A Democratic candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates is facing backlash after a video resurfaced showing her claiming parents shouldn’t be deciding the curriculum for their children.
Jessica Anderson posted a video during the 2021 gubernatorial race where she slammed the parents whose votes she is now seeking.
“I’m sorry, but I’ve seen some of the parents that live in Virginia,” Anderson said on the TikTok video. “You should not be dictating what your daughter and son’s curriculums look like.”

She went on to insult homeschooling parents as well. "If you want to do that, there’s a thing called homeschool. Indoctrinate them there, but not in my kids’ public schools," she added in the video. When asked by Fox News Digital to comment on the resurfaced video, Anderson objected that critics were dishonestly claiming she called parents "crazy" when she never used the word. "I would never state that as someone who loves my students and their families in this community," Anderson responded. "As a mom to three daughters, two of which are still in public school, I absolutely believe we should be able to question our students' education, push back if necessary, and have an active role in the education process."
