Dem Candidate Goes On Tirade Against Parents Wanting A Say In Kids’ Education, Then Doubles Down

After an 18-month-old video resurfaced of a Democratic Virginia House of Delegates candidate saying parents should not dictate what their children learn in schools, the politician doubled down, reinforcing her previous sentiments.

Prior to the 2021 Virginia governor’s race, Jessica Anderson made a video about “some of the parents that live in Virginia” saying that they should “not be dictating what [their] daughter and son’s curriculums look like.”

On Thursday, Anderson posted a response to the 2021 video, saying she still stands by her previous statements and that while she advocates for parents “asking questions” they have “no business writing curriculum.”
