Are Oklahoma parents really 'ignorant and stupid 80 percent of the time'?

Jonathan Gruber, an Obamacare booster who has repeatedly mocked the American people for their alleged stupidity, testified before Congress today. Unfortunately, he's not the only Democrat who has evinced contempt for we the sheeple.

I wrote in 2010 about a Democratic state lawmaker in Oklahoma who wants politicians and bureaucrats — not parents — to choose schools for children. As he put it, parents "may think they know what's best, but do they?" And yesterday on Twitter, a Democratic political consultant in Oklahoma was similarly forthright with his antipathy to parental choice.

@brandondutcher because Oklahoma parents are ignorant and stupid 80 percent of the time.

I disagree. And I continue to believe that Oklahoma parents have the right and the responsibility to choose schools for their children.
