Working-Class Parents Don’t Have Intelligence to Oversee Their Kids’ Educations - BEARCATDALE - 06-12-2020 01:08 AM
NHDem Senator
Quote:Working-class parents without college degrees aren’t capable of overseeing their own children’s education, according to comments State Sen. Jeanne Dietsch (D-Peterborough) made during a House Education Committee hearing on Tuesday.
“This idea of parental choice, that’s great if the parent is well-educated. There are some families that’s perfect for. But to make it available to everyone? No. I think you’re asking for a huge amount of trouble,” Dietsch said.

1. A degree does not equal intelligence
2. Many parents choose ignorance, but they are capable
3. Assumes public education is the only option

If your dad's a carpenter, you're probably far better off becoming a carpenter than going to university and majoring in gender studies.
