First lady Jill Biden’s recent statement proclaiming her husband, President Joe Biden, as the “education president” has sparked significant criticism from education leaders and concerned parents nationwide. The claim has drawn attention to the president’s record on education and his administration’s policies.
Sheri Few, president and founder of United States Parents Involved in Education, responded to Jill Biden’s remarks, asserting that Biden is the most anti-parent education president in American history. Few cited the president’s support for the liberal National Education Association (NEA) agenda and the Department of Justice’s attempt to label parents as domestic terrorists for objecting to explicit content and critical Marxist theories in schools.
The release of the “Nation’s Report Card” further amplified concerns. The report showed a significant decline in reading and math scores among 13-year-olds, reaching their lowest levels in decades. Critics argue that the prolonged school closures, encouraged by the Biden administration, have contributed to this decline.
Erika Sanzi, director of outreach at Parents Defending Education and a former educator, strongly criticized Biden’s handling of education. Sanzi accused the president of prioritizing the demands of teachers’ unions over the well-being of students, leading to prolonged school closures and the erosion of two decades of progress in reading and math.
Dr. Jameson Taylor, American Family Association senior fellow and director of policy for AFA Action, highlighted Biden’s missed opportunity to prioritize core subjects. Taylor argued that the president’s preoccupation with implementing critical race theory (CRT) and transgender ideologies has compromised student safety and distracted from essential educational objectives.
The criticism against Biden’s education policies reflects a growing sentiment among parents and education experts who are deeply concerned about the state of education in America. The decline in academic performance, coupled with the promotion of divisive ideologies, has fueled a wave of discontent.
As responsible citizens, it is our duty to hold our leaders accountable and demand meaningful reforms that prioritize quality education. The focus should be on equipping our students with the necessary skills for success and fostering an environment that encourages academic achievement.
Let us stand together in advocating for a system that places the needs of our children at the forefront and ensures a brighter future for generations to come.
