Nalin Haley, son of Nikki Haley, slammed Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday, accusing him of endorsing “third-world parenting” through his education overhaul and calling him a “creep” who “should not be near any child.”

Reacting to Ramaswamy’s proposals on X, Nalin wrote: “This creep should not be near any child, and we absolutely can’t have his third world parenting style imposed on American kids.”

Ramaswamy, who is running for governor of Ohio in 2026, recently outlined his vision for transforming public education in the state, a plan he argues is necessary because the current system is failing students.

Ramaswamy’s proposed reforms

Ramaswamy has advocated keeping schools open year-round, extending the school day to 4 pm instead of 3 pm, and easing childcare burdens on working families.

He has also called for boosting academic standards by restoring the third-grade reading guarantee, expanding phonics-based instruction, linking teacher compensation to performance, broadening school-choice opportunities, and removing what he describes as “ideological content” from classrooms.

He says US students continue to struggle with reading and math and that his plan is an urgent response to a “broken system.”

‘Are you trying to save your mom’s career?’

Netizens stepped inand poured their opinion on the post. A user noted on X, “Nikki, you better school your child.” Another added, This guy needs a hard lesson. He’s rushing to prove that he’s ‘more American’ than even white Americans, but soon he’s going to fall flat on his face. No matter how hard he tries, white will still see him as an Indian, and now Indians will see him as anti-Indian.”

“Deport both of them,” claimed a user. “Dude’s still butt hurt because Vivek absolutely cooked his mom on stage. Now he’s out here puffing his chest, playing tough guy protector. Full on Joffrey Baratheon energy, spoiled little prince throwing a tantrum for mommy,” added a netizen.

“What a good son still are you trying to save your mom’s career?,”joked another.
