An Idaho state Democrat lawmaker’s creepy comments about kids in school only confirm the worst suspicions about the nefarious intentions of leftists who have waged a relentless campaign to usurp parental rights.
Evidently, it is the belief of Idaho Senator Janie Ward-Engelking that children are the property of the state once they are inside a classroom and in the clutches of far-left radicals who hide behind their educational credentials to poison vulnerable young minds.
Idaho Democrat Senator: “When your children walk into our classroom, they become ours… those kids in that classroom, they’re ours. They’re ours, too.”

“When your children walk into our classroom, they become ours… those kids in that classroom, they’re ours. They’re ours, too,” she said.

Video of the Democrat control freak’s alarming spiel to other lawmakers has gone viral on social media, where it drew an outraged reaction from X users.
That’s creepy as hell. Kids belong to their parents, not the state.

Calling them communists is indeed historically accurate in this case, as a core communist tenet is the belief that children belong to the state and parents are merely their temporary caretakers.
A truly depraved philosophy, and it guides today’s Democrat Party.

I remember when Obama first said to parents,those aren’t your children,they’re everyone’s children.I immediately thought if that doesn’t put a chill down every parent’s spine,nothing https://t.co/YNLQQYWPBJ here we are.Evil has taken over the classroom.

That mindset is exactly why parents are pushing back. Kids don’t belong to the government—they belong to their families. Schools educate, not replace parents.

Hey lady with the out of date Beatle haircut, you have no “ownership” or agency over these children. Their parents pay taxes which pay your salary. The parents are the clients they have a right to determine what is going to be taught to their children.

This is the face of evil that lurks all acorss America.
People who think they know what’s best for our children.
They don’t believe in God, family or individualism.
We can either run for office to stop these tyrrants or we can watch them take our children from us.— Ed Renner (@Onecrazyndn) April 4, 2026
Disgusting. But child sacrifice is a badge of honor to the Democrats..

Communists can’t convince enough people to convert to their religion.
They have to create their minions through indoctrination.
That’s why communists capture and refuse to relinquish power over the education system.

This is why homeschooling is becoming more popular.— AnnoyedConservative (@AnnoyedConserv1) April 4, 2026
Ward-Engelking’s comments should make parents’ skin crawl, knowing that whenever they send their children off to school, there is a good chance that they are marching them into indoctrination centers where their heads will be filled with communist ideology and homosexual depravity by committed leftist fanatics masquerading as teachers.
