Audio has surfaced of JD Vance expressing discomfort with teachers who do not have biological children, suggesting they 'disorient and really disturb' him. This remark was made during a 2021 forum hosted by the Center for Christian Virtue, where Vance criticized American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten for 'brainwashing' children. The audio, unearthed by the Kamala Harris campaign, has sparked controversy, with some interpreting Vance's comments as an attack on teachers without biological children. Vance's remarks have been defended by some as criticism of leftist indoctrination in education.
