Former US Presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s son, Nalin Haley, called Vivek Ramaswamy “creep” and accused him of proposing “third-world parenting” through his education reforms who “should not be near any child”.
In a post on X, Nalin said: “This creep should not be near any child, and we absolutely can’t have his third world parenting style imposed on American kids.”
He was reacting to Ramaswamy’s proposal to extend schools hours and introduce year-round schooling during his 2026 Ohio governor bid.
Ramaswamy has been promoting several reforms such as higher reading and maths standards, more phonics-based learning, performance-linked teacher pay and removing “ideological content” from classrooms.
In his post, Nalin Haley also attached a screenshot
of Ramaswamy’s 2022 post wherein he slammed the Republicans over naming of a legislation that prohibited sex education for children upto the third grade.

“Republicans should use more rhymes when naming their laws. Instead of ‘don’t say gay,’ they should’ve called it ‘wait until 8.’ As in, wait until kids turn 8 years old before public schools teach them about sex. That would have avoided a national fuss about nothing,” he said.
In 2022, Florida signed a bill forbidding instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through Grade 3. It was expanded later to all grades, with exceptions for health or reproductive courses.
Last year, responding to a lawsuit the Florida authorities said the law only restricts formal teaching on gender identity and sexual orientation.
Nalin Haley previously triggered discussion when he said naturalised US citizens should not be allowed to hold public office. He also called for strict limits on foreign students in American universities, claiming that some international students are “spies for foreign governments”.
