REBECCA FRIEDRICHS (GUEST): We should look to the past. So, let's just take the free lunch program that we have in our schools. It started out being pushed by the unions and their friends for poor children. Well, 28 years ago, I had two students in my class on free lunch. Today almost every single child is on free breakfast and free lunch. So what the unions are trying to do, they've pushing something called community schools. And in these community schools, we're giving children free health care, we're are giving them free food, free emotional support, and by the way free political indoctrination for their parents. And so, if these unions and their friends, their politicians, get their way, they would like our schools to be open 24/7. They want to replace the family and families raising their children with our own virtues, they want to replace that with the state. With union-controlled government-run schools. That's dangerous. That's communism when you think about it.

        Unironically, this is exactly her issue. She wants children corrected and controlled by direct patriarchal violence. That's what she means when she says school are replacing families - emotional competency is replacing patriarchal violence, which is the most fundamental social structure of conservatism.
