Rep. Virginia Foxx, 82, wrote a letter to a North Carolina fourth grader WHO had submitted a classroom essay supporting electric vehicle tax credits. In her reply Foxx told the 10-year-old to "learn what propaganda means" and criticized the essay's support for EV incentives. The student's mother in Greensboro called Foxx's response "horrific." The exchange raises questions about how elected officials engage with students and the partisan framing of climate policy in classrooms.
