Nikole Hannah-Jones still doesn’t want parents to have a say in schooling

After Meet the Press host Chuck Todd noted that “the Virginia’s governor’s race was arguably decided on the strength of how influential should parents be on curriculum,” Hannah-Jones responded:

I don’t really understand this idea that parents should decide what’s being taught. I’m not a professional educator. I don’t have a degree in social studies or science. We send our children to school because we want them to be taught by people who have an expertise in the subject area. And that is not my job. When the governor or the candidate said that he didn’t think parents should be deciding what’s being taught in school, he was panned for that. But that’s just the fact.
