It’s an existential threat to Democrats if parents shift to the Republican Party — and that is already happening, in Virginia and beyond.
Polling in the Virginia elections just concluded this week showed parents breaking for Republicans over education policies, which has Democrats alarmed.
On MSNBC Wednesday, a former Obama campaign manager declared, in an urgent tone, “The one thing that we need to make sure that Republicans in 2022 don’t become is the party of parents. Because we need to be the party of parents.”

It’s too late; that’s already happening. Even the hoax-mongering New York Times can see it, and they’re afraid too.

Get that? Parental rights in scare quotes and insisting it’s racist to complain about the clearly subpar quality of instruction offered to most American children in public schools
