President Joe Biden has faced criticism from social media users after he repeated the line “There’s no such thing as someone else’s child” during a White House event on Monday. The President spoke at the National and State Teacher of the Year Celebration and praised the award recipient, Oklahoma high school teacher Rebekah Peterson. Biden quoted Peterson, agreeing with her statement that “there is no such thing as someone else’s child.”
During his speech, Biden said, “Rebecca put a teacher’s creed into words when she said, ‘There is no such thing as someone else’s child.’ No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children.”
The President added, “As I often say, you teachers hold the kite strings to lift our national ambitions aloft. You really do. Imagine. Imagine. Just imagine if we didn’t have great teachers in this country. What difficulty. You are determining our future.”
Following the event, social media users expressed shock at the President’s comment, with some showing concern that a political leader had stated that children belong to the nation. Stephen Miller, a contributing editor at The Spectator, tweeted, “Please run on that one. ‘Our nation’s children are all ou[r] children and that’s why your daughter goes by Ralph now and ze/zer/xtey pronouns. Sorry.'”

Just another word salad by the democrat nominee for President. Only his Doctor wife, Jill, can make heads or tails of what he’s spewing forth.
What Joe is trying to say is that it’s not your child. You can murder your baby whenever you feel like it. If your State doesn’t allow it, just come to New York and Kathy Hochul and Letitia James will gladly sponsor it, using the dumb stupid gullible obedient taxpayers money.
Similar to Hilary’s socialist lie: “It takes a village to raise a child.”
The resident Democrat propagandists are awful quiet at this one. See what Biden is doing here is espousing Marxist ideology that the Democrats wouldn’t actually say out loud until now.
why dont you all give it a rest already.
he is our president, not that lobus trump.
a little respect would help.
he sends tons of arms to israel, not good enough for you?
feh
Joe is our leader. He is a uniter
yechiell,
One of the greatest privileges of living in this country is that we can call out the brainless, incontinent occupant of the oval office when he babbles on incoherently. Just as we can call you out when you do so. It’s called free speech, which you liberal, Karen, snowflakes only care about when you want to spout off.
If you can’t handle it, why don’t you buy a one-way ticket to Iran and hopefully they’ll give you a free crane ride.
Are you talking about joe the head of the Biden crime family.
If my child was Hunter Biden, I’d also be looking to appropriate others’ children.
His comment sounds to me like a very nice comment- that a teacher should treat all of the students like they are their own children and really care for them. We have become so childish that we twist the words of anyone we disagree with. This will not change so best to ignore all this nonsense.
so will he support legislation to prohibit the product of eunuchs?
YITZCHOK2 is correct. Any other understanding is a pathetic twisting of the message here. How one can understand it otherwise boggles my mind.
Wait a minute,
My children are Biden’s children?
Where are the millions from my surrogates from China
I want in!
I do believe now this man could have murdered his wife in this car crash that brought him him. Hashem is telling and showing. Separate from America. We Jews do not need or desire this filth in our world
I guess כל ישראל ערבים זה לזה is also socialist or is it marxist???
The vitriol and hate displayed by ostensibly religious Jews on this site, is deplorable.
The fact that sane people are pushing back against the democrat Marxist agenda that includes having the final say as to how parents may or may not raise their children is neither vitriol nor hate! The delusion and ignorance displayed by the ostensibly religious leftist Jews on this site is deplorable. And the dinim of עריבות have NOTHING to do with the Biden/ democrat agenda of forcefully fostering woke gender perversion on a free society. Consider learning some Halacha before spouting off divrei chazal completely out of context. You’re an embarrassment.
Exactly what chassidus do you belong to?
I interpret Biden’s comment more narrowly than many of the other commenters. He is simply saying that is in the interests of a society, whether as small as the frum community of Brooklyn or as large as the US, to see that every child has some minimal level of support, not that government (local, state or national) should intervene in every child-rearing decision.
Compare this to DeSantis, who wants to second-guess, e.g., how a parent should raise a child with an uncommon sexual orientation.
huju,
Of course you do. In reality, your woke coreligionists, especially in the teacher’s unions want all children to be indoctrinated in what they insist are “common orientations” and DeSantis has blocked this.
Please elaborate as to why you are so fixated on these orientations as it seems very personal to you.
“Interpret” being the operative word. Denial is not just a river…
Inexplicably, the incidents of uncommon orientation have completely sky-rocketed under democrat woke culture. Could this be learned behavior taught to the youngest of children in public school classrooms across the nation? Hmm. But don’t worry – hopefully Biden will come for your kids last.
