JD Vance is doubling down on the latest unearthed example of his disparaging comments about teachers and modern families: but as a new school year begins, we can’t ignore it when he attacks teachers and undermines children, parents, and families.
The recently surfaced clip shows Vance ranting about how educators like me want to “brainwash and destroy the minds of children.” To make matters worse, he then says that teachers who do not have biological children should “leave ours the hell alone.”
Add your name to tell JD Vance and all candidates to stop bullying educators.
Vance’s attacks on families’ private lives and safe, inclusive schools is part of an extreme agenda driven by anger and divisiveness that includes abolishing the Department of Education, undermining the Individuals with Disabilities Education (IDEA) Act, cutting funding from Pell Grants for students, and opposing debt relief for family members who are paying a penalty for simply seeking a degree. Oh, and of course Vance is also on the record attacking universities and declaring that professors are the “enemy of the people.”
Trump and Vance’s friends at Project 2025 also call for eliminating funding for Title I schools which serve the students and communities in greatest need of investment, all while tearing down the separation of church and state, censoring honest history, and punishing educators for their personal lives.
