Megyn Kelly has been plainspoken about how she raises her children: values first, politics kept out of the family dinner table. She argues that parents should inoculate their kids against the leftist ideas seeping into schools and culture, and that firm, value-driven parenting is the antidote to woke indoctrination.
Kelly has openly said she pulled her kids from certain New York City private schools after they “went hard left,” citing programs and curricula rooted in social justice experiments that she believes are inappropriate for young children. She detailed episodes like an alleged experimental trans education program for third-graders and other classroom initiatives that pushed political activism rather than basic learning.
She also refuses to let social media and woke campuses corrode her children’s worldview, keeping them off platforms like TikTok and coaching them not to hand over their identity through pronouns on command. That practical, no-nonsense approach to protecting kids from predatory cultural currents is exactly what conservative families should admire and emulate.
Of course the coastal elites and their media allies howl that Kelly is privileged or out of touch, but those attacks are a convenient distraction from the real issue: who gets to decide what our children are taught. The venom from outlets chasing clicks shows that the left knows it is losing the argument with actual parents who care about values more than virtue-signaling.
Kelly’s message at events like CPAC and on her show is simple and patriotic — shore up your children with faith, resilience, and truth before the schools try to shape them into activists. Conservatives should stop apologizing for insisting that childhood remain a time for learning fundamentals and character, not political training.
There is no shame in putting your children first and saying no to performative education that serves ideology instead of kids. If conservatives want to win the future, we must follow Kelly’s lead: reclaim our schools, demand parental rights, and teach our children to be proud, honest, and ready to build a strong America.
