‘Arrogant’ teachers think they know better than parents, Rep. Chris Stewart says after seeing now-disputed video – By Marjorie Cortez (Deseret News) / Jan 31, 2023
Two Utah school districts describe Accuracy in Media video as “inaccurate,” “misleading” and “incomplete.”
Utah Republican Rep. Chris Stewart reacted on Twitter to a video that has been shared on conservative media channels featuring people identified in recordings as Utah educators explaining how they teach topics such as critical race theory that are restricted in Utah public school classrooms.
The Accuracy in Media video includes conversations with interview subjects who said they teach restricted topics to Utah students by instructing high school seniors “who don’t tell their parents” or the teachers send home information to parents after classroom presentations.
“This is why so many people don’t trust public education: arrogant teachers who think they know better than parents. And this is why nobody should be surprised that Utah gave parents the ability to choose with school vouchers. We will always fight for the rights of our parents,” @RepChrisStewart tweeted Monday.
