Education hasn't been a top priority issue for voters on election days in the past, but House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said in an interview “it's completely different now."
"The center of the universe has changed, where parents recognize that who you elect from the school board level to the governor to the president, can determine whether you have the ability to have a direct say in your kids' education," said Scalise, the No. 2 in the House GOP.
Parents have a right to be involved in their children's education, he said.
"It seems like a lot of liberals and teachers unions are trying to push parents out of the school board meetings, and frankly, out of the classroom," Scalise added.

Insider interviews with the Lousianna lawmaker & 15 other Republicans on Capitol Hill suggest they're sharpening lines of attack on education culture wars, pitting Democrats, teachers unions, and even the DOJ against parents who want to be involved in their children's education.
