Mr. Christie, who announced the presidential election campaign, said, “Even in our country, there is a big debate over the fact that parents are excluded from their children’s education choices, and as a conservative Republican, parents decide the choices for their children’s education.

In Florida and Wisconsin, parents sued school districts over efforts to transition children without their knowledge. A 12-year-old girl in Florida attempted to commit suicide while authorities were making the transition without her parents’ knowledge, Fox News reported. report.
“Many people now expect politicians to take the lead and say enough of this stuff and clinics like this across America. We received them at places like the Tavistock Clinic in the UK where amputations are done,” Morgan told Christie. “Isn’t it the duty of a politician like you who wants to be president to say, ‘Enough is enough?’ Will we protect our children?”
“It is the duty of the politicians to deal with the other issues, and leave these issues to the parents. My view is that when there is war in Eastern Europe, there will be inflation that will bankrupt the people of this country. When education levels drop from the basement, when there are borders we can’t defend and immigration systems we can’t fix, then no, I don’t think that’s what we should do,” Christie said. said. “Before the government substitutes the judgment of parents, let the government do what it should do first.”
