Department of Education secretary Miguel Cardona criticized parents this week who protested against school boards concerning curriculum taught in American schools.
“I’ve never seen where it is now,” Cardona said during an interview. “There was civility. We could disagree. We could have healthy conversations around what’s best for kids.”
“I respect differences of opinion. I don’t have too much respect for people that are misbehaving in public and then acting as if they know what’s right for kids,” he continued.
“Or people that have a problem when we’re trying to provide some support for folks who are buried in debt and complain about a $10,000 support for thousands of their constituents, but are OK taking over a million dollars in loan forgiveness themselves as an elected official,” Cardona said. “That hypocrisy, I want to call it out.”
From The Blaze:
Cardona had made similar comments in the past when he tweeted that teachers knew what was best for children. "Teachers know what is best for their kids because they are with them every day. We must trust teachers," he wrote in May.
