Will Bunch: Trump-DeSantis race to the bottom over schools is golden opportunity for Democrats

The most memorable words from last week's State of the Union hoedown arguably didn't come from an energized President Joe Biden but from his GOP rebutter, Arkansas' new governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She provided an unforgettable frame for the in-its-infancy 2024 president race — albeit maybe not in the way she intended.

"The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left," said Sanders, whose integrity was forever tarnished by her stint as Donald Trump's press secretary. "The choice is between normal or crazy."

Just a few seconds later, Sanders revealed to the nation where "crazy" is actually coming from, when she laid out her vision of what she and apparently millions of Republican voters believe happens when your schoolkid arrives for homeroom every morning. That, presumably, is when the leftists she blames for starting her culture war tell God-fearing Americans "we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags, and worship their false idols."
