Democrats blunder into another war on parents

 Fox News:

...

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., blasted the Democrats as prioritizing waging "a war on parents" and said that Republicans "standing up for parents and kids" is one of many factors that will contribute to Republicans flipping the House.

"Big-government Democrats have made it their number one priority over the last year to wage a war on parents, from colluding with union bosses to keep kids shut out of schools, to trying to label parents as domestic terrorists for taking an active interest in their kids’ education by speaking out at school board meetings," Scalise said.

"Now, Biden and his extremist allies are doubling down on this insanity by trying to force sex education on five-year-olds without the consent of their parents."

"As we saw in Virginia, parents will not stand for this and will not support a political party that tries to take away their rights to have a say in their kids’ education," he continued. "Republicans will continue to stand up for parents and kids against this liberal lunacy and government control, and that’s one of the many reasons we will win back the House in November."

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik of New York told Fox News Digital that parents "are the primary stakeholders in their children's education, not the federal government or Far-Left activists."

"Democrat politicians across America have failed to learn these lessons from Glenn Youngkin's historic victory last November in Virginia and are now doomed to a similar fate as Terry McAuliffe on the national level," Stefanik said. "When House Republicans earn back the majority this November, we will enact our Parents Bill of Rights. This legislation will make it clear that parents matter and should have a voice in their child's education."
...

"Now Democrats nationwide are running on the exact same platform," he continued. "It’s like they saw McAuliffe lose decisively in a state Biden won by 10 points and thought, ‘hold my beer.’"

The Heritage Foundation education fellow Jonathan Butcher told Fox News Digital that any "official who is advocating against parents’ rights today is missing the importance of this cultural moment."

It looks like the education establishment is really out of touch with what parents expect of them in the classroom.  This is particularly true of the teachers' unions.  Disney is already seeing a backlash from its support of sex ed for preschoolers.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
