With A Republican Victory in Passing the Parents Bill of Rights Act, Democrat Jerry Nadler Has Shocking Reaction

Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY) recently remarked that Republican lawmakers waste taxpayer money on their “conservative persecution fantasy” during a hearing about the House voting on the Parents Bill of Rights Act bill. His particular comments were over the scandal over the FBI’s handling of how discontent parents protested at school boards over critical race theory and over-sexualizing material being employed in the school curriculum.

The letter, which labeled the dissenting parents as domestic terrorists, that sparked the FBI devoting counterterrorism resources against parents was by the National School Boards Association was itself coordinated with the Biden White House. This is despite the fact, in the words of one U.S. Attorney’s Office, that one FBI local office “did not see any imminent threats to school boards or their members.. nor did they ascertain any worrisome trends in that regard.”

Indeed, no charges or arrests would be issued against any school board protester. Representative Mary Scanlon (D-PA) tried to flip Nadler’s comment on its head by saying in essence that the true persecutors were conservatives. She said that “[t]he real First Amendment threat” concerns the”attempt to turn classrooms into the epicenter of divisive culture wars” through conservative book banning and censorship of school curricula by “education gag orders” via Republican-controlled state legislatures. She further maintained that “MAGA extremists” were against “accurate teachings of racism”.

The Pennsylvanian Democrat’s narrative about the educational gagging laws issued by state legislatures misses what the controversy is. The incorporation of critical race theory into the general education system advocates a race-based and perpetual grievance-based way of viewing and acting in the world. There were documented instances of such incorporation.

One is a school district adopting a curriculum that instructed students that “all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism”. A public school ordered 8-9-year-old students to “deconstruct their racial identities and rank themselves according to their ‘power and privilege,’ as a required exercise in a third-grade math class.” Teachers were forbidden to require homework be turned in by students on time due to an anti-racism initiative.

The result of this material and ideology being mandated into the public education system has not resulted in better test scores. Indeed, in one school district following such incorporation “80% or more of fifth-graders fail[ed] to meet state reading and writing requirement.” According to Chris Rufo, the activist behind many of the state legislatures’ moves against this rot, the goal of state legislatures ought to pass bills “that promote transparency, gives parents an opt-out, and protects students against race essentialism and compelled speech.”

In effect, the aim of the legislation is to restore a colorblind education system and not sacrifice grades for ideological indoctrination. It is the ideology of race essentialism that this anti-critical race theory movement takes issue with and not topics like the history of slavery and the civil rights movements.

The sole witness that the Democrats brought to Congress to lambast the “book banning” in a recent hearing had to admit when Harriet Hageman (R-WY) that withholding Penthouse magazines from first graders ought not to be truly considered as censorship.

There is of course much irony in Mr. Nadler’s dismissing of a “conservative persecution fantasy” coming out now. Former President Donald Trump faces a prosecution and potential indictment at the present time from a Democratic Manhattan District Attorney. The DA’s case has been lambasted by legal scholars such as Alan Dershowitz as essentially absurd and weak in evidence. Dershowitz, himself a liberal, compared the political prosecution of Trump to how southern prosecutors used to act toward civil rights protesters.

As for what the Republicans advertise about their proposed Parents Bill of Rights in Congress, this can be best summarized by Wesley Hunt (R-TX)’s recent post on the matter. He through his press office wrote that “[p]arents have a right to be involved in the education of their children. Parents have a right to know what’s being taught in schools, they have a right to access the reading materials, they have a right to know their children are safe, and they have a right to be heard. I’m honored to support the Parents’ Bill of Rights.”
