Megyn Kelly is doing what every patriotic parent should do: teaching her children character, responsibility, and common sense instead of turning them into political props for the left. She’s made clear on her show and at public events that her priority is to impart values — not to indoctrinate her kids with partisan talking points — a stance that should be applauded by parents on both sides who want their children raised with dignity and strength.
When those values collided with what she described as “hard-left” curriculum in her kids’ schools, Kelly didn’t posture — she acted, withdrawing them after encountering lessons she found unacceptable, including what she called experimental gender instruction that belongs in the home with parents, not in third-grade classrooms. That kind of common-sense parental oversight is exactly what the culture war is about: who gets to shape our children’s minds, teachers or moms and dads.
At CPAC and on her program she’s urged parents to fight back — to inoculate their children against radical ideologies, limit exposure to social media, and refuse to hand over identity labels on command. Those recommendations are practical and patriotic: they preserve childhood and give families the chance to transmit truth and faith rather than letting the media and bureaucrats rewrite reality.
This is not some neutral parenting philosophy; it’s a frontline strategy in a battle for the future of our country. Conservatives should stop treating parenting as a private indulgence and recognize it as the most important civic duty we have. When moms and dads raise kids who love America, believe in God, and respect truth, we rebuild the institutions that keep this nation free.
The elites in education and the press want us passive and polite while they quietly reengineer our children’s worldview. That’s why Megyn’s refusal to let her family become another talking point hits a nerve: she refuses to cede the next generation to an ideological machine that profits from confusion and division. Americans must emulate that refusal — speak at school board meetings, choose alternatives when necessary, and stop pretending compromise with radicalism is a virtue.
If conservatives have a message for 2026, it should be simple and fierce: defend childhood, defend common sense, and defend the right of parents to decide what their kids learn. Megyn Kelly is setting a clear example by putting values before politics, and hardworking Americans should follow her lead rather than bowing to the cultural mandarins who would like nothing more than to raise a compliant, politicized cohort of children.
Our movement won’t be won in boardrooms or on cable panels alone; it will be won in kitchens and at kitchen tables where parents like Megyn decide their children will learn to be decent, industrious, and free. That is conservative power: quiet, everyday, relentless devotion to family and country — and no amount of media outrage will stop parents who finally decide to fight for their kids.
