The president also claimed that teachers have become a “target” of the culture war.

“Teaching is one of the hardest jobs in this country to be able to do it well, and one of the most important,” Biden said.

He continued, “Today, there are too many politicians trying to score political points, trying to ban books — even math books. I mean, did you ever think — even you younger teachers — did you ever think, when you’d be teaching, that you’d be worried about book burnings and banning books, all because it doesn’t fit somebody’s political agenda?”

Biden added, “American teachers have dedicated their lives to teaching our Children and lifting them up. We got to stop making them the target of the culture wars. That’s where this is going.”
