A Democrat state representative named Anne Allen Westbrook declared that every child in the state is hers during a debate on a bill providing scholarships for parents to pursue school choice.
Westbrook opposed the bill, which failed to pass, but her declaration was very telling.
FOX News reports:
Georgia Dem takes heat for claiming every child in state is hers: Does she ‘understand how creepy this is?’Twitter users scratched their heads at a Georgia Democrat’s spiel during a State House discussion on the state’s SB 233, also coined the Georgia Promise Scholarship Act, that failed to clear the House of Representatives before the end of legislative session on Wednesday.”The question that came to my mind is: Who is my child? Every single child in Georgia. Every single one. Without exception. Not just my own. Not just the ones that I gave birth to,” Georgia State Rep. Anne Allen Westbrook said while discussing the state’s Senate Bill 233.School choice advocate Corey DeAngelis posted the clip to Twitter, where users weighed in on Westbrook’s take.”Does she even understand how creepy this is?” Rep. Nick Freitas, R., a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, commented.Another user joked, “Her child support payment must be ENORMOUS.””These people don’t understand the difference between advocating and actually being the parent,” a third said.Others criticized Westbrook for allegedly touting a Marxist concept that the state supersedes parents, a common criticism among parental rights advocates that swept school board races last year and continue to push to make their voices heard now.
