>> Jeanine: THE LIBERAL MEDIA
IS SMEARING THE PARENTAL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT AS A THREAT TO
DEMOCRACY AND CLAIMING THAT YOUR
CHILDREN DON’T BELONG TO YOU.
BLASTING MOMS AND DADS AS PART
OF A RIGHT-WING CAMPAIGN,
"CHILDREN AREN’T PRIVATE
PROPERTY BUT A PUBLIC
RESPONSIBILITY TO EXPAND OUR
DEMOCRATIC PROJECT TO CHILDREN I
SECURITY, THE RIGHT SEEKS TO
DENY THEM.
EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE, SHELTER,
FOOD, A BETTER AMERICA BEGINS
WITH A CHILD."
NOW, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
STUNNING.
SO, THIS WRITER SAYS THAT
CHILDREN ARE NOT THE PROPERTY OF
THEIR PARENTS, HAROLD, THAT
INSTEAD THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY THE
PROPERTY OF THE STATE AND
SCHOOLS.
ANDIN LOCO PARENTIS AND ALL OF T
IS OUT THE DOOR, AND THEY
BASICALLY IN THE ARTICLE COME IF
YOU READ IT, EVISCERATE THE
PARENTS WHO ARE TRYING TO
CONTROL WHAT IS GOING ON IN
SCHOOLS.
>> Harold: I THINK IT IS GREAT
WHEN PARENTS ARE INVOLVED IN
SCHOOLS.
I HAVE A 9-YEAR-OLD AND A
7-YEAR-OLD AND I AM ACTIVE AND
INVOLVED IN MY KIDS FOSTER VIA
SCHOOL.
GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, THEY TEACH
MATH DIFFERENTLY THAN WHEN I WAS
IN SCHOOL AND I HAVE TRIED TO
GET -- THEY WANT KIDS TO ENJOY
MATH.
THEY THINK THROW A
MULTIPLICATION TABLE IN FRONT OF
MY CASE AND SAID MEMORIZE IT OR
GET PUNISHED, SO I MEMORIZED IT.
MY PARENTS GIVE MORE DEFERENCE
TO TEACHERS.
IF I EVER CAME HOME AND
COMPLAINED ABOUT SCHOOL, MY MOM
WOULD GO BACK WITH ME TO SCHOOL
AND SAY "GIVE HIM MORE OF THAT."
IF I COMPLAIN ABOUT A COACH
RUNNING ME TOO MUCH OR IT WAS
TOO DIFFICULT, SHE GO SAY, "RUN
HIM MORE."
I THINK THERE HAS TO BE A
BALANCE.
FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE PARENTS
SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IN
SCHOOLS, THAT’S FOOLISH.
PARENTS PAY FOR SCHOOL EITHER
WITH TAX DOLLARS OR A PRIVATE
SCHOOL OUT OF THEIR OWN IN
ADDITION TO PAYING TAX DOLLARS.
I THINK WE’LL HAVE TO TAKE A
LITTLE STEP BACK HERE.
THE POLITICS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE
GOTTEN NUTTY.
HOPEFULLY REVEREND SHARPTON WILL
COME OUT AND SAY SOMETHING ABOUT
THIS FOR SOMEONE ELSE WILL COME
OUT AND SAY SOMETHING AND GET
PROGRESSIVES AND SOMEONE TO COME
TOGETHER.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BALANCE.
IF MR. AND ALGEBRA AND THAT IS
GOING TO BE TAUGHT. >> Jeanine: I’M NOT SO SURE IT
>> Jeanine: I’M NOT SO SURE IT
IS ABOUT THE SUBJECT MATTER, THE
PHILOSOPHY, IT IS
ANTIDEMOCRATIC, AND THE PEOPLE
ON THE RIGHT WHO WANT TO HAVE
ARE AUTHORITARIAN.
BUT WHEN THEY SAY THAT CHILDREN
ARE THE PROPERTY OF THE STATE,
AREN’T THEY BEING TOTALITARIAN
AS OPPOSED TO AUTHORITARIAN?
>> Greg: OUTCOME ALSO COME IF
YOU WANT TO SCREW THE KIDS
COMING HAVE TO SCREW THE
PARENTS, FIRST.
THAT MEANS POSITIONING PARENTS
AS THE THREAT.
WHAT IS THE RUSE THEY USE TO
CREATE -- IN ORDER TO CREATE
PARENTS AS THE THREAT, YOU HAVE
TO MAKE IT ABOUT A RIGHT TO
PRIVACY.
THIS WOMAN MENTIONED ALL OF
THESE RIGHTS THAT ARE
APPARENTLY, WE ARE WITHHOLDING
THEM FROM CHILDREN.
LIKE THE RIGHT TO SHELTER AND
THE RIGHT TO FOOD, SHUT THE F
UP.
I DON’T KNOW WHO THIS LADY IS
BUT THAT IS THE PARENTS PURVIEW
TO PROVIDE THAT.
THEY USE THIS RIGHT TO PRIVACY
ROOTS, RIGHT?
IT IS HOW ACTIVIST TEACHERS
INSERT THEMSELVES IN THE LIVES
OF KIDS, BETWEEN THEM AND THEIR
PARENTS.
THEY ARE SAYING THE RIGHT TO
PRIVACY ENTAILS THAT WE CAN KEEP
SECRETS TOGETHER.
THAT YOU CAN TELL ME SOMETHING,
AND I CAN TELL YOU SOMETHING,
BUT YOU BETTER NOT TO TELL MOMMY
AND DADDY BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING
TO GET REALLY UPSET.
NEVER TRUST AN ADULT WHO TELLS
KIDS "IT’S OUR LITTLE SECRET."
IT IS NOW ABOUT -- IT IS NOT
WHAT YOU THINK ANYMORE, BUT IT
IS WORST FEAR FOR HIS
INDOCTRINATION INTO A CULT.
I ALSO HAVE TO DEFEND TEACHERS
INTO GENERAL BECAUSE THESE
TICK-TOCK TEACHERS ARE
REDEFINING HOW WE LOOK AT THE
PROFESSION AND WE MAY BE WRONG
BY IT.
I AM HOPING IT IS ONLY 5%, WHICH
IS A LOT OF THE WORKFORCE, BUT
IT FEELS LIKE IT IS 50% BECAUSE
YOU SEE IT SO MUCH AND I AM SURE
THERE ARE CAPABLE TEACHERS WHO
ARE JUST AS DISGUSTED AS THE
PARENTS ARE ABOUT THIS WEIRD,
CALLEDY BEHAVIOR BUT THEY ARE
TOO SCARED TO SPEAK UP.
>> Jeanine: YOU KNOW, MARTHA,
THEY SAY THE COURT OF THE
CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT IS
ANTITHETICAL TO DEMOCRACY.
BUT THE TRUTH IS, WHEN YOU LOOK
AT WHAT GOVERNMENT DID, LIKE
GAVIN NEWSOM IN CALIFORNIA,
CLOSED THE SCHOOLS FOR TWO YEARS
AND SUFFERING SINCE THE
PANDEMIC, FOURTH GRADERS AND
EIGHTH GRADERS MATH DOWN, ALL OF
THESE INCREDIBLE NUMBERS.
>> Martha: EXACTLY.
I HAVE THREE CHILDREN.
I WOULDN’T REFER TO THEM AS MY
PROPERTY.
THEY ARE MY CHILDREN.
AND OF COURSE, MY HUSBAND AND I
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RAISING
THEM.
IF WE ARE SUPPOSED TO TRUST THE
STATE TO GIVE THEM FOOD AND
SHELTER AND EDUCATION, THEY ARE
DOING A REALLY BAD JOB BECAUSE,
AS YOU POINT OUT, IT IS SO
PATHETIC, THE AMOUNT OF
PROFICIENCY IN READING AND
SCIENCE, MAYBE WE SHOULD GO BACK
TO THE WAY HAROLD’S TEACHERS
TAUGHT HIM BECAUSE WE ARE
FAILING OUR KIDS.
WE HAVE KIDS AND EIGHTH GRADE
WHO READ AT A THIRD GRADE LEVEL.
THIS IS A CRISIS.
SO DON’T TELL ME THE STATE CAN
DO IT BETTER THAN THE PARENT
BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING A LOUSY
JOB.
WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR HEALTH,
DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, FROM
LOCKDOWNS DURING COVID, OKAY,
YOU FAIL THERE, AS WELL.
I LOVE THIS LINE FROM THIS, SHE
SAID, SHE GOES ON AT LENGTH THAT
THE RIGHT WING CHRISTIANS HAVE
EMBRACED THE PARENTAL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT TO MOLD THEIR CHILDREN
HOW THEY CHOOSE, MUCH LIKE ANY
DOMESTICATED ANIMAL.
>> Jeanine: YEAH.
>> Martha: WHO IS THIS PERSON?
>> Greg: PROBABLY A WHITE
FEMALE LIBERAL.
>> Jeanine: YES.
YOU KNOW WHAT, JESSE, MSNBC
GUESTS COMPARED SUPPORT OF
CLASSICAL EDUCATION TO BEING A
PRO-CONFEDERACY DOG WHISTLE.
>> Jesse: OKAY.
WELL, THEY ARE JUST THROWING
LINGO TOGETHER.
>> Jeanine: THE LANGUAGE THING
THAT PEOPLE BUY INTO.
>> Jesse: THEY DO, BUT I DON’T
THINK MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT.
I’M WITH GREG, I KNOW THAT MOST
TEACHERS ARE THAT CRAZY, AND I
DON’T THINK MIKE CHILDREN ARE MY
PROPERTY.
THEY ARE MORE LIKE RENTAL
PROPERTY.
YOU PAY FOR THEM FOR A WHILE AND
THEN YOU ARE BOTH UNDER
DIFFERENT GROUPS.
>> Greg: IT IS LIKE A
TIME-SHARE.
>> Jesse: I INTERVIEWED A
MOTHER ON "JESSE WATTERS PRIME
TIME" SHE HAD HER DAUGHTER IN
SCHOOL AND THEY THREW A CHEST
BINDER ON HER, CALLED HER A
DIFFERENT NAME, AND HID IT FROM
THE MOM.
NOW SHE IS SUING --
>> GOOD FOR HER.
>> Jesse: SHE IS GETTING HEAT
FROM OTHER DEMOCRATS, WHICH
MAKES NO SENSE.
>> Jeanine: ON THE ONE HAND,
