(Christian Headlines) The Democratic Party of Michigan faced pushback Saturday over a Facebook post that questioned parents’ role in schools and declared that the purpose of education is to teach children “what society needs them to know.”
The party released a statement about the post, although some parents questioned whether the original comments reflected the true position of the party.
“Not sure where this ‘parents-should-control-what-is-taught-in-schools-because-they-are-our-kids’ is originating, but parents do have the option to send their kids to a hand-selected private school at their own expense if this is what they desire,” the now-deleted post by the party read, according to The Detroit News.
