<p>Former Education Secretary <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/betsy-devos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Betsy DeVos</a> tangled with the National Education Association on Twitter, arguing that parents were better equipped than anyone else to say what was best for their children.</p>
<p>The exchange began with the NEA — the largest labor union in the United States — claiming in a Saturday tweet that professional educators knew &#8220;better than anyone&#8221; what children needed in order to grow and learn.</p>
<p>&#8220;Educators love their students and know better than anyone what they need to learn and thrive,&#8221; the tweet claimed.</p>
<p>DeVos responded, &#8220;You misspelled parents.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">You misspelled parents. <a href="https://t.co/uMc9ozCUS7">https://t.co/uMc9ozCUS7</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Betsy DeVos (@BetsyDeVos) <a href="https://twitter.com/BetsyDeVos/status/1592169087794290694?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 14, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The union pushed back, claiming that their goal was for educators to work alongside parents in an effort to ensure that all students had the necessary &#8220;resources and opportunities&#8221; that would provide the best learning environment possible.</p>
<p>&#8220;Together, families and educators are an essential team for advocating for the resources and opportunities all students need,&#8221; they said before taking a direct swipe at DeVos. &#8220;Out-of-touch billionaires, however, are not.&#8221;</p>

<p>DeVos&#8217; comment appeared to strike the tone that has been echoed by the American people in recent elections, however, as a number of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/conservatives-flip-school-boards-in-wave-of-education-wins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school boards</a> were flipped to Republican control in Tuesday&#8217;s midterm election.</p>
<p>Parents became increasingly involved in school board meetings during and after the COVID pandemic, fighting back against COVID-related masking and lockdown policies as well as sounding the alarm about curriculum concerns after virtual learning brought some of the issues children were studying — quite literally — to the kitchen table.</p>
<p>Parents pushed back after the teachers unions fought to keep virtual learning in place long after it became apparent that it was doing more harm than good — particularly with regard to mental health — and in an effort to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/national-school-board-association-at-risk-of-total-collapse-following-letter-comparing-parents-to-domestic-terrorists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shut down parental protests</a>, the National School Board Association called on the United States Justice Department to treat parents who attended meetings as thought they were &#8220;domestic terrorists.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reclaiming parental voices in education was not just a winning issue for school board candidates, either — Republican Virginia Governor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/glenn-youngkin-outlines-his-plan-to-make-virginias-education-system-number-one-in-nation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glenn Youngkin</a> rode to victory, in part, on the wave of anger inspired by Democrat <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/democrat-terry-mcauliffe-i-dont-think-parents-should-be-telling-schools-what-they-should-teach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Terry McAuliffe&#8217;s</a> claim that parents had no right to weigh in on the curriculum being taught in their children&#8217;s schools. Similarly, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis&#8217; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/does-it-say-that-in-the-bill-ron-desantis-rebukes-reporter-for-pushing-dont-say-gay-narrative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parental Rights in Education law</a> gave him a boost ahead of his reelection.</p>
