Biden’s Education Secretary criticized for belittling parents’ opinions on children’s welfare.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona Criticized for Disrespecting Parents at School Board Meetings
In a recent interview, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona sparked controversy by expressing his lack of respect for parents who speak up at school board meetings. Cardona, a key figure in the Biden administration, also criticized parents for “acting like they know what’s right for kids” in government schools.
The comments, made during an interview with the Associated Press, quickly drew backlash online. Cardona was questioned about various topics, including student loan forgiveness and a Supreme Court ruling on race considerations in college admissions.
One topic that particularly stood out was the growing interest among parents in having a say in their children’s education. Cardona responded by lamenting the loss of civility in America and stating that he doesn’t have much respect for people who misbehave in public and claim to know what’s best for kids.
The Secretary of Education faced heavy criticism on Twitter, with many accusing him of demeaning parents and disregarding their concerns. Videos of parents expressing their dissatisfaction with school curriculum have gone viral on social media, further fueling the controversy surrounding Cardona’s remarks.
This is not the first time Cardona has faced criticism for his handling of parental concerns. His department previously equated parents challenging educators on curriculum to domestic terrorists, leading to further scrutiny.
The controversy surrounding Cardona’s comments highlights the ongoing tension between parents and education officials. As the debate over what is taught in classrooms continues, it remains to be seen how this clash of perspectives will be resolved.

How has social media played a role in the backlash against Miguel Cardona?
The Education Secretary, Miguel Cardona, has found himself in hot water after making controversial remarks about parents who voice their opinions at school board meetings. In an interview with the Associated Press, Cardona expressed his lack of respect for parents who “act like they know what’s right for kids” in government-run schools.
These comments quickly sparked backlash online, with many accusing Cardona of disrespecting parents and disregarding their concerns. Videos of parents expressing dissatisfaction with school curriculum have gone viral on social media, further fueling the controversy surrounding Cardona’s remarks.
This is not the first time Cardona has faced criticism for his handling of parental concerns. His department previously equated parents challenging educators on curriculum to domestic terrorists, which only added to the scrutiny he faces.
The controversy surrounding Cardona’s comments highlights the ongoing tension between parents and education officials. As the debate over what is taught in classrooms continues, it remains to be seen how this clash of perspectives will be resolved.
Twitter users have also chimed in on the matter, with many expressing their disappointment and outrage. The Heritage Foundation tweeted, “When they tell you your children are ‘all of our kids,’ believe them, because they intend to treat you like it.” Another Twitter user, Libs of TikTok, criticized Cardona for demeaning parents and suggesting that parents don’t know what’s best for their own children.
Steve Deace, host of the Steve Deace Show, called the situation “demonic” and urged people to combat it with truth, perseverance, and courage of conviction.
It is clear that Cardona’s comments have struck a nerve with parents and concerned individuals alike. The role of parents in shaping their children’s education is a deeply personal and important one, and it is crucial for education officials to listen and respect their views. As the education system continues to evolve and debates on curriculum and policies persist, finding common ground and understanding between parents and education officials is imperative for the betterment of students’ education.
