[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WyneJYa7j0qS/en/virginia-foxx-criticizes-teacher-in-reply-to-student-s-electric-car-essay?t=79) Foxx cited six articles from news organizations such as Fox News and Wall Street Journal, but towards the end of her response, she attacked Christian's teacher Ask your teacher to explain propaganda to you.

[1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/WyneJYa7j0qS/en/virginia-foxx-criticizes-teacher-in-reply-to-student-s-electric-car-essay?t=107) How sad. After Christian's mother explained to him what Foxx's response meant, the 10-year-old says he's upset Foxx went after his teacher when Christian was the one who chose the topic of his essay I think that was wrong.
