Very Clear Thinking From (a Few) Republicans

You may have seen this story and scratched your head.

The Parent Rights Bill passed the House 213-218. No Democrats voted for it, and five Republicans didn’t.

According to Fox News, the bill “would require school districts to give parents access to curriculum and reading lists and would require schools to inform parents if school staff begin encouraging or promoting their child’s gender transition.”...

One of the five was Matt Gaetz, who is among the most conservative Pubbies in Congress.  

So does Gaetz oppose parents?  Parental controls?

Hardly.

...“From Wokeness to funding to bathrooms to Critical Race Theory, the federal government SHOULD NOT be involved in education,” Matt Gaetz tweeted. “I don’t want to strengthen the federal Department of Education. I want to abolish it. I don’t want Congress more involved in decisions that are best made in local school districts. I want the Congress less involved. Therefore, I voted against today’s Republican bill to establish a federal ‘Parents Bill of Rights.'”...

He's right, you know.

Let's see if Wisconsin Republicans get behind the abolition of the Department of Education when the time comes.
