As the husband, a father, and as a grandfather, I wholeheartedly believe in parents’ involvement in their children’s education. Parents are the primary educators of children, the home is the first classroom, and nothing will play a greater role than education in shaping the rest of their lives. 

But that's not how the Biden administration sees things. The President and Attorney General of the United States are now weaponizing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to go after parents that oppose the Far-Left Socialist agenda he is attempting to impose on America's children.

On Monday, October 4th, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that they would direct the FBI to investigate "threats of violence" at school board meetings. The DOJ’s announcement came just days after the National School Board Association (NSBA) wrote a letter to the Biden administration asking them to treat parent protests at school board meetings as possible acts of "domestic terrorism."

The union also claimed that some of the "threats" to school boards involved reports that critical race theory (CRT) was being proliferated in classrooms, which is called "propaganda"- it's not. NSBA even asked the administration to use the PATRIOT Act to target parents and treat them as terrorists.

Parents who don't want CRT being taught to their children are not domestic terrorists. They are concerned parents - and they have every right to be. Critical race theory is not history. It's a pernicious ideological agenda meant to divide us by the color of our skin. Parents ARE the final word in their child's education, not unaccountable federal bureaucrats or woke Teachers Unions.

Make no mistake about it, this is an unconstitutional, un-American assault on YOUR First Amendment rights.

Democrats are determined to control every aspect of American life from birth until the grave, and our public schools are no exception. I adamantly disagree. Parents should have THE final say in their children's education, and they should be empowered to hold schools accountable for what and how they teach.

Rest assured, I will continue to fight to protect parents’ rights to raise their children as well as everyone’s First Amendment rights to speak, peaceably assemble AND petition their government. That’s what I believe it; that’s what you deserve from me.

Monday, October 2, 2021:  After spending the weekend in Austin, TX, where I had the honor of speaking at the Worldlink Academy Symposium, a healthcare-based training program that gives evidence-based training on hormone replacement and wellness, I’m on the road to Brunswick in Glynn County this morning. Once at our Brunswick district office, I join in on our all-staff conference call and afterwards have a call with Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) Executive Commissioner of the Office of Trade (OT), AnneMarie Highsmith, to discuss a very important trade issue impacting a company in our district. Although the company is not directly involved in the dispute, it is having a very damaging effect on the company since they are unable to get the product that they desperately need. The net effect on the company is potentially a loss of jobs as well as not being able to provide food products for school lunches and Department of Defense personnel. Next, I have a great meeting with my good friend, Clint Day, as we discuss a number of issues impacting our district. Once back in our Brunswick office, I meet with representatives from the Association Builders and Contractors of Georgia as they present me with an Eagle Award as acknowledgement of my support of their issues. ass company with world class personnel, set the stage for the future of aviation.  

After a great meeting with a veteran who has recently re-located to our area, I meet with another veteran who shares with me information on the use of thorium as an energy source. Next, I head back to Savannah and Chatham County where I meet with the Chatham County Conservative Coalition, a group of conservative organizations in Chatham County that are pooling their resources in order to work toward common goals.

Tuesday, October 5, 2021: I’m in our Savannah district office this morning as I meet with the Chairwoman of Hispanic Outreach and Leadership and Advocacy (HOLA) Savannah, Myriam Baker, to discuss issues impacting the Hispanic community in Savannah. After a great meeting, I record a video for “United for Charitable Assistance,” a coalition of patients, families and non-profit organizations committed to protecting non-profit charitable assistance for people living with rare, chronic, and life-threatening conditions.

Afterward, I head to Liberty County where I am honored to speak to the Hinesville Rotary at their weekly meeting. After bringing them up to date on issues in Washington, I head to Atlanta where I join a group in welcoming to Georgia, former White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who is a candidate for Governor of Arkansas.

Friday, October 8, 2021: I’m glad to be back meeting with the Band of Brothers in Garden City this morning where we are led in our Bible study by Rev. Kenny Grant. Afterward, I head to our Savannah District office where I meet with University of Georgia (UGA) Small Business Area Director Becky Brownlee who brings me up to date on the great work they are doing in our district and throughout the State of Georgia.

Afterward, I have a virtual interview on Fox Business with Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street to discuss oil prices and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) spying. A link to my interview can be found here. Next, I meet with a group of employees from a local manufacturing company to discuss the Biden Administrations' vaccine mandate before having a virtual call with Ro Pharmacy to discuss transparent pricing. Afterward, I head to a meeting with Patrick Sidhu, owner of the Burger King franchises in our area at his newly renovated restaurant on White Bluff Road in Savannah. Like all of the businesses in our district, they are struggling to find associates and trying to figure out how to deal with the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate.

Later in the afternoon, I visit with WSAV TV President and General Manager Marc Hefner to discuss issues impacting the local news media. While still at the station, I have an on-camera interview with one of Savannah’s premier news anchors, Tina Tyus-Shaw, as we discuss the debt ceiling and other news of the day.
