Moms for America: Kamala Harris’ Radical Education Policies Out of Step with America
Fletcher: "Kamala Harris could not be more out of step with the average American."
Houston, TX/July 24, 2024 – Moms For America is raising the alarm over the embrace of radical ideology on education policies expressed by presumed Democrat nominee for President, Vice President Kamala Harris, in a speech she delivered to the American Federation of Teachers today.
“Moms all over the country are appalled by Vice President Kamala Harris’ brazen endorsement of radical classroom activism today,” said Moms For America Founder Kimberly Fletcher. “The vice president attacked the parents’ rights movement while openly encouraging teachers to turn their classrooms into ideological indoctrination chambers. This is unacceptable and it’s un-American. Kamala Harris could not be more out of step with the average American. Our political leaders should be looking out for the best interests of our children, not politicizing education and curriculum.”
In her speech, Vice President Harris praised teachers for “teach[ing] students about democracy and representative government,” but a recent survey by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni found that civic literacy is at abysmal levels – in fact, only 27% of students even know that Kamala Harris is the President of the Senate. Instead of pandering to teachers by congratulating them for non-existing accomplishments, Harris should be challenging them to do better helping raise responsible citizens.
She also repeated the long-debunked lie about “banning books.” Moms For America does not favor book-banning, but we do object to the far-left's attempts to use school libraries and curricula to advance a radical agenda that is directly at odds with the values most parents want their children to learn.
Vice President Harris also spoke about her belief that teachers should be able to advocate for “the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride” — indicating her support for the movement that promotes sexualization of children as young as kindergarten.
