’s “extremely concerned” about money going into the hands of parents who aren’t qualified to make decisions about their children’s education.
Georgia Rep. Lydia Glaize (D) says the QUIET PART OUT LOUD: "a lot of those parents did not finish high school.. I am extremely concerned that we would put money in their hands and that entire piece of life in the hands of parents who are not qualified to make those decisions" pic.twitter.com/z5Z7ktA0JY

Georgia House Education Subcommittee on Policy passed this bill to fund students instead of systems today.
The vote was 7 to 5.
It already passed the Senate 33 to 23 strictly along party lines.

Always. Seriously, the biggest critics of school choice have always sent their kids to private schools.

Definitely saying the quiet part out loud. What she's implying is, government "experts" know better than parents about raising kids, so parental rights should not exist without government approval. Scary stuff

Bureaucrats and union executives are who matters to these people. They'll never put students and parents first.

But their votes should count tho, right?
If the state doesn’t trust its citizens with their own kids, why would they be trusted with a ballot?

Progressives: Kids are qualified to make life/ body altering decisions and we should believe them
Also Progressives: People without a high school degree aren't qualified to parent.

That's incredibly insulting and wrong.

My father didn’t finish high school. I ended up:
-Managing 500M worth of construction projects
-started my own construction company
-started a software company now backed by the biggest investors in the world
-Became a successful investor in 2016.Power to the parents.

It's even worse than just an implication that parents don't know what's best. It's an implication that rich parents are "qualified" to choose private education, and poor parents are not.

Just… wow… they genuinely believe that K-12 is some sort of chance for their trained ideologues to seize children from their parents. That "special time" is that special… "indoctrination time" I guess. Teachers & schools are providing a service to parents & nothing more!

“I have a master’s degree. We all have advanced degrees! What do the parents have?” asked one teacher in Arizona.
It's amazing how holding a position in government makes you supremely qualified. There must be a moment when God reaches down and anoints them.

Stunning — and so the great outcome she inadvertently supports is the perpetuation of failure. It will just get better I guess.

Sure, the results coming out of public schools suck, but that just because they need more tax money.
