President Joe Biden is facing harsh criticism for comments he made about the “nation’s children.”

During an event at the White House on Monday, Biden said, “Rebecca put a teacher’s creed into words when she said, ‘There is no such thing as someone else’s child.’ No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children.”

“As I often say, you teachers hold the kite strings to lift our national ambitions aloft. You really do. Imagine. Imagine. Just imagine if we didn’t have great teachers in this country. What difficulty. You are determining our future,” he added.

It did not take long for reactions to pour in.

The account for “Moms for Liberty” tweeted a graphic in response that stated, “We do NOT CO-PARENT with the GOVERNMENT.”

“Your kids belong to you. They don’t belong to the government, and thank God they don’t belong to Joe Biden. Positions like this on the left are why I’m fighting in Congress to protect parental rights in education,” wrote Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio).

Biden did not claim children belong to the state. But his statement is an awkward phrase reminiscent of other liberals who have called for greater community involvement in helping take care of children.

Former MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry said in a 2016 commercial, “We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we’ve always had kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven’t had a very collective notion of these are our children.”

“So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities,” she added.

Of course, as conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg pointed out, “If I fail to feed and clothe a child that I’ve never met that lives 50 miles from me, child services will not visit my house.”

It is one thing to encourage teachers to ensure they are giving children the best education they can receive. But, children do not belong to the community. And there is not some inherent responsibility for others to start sticking their fingers in other parents’ methods of raising or caring for their own children unsolicited.
