"Moms for Liberty" sounds like a "One Million Moms" reboot once they realized the old name didn't make sense with only 5 or 10 thousand members. That'd take some self-awareness though.

I hate these organization say we are for "Parent Rights" no they are for censorship. If you are a parent and down want your kids to read or see certain things then you are responsible for doing that, not making everyone do that for you.

Yeah but you get zero publicity and funding for parenting at home... when you get both when you are doing on teevee and social media...

And it'll only be a matter of time before conservative candidates will have to kowtow to these dangerous busybodies.

"Mr. President, there's a group of bored, angry, middle aged white women out here wanting to speak to the manager."

They already do. At least three candidates went to speak at their "convention" and told them how great they were.

I didn’t used to bother with school board elections, but I’ve made a point of voting for all of these in the last several years on account of crazies like these.

We have to now. They used to be boring elections with (mostly) people who wanted to make schools better. Now there are big money PACs trying to destroy schools by getting these crazies elected.

Schools can raise debt and these clowns figured that this is route for corruption has not been properly exploited quite yet.
