Critics slammed President Biden Monday after he said that the children of all parents in the country belonged to everyone and not just to their families.

There is no such thing a child of someone else. There is no such thing as another’s child. Biden quoted a former educator during his speech at the White House Rose Garden to honor the 2023 National and State Teachers of the Year.

On social media, both politicians and parents criticized his statement. They blasted him for suggesting that the state and political left owned the children in the country.

One critic said, “This is the Hillary Clinton, It Takes a Village nonsense,” referring to former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s controversial book, It Takes a Village, which was highly scrutinized.

“As Senator Bob Dole stated in 1996, it doesn’t take an entire village to raise a kid. They added, “It takes a village to raise a kid.”

The left believes that they own your children, according to Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.). 1776 Project PAC is a group working to elect candidates who oppose the teaching of “woken” subjects in school.

Hunter is on you, wrote another critic, mocking Biden’s son Hunter who has struggled with drug addiction and currently faces federal investigation.

Moms for Liberty, a group of parental rights advocates, said that “we do not co-parent with the GOVERNMENT”, while Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) wrote that Biden’s comments spoke for themselves.

Roy continued, “This is the reason [Rep. Thomas Massie R-Ky.] introduced amendments last year to abolish the Department of Education, and to give block grants to the states, if not that.”

Biden’s remarks were reminiscent of Clinton’s “village”, but also of an MSNBC 2016 commercial in which a liberal ex-host called for collective care to be taken of children within a community, rather than parents caring for their own kids.

“We’ve never invested as much as we should in public education because we have always had a kind of private conception of children. You are responsible for your child. Melissa Harris-Perry, in a commercial for “Lean Forward”, a liberal campaign at the time, said: “We haven’t really had a collective idea that these are our kids.”

She said that we must break the idea that children belong only to their parents or families and realize that they belong to the whole community.
