The Cage Biden Wants for American Children

What about summer vacations? Should children have them? Or is it better to keep them in school 12 months a year?

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia - seeing the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to permanently expand government control over the lives of American children - asked Marten about the prospect of keeping them in school for the summer.

"So, what we build this summer, I can say from very real experience as a principal of an inner-city school, we were a year-round school, and we had summer programs as well, and I always saw the difference that it made when students had uninterrupted learning," she said.

The post-COVID-19 vision of this Biden administration bureaucrat: Children will go to school this summer, this fall, next winter, next spring and next summer - and that will set the model for the future of America's government schools.

In his campaign pronouncements, Biden repeatedly vowed to take 3-year-old children out of their homes and put them in school.

According to the government itself, children do better academically in Catholic schools than they do in government schools.

If the Biden administration truly wanted to give children a better chance to learn, it would encourage school districts to give all parents a voucher equal to the cost of educating a child in the local public schools and let them redeem that voucher at any school they want.
