United States Parents Involved in Education Action – August 19, 2022
It was a pleasure to receive the endorsement from United States Parents Involved in Education Action (USPIE Action). USPIE Action is at the forefront of returning education back to students and assuring the parental role in education. I grew up during Mao’s cultural revolution, and I have witnessed firsthand, communist indoctrination in classrooms. In recent years we have seen similar things. A steady slide toward education not being transparent, racist indoctrination in classrooms such as CRT, parents being shut out, and federal overreach into our community’s classrooms. In Congress, I will be a champion for putting students first and returning the education to local communities and parents.
