President Obama is planning to make a speech especially to public school students around the nation on Tuesday and, per the Times, some Republican parents don’t want their kids brainwashed by the socialist propaganda of their elected leader. All parents are notoriously evil and unjust, as we all well know, so this should come as no surprise. As further proof, we’ve rounded up 12 Crazy Conservative Movie Parents.

Mrs. Iselin (Angela Lansbury) in The Manchurian Candidate

Not just crazy and conservative, but evil and scheming to boot.

Russel Casse (Randy Quaid) in Independence Day

The alcoholic redneck who redeemed himself just in time to die a war hero.

Mr. Perry (Kurtwood Smith) in Dead Poets Society

Typical controlling dad.

Wilbur Turnblad (Jerry Stiller) in Hairspray

Sort of a non-presence in the film, he comes around eventually.

Mama (Kathy Bates) in The Waterboy

Mrs. Bates plays a swamp creature in a mu-mu beautifully.

Mrs. Bates (Anthony Perkins) in Psycho

Possibly the most evil movie parent ever, although…

Margaret White (Piper Laurie) in Carrie

Mandy Cohen (Terry Jones) in The Life of Brian

Jimmy’s Dad (Jim Backus) in Rebel Without a Cause

Mr. and Mrs. Libson (James Woods and Kathleen Turner) in The Virgin Suicides

Dr. Tower (Claude Rains) in Kings Row

Marietta Fortune (Diane Ladd) in Wild at Heart (warning, scene is, um, a little violent)

Special Bonus: DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince’s “Parents Just Don’t Understand”
