Marxist wing of Crybaby Caucus catches Virginia Foxx in a ‘nothing-burger’
It’s good to see the crybabies going bi-partisan, or some might say multi-partisan. Until now, all we’ve seen from this bunch has been Phil Berger fans on and around Raleigh’s Jones Street.
We’re not big Foxx fans around here. It’s disappointing how she’s abandoned the conservatism she honed so well in Raleigh for the mushy RINO-ism of US House leadership. But we’ve found an instance where she’s getting a raw deal from the comrades in the drive-by media:
A Greensboro mother is calling out Republican U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx over a letter she said her son received from the congresswoman after a school assignment.
Emily Mango said her 10-year-old son was assigned to write a persuasive essay and send it to a changemaker. Her son decided to write to Foxx, urging the government to consider giving drivers a rebate for electric vehicle purchases. Mango said the topic was her son’s choice. […]
Her kid is in the fourth grade. Are we seriously supposed to believe a fourth grader came up with this topic all by himself without any coaching from his woke teacher or mother?
What did Foxx write back to her kid that was so ‘horrific’ and ‘shocking’?
Stuff like THIS:
*Shocking*, huh? As a college professor, I’ve dealt with the mischief of K-12 *educators* before. I remember – in one business class I taught – asking students to define capitalism for me. One student raised his hands and said: “The rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer.”
Karl Marx and Barack Obama could not be prouder, I’m sure. There are plenty of good teachers out there who try really hard to deliver a good education. But, unfortunately, the loudest mouths in that profession are radical ideologues who felt right at home at the big “Trump is Hitler” rally in Raleigh on May 1. Something HAS to be done to thwart this vicious assault on our culture and the character of this country by the public school mafia.

[…] In her letter, Foxx cited numerous articles from news organizations and criticized the boy’s teacher, writing, “Please ask your teacher to explain propaganda to you. My guess is that your teachers will not give you a good educational experience and help you learn to think as they are too interested in indoctrinating you.”
Mango called the letter “horrific” and addressed Foxx on Facebook, writing, “Reprehensible response. You crossed a line when you attacked a child and attacked teachers. You don’t deserve to be on a Committee for Education when you talk to children like this and think so lowly of teachers.”[…]
The Foxx letter, in its entirety, is posted below. Nowhere in there is an attack on the kid. Nowhere. (*So, apparently, you can’t criticize a public school teacher — even when they are blowing off work to march down the street with a “Trump is Hitler” sign.*)
This letter from Foxx is a great educational opportunity. In all honesty, Foxx – or, rather, the staffer who wrote this — is right on the money.

[…] Fox8 in Greensboro reported that Mango’s son was upset that his teacher was criticized, because his teacher did not pick the topic or write the letter.
Although the typed letter was signed “Virginia Foxx,” Fox8 reached out to the congresswoman’s office to ask if she wrote the letter or if it was a member of her staff. The news outlet also asked if Foxx plans to apologize for her letter. […]
The folks at WRAL and all other drive-by outlets know full well that Members of Congress do not personally respond to every letter sent to their office. And what is there to apologize for? Trying to give the kid a lesson on free market economics that the public schools are clearly denying him?
This, right here, is shameful. But it’s long been clear the remnants of our state’s dying drive-by media have no shame whatsoever. 
Teacher union mouthpiece Justin Parmenter jumped on the anti-Foxx bandwagon. As did so many other statewide drive-bys. There is a lot going on in the world. It’s amazing that the hysterics of one woke, overprotective “helicopter” mom were so deserving of Murphy-to-Manteo coverage. Talk about a big ol’ nothing-burger.
