Kentucky GOP governor candidates sign anti-CRT pledge, following education lead by Noem, Youngkin
The three leading GOP candidates for governor in Kentucky are following in the footsteps of the successful campaigns of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin by signing an anti-critical race theory pledge related to public education policy.
“As a parent, you want the best for your child. And when you see something in your child’s education that concerns you, you have every right to speak up,” Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who is also running for governor in the state, told Fox News Digital.
Cameron is one of the three front-runners in the race for Kentucky’s GOP nomination for governor who signed on to 1776 Action’s “Parent Power Pledge,” joining former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft and former Agriculture Commissioner of Kentucky Ryan Quarles.
The Parent Power Pledge signed by the candidates has the goal of prioritize “learning, merit, transparency and civic pride” in education while giving parents the “final word” in anything that affects “the education, health and moral development of their children.”
The pledge is an expansion on a similar one made by Noem and Youngkin ahead of their successful campaigns for governor, which promised to “restore patriotic education” in schools.
Youngkin’s 2021 election victory came as a surprise to many observers after Virginia had trended increasingly toward Democrats in recent years, with Youngkin being the first GOP candidate to win an election since the successful 2010 campaign of Republican Bob McDonnell.
