President Joe Biden is facing harsh criticism for comments he made about the “nation’s children.”
During an event at the White House on Monday, Biden said, “Rebecca put a teacher’s creed into words when she said, ‘There is no such thing as someone else’s child.’ No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children.”
“As I often say, you teachers hold the kite strings to lift our national ambitions aloft. You really do. Imagine. Imagine. Just imagine if we didn’t have great teachers in this country. What difficulty. You are determining our future,” he added.
It is one thing to encourage teachers to ensure they are giving children the best education they can receive. But, children do not belong to the community. And there is not some inherent responsibility for others to start sticking their fingers in other parents’ methods of raising or caring for their own children unsolicited.
