OK, we lied when we said we were done with posts about Thursday’s House debate over the proposed Parental Bill of Rights, which would give parents transparency into their children’s school curricula and keep them informed of violent events that take place on campus. As we reported, Democrats argued that the teachers were the sacrificial lambs, the law would “terrorize” them, and that it would lead to the death of students.
A lot of Democratic members of Congress were vying for the dumbest take of all. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries had the most blatantly untrue ones when he said extreme MAGA Republicans didn’t want the Holocaust taught in schools. Rep. Hank Johnson said the notion that there was some chilling of parent’s rights was about as true as there being incriminating material on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
We’ll do one more post to highlight Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who apparently is going with the myth that if the Parental Bill of Rights were passed, schools would stop teaching slavery, or that slavery was bad. She’s still fighting it today — in which country she didn’t say.

Wait, what? How did she get elected??

I'd like to take this opportunity to once again apologize on behalf of all Houstonians for Sheila Jackson Lee.

This is my Congresswoman. My sincerest apologies. We do NOT vote for her.

Really? So you are going to take your anti-slavery fight to China where it is still alive and well?

Does she represent Congo?

She’s special

There's a reason she has such high staff turnover in her office.

People actually pulled a lever for this women and said "that was a good idea".

Pretty sure everyone knows that and that’s always been part of the educational curriculum!
She never read CRT and that’s obvious!

Kids in her district graduate without being able to read.

The @TheDemocrats voters are still on the plantation, so she’s right.

Who is teaching that slavery is okay?
— FirstPrinciplesMike (@OldWisdom44) March 23, 2023
Yes, slavery still exists, in African, and Muslim countries, but she won’t mention that.
— Tracy 🇺🇸 (@TracyJHoban) March 23, 2023
It does still exist, in her head.

We better give her a house for 1 dollar.🤭🤭

@JacksonLeeTX18 needs to move on. Surely she can find other issues to care about. Same old song, same old verse. She is and has been useless for years.
— Linda Lee (@ImpressionsOfTx) March 23, 2023
Maybe if the kids could read they would see that their history books include the history of slavery.
— Pattypan (@Pattypan) March 23, 2023
Man, looks like the Democrats are in full melt-down, freak out mode. Wonder why.
— Lloyd. (@thatisfalse1) March 23, 2023
Again, if the Democrats had any valid arguments against the Parental Rights Bill they wouldn’t have to make up a bunch of lies. It says a lot about what they think of you that they think parents getting more involved in their kids’ education is a bad thing and they should butt out.
