Republican Sen. Tim Scott was quoted recently: “We are putting parents back in charge of their kids’ education.”
Good!
However, it might not surprise you to know that quote triggered Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell, who responded with a tweet that speaks volumes (none of them good) but does give away the Democrat game:
Please tell me what I’m missing here. What are we doing next? Putting patients in charge of their own surgeries? Clients in charge of their own trials? When did we stop trusting experts. This is so stupid. pic.twitter.com/VZRMZpp234

“This is so stupid.” Well, Swalwell got that right, but only in regard to his tweet.
Analogies are tough.

Good lord your analogy was terrible and in no way relates to what he said. Children are not patients and children are not clients you nitwit.

School choice warrior Corey DeAngelis knows exactly what Swalwell’s saying loud and clear:
they think they own your kids. https://t.co/NrPfejO64w

They do — they really do.
Parents ARE the experts when it comes to the needs of their own children. https://t.co/yKtrH3ogHb

Excellent messaging.
Run with this.

People like Swalwell are offended by school choice because they believe the State should own your children https://t.co/vxVowOn0Cg

Many of the people making decisions about schools are hardly experts. https://t.co/WA7WC9XVKX

By “experts” Swalwell means the government — and you know how “expert” they usually turn out to be.
Even if you want to consider teachers experts in their field (they're not, and never were), we stopped trusting them when they told us, loud and clear, to stop trusting them. https://t.co/n3rsFSz9gr

Swalwell considers education “experts” to be people such as Randi Weingarten. Um, no thanks.
People ARE in charge of their own surgeries, you dunce. https://t.co/cAcjc27Ynr
