"Foxx wrote Christian in reply. “What many folks do not realize is that the money that comes from the federal government actually comes from ordinary citizens who pay taxes to support that government. Therefore, your request that the federal government should give a $5,000 tax rebate for all new electric car purchases means that the federal government must take that money out of the pockets of hardworking people who may not have the means to buy an electric vehicle in the first place.”"
"“Please ask your teacher to explain propaganda to you,” Foxx continued. “My guess is that your teachers will not give you a good educational experience and help you learn to think as they are too interested in indoctrinating you.”"
"Emily Mango called the congresswoman's letter horrific. “Reprehensible response,” she said on Facebook, addressing Foxx. “You crossed a line when you attacked a child and attacked teachers. You don't deserve to be on a Committee for Education when you talk to children like this and think so lowly of teachers.”"
"Christian told Fox 8 he did not entirely understand Foxx's response, but when his mother explained it to him, he said he was upset. “I think that was wrong,” he said, “because the school didn't do anything.”"
A fourth grader wrote to Rep. Virginia Foxx after being assigned a persuasive essay by a teacher. The child asked Foxx to support $5,000 rebates for new electric vehicle purchases. Foxx replied that federal money comes from taxpayers and that such rebates would take money from hardworking people who may not be able to buy electric cars. She also told the student to ask his teacher to explain propaganda and suggested teachers were more interested in indoctrinating than educating. The child’s mother condemned the response as horrific and criticized Foxx for attacking a child and teachers. The student said he was upset after his mother explained the reply.
