Parents Against Propaganda: Hungary’s Example
A statue of Karl Marx is seen in the building of the Corvinus University in Budapest, Hungary, on Sept. 4, 2014. The 'Corvinus' was renamed in 1953 as Karl Marx University, and it was a base of the country's Marxist intellectual elite in the socialist era. Attila Kisbenedek/AFP/Getty Images

Commentary

While the recent victory of Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin in Virginia is a significant setback to those who are advocating for the introduction of critical race theory and other leftist curricula in schools, it’s by no means a definitive defeat of these forces. Youngkin only won by 65,000 votes, and the districts that had the most notable cases of radicalized school boards—such as my hometown in Loudoun County—still voted for the candidate who believed that parents shouldn’t have a say in schools.
