Sec. of State Rubio: "Parents, not schools should raise children." no indoctrination | Eastern NC Now

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, appearing at a town hall event in Florida expressed his views that it is parents, not schools, who should be responsible for raising children.  Rubio said government's role in education should be minimized and there should be no indoctrination of children.

"It is neither the government's nor the schools' job to raise children. They're there to teach," Rubio declared, "Parents raise children.".  Addressing the "woke" mandates from the Biden era, Rubio said "What we are doing at the federal level is ensuring that we are not bullying states into adopting policies that, at the end of the day, turn those places from schools into indoctrination centers.  That's actually the way Marxism works.  They use schools to indoctrinate."
