Moms for Liberty: Creepy Political Book Banning Mob

<b>What a Creep</b><br /><b>Season 20, Episode 2</b><br /><b>Moms for Liberty</b><br /><b><br /></b>In the United States, there’s a resurgence of book banning and preventing the teaching about race, slavery, LGBTQ+ people, and history. This is the result of a certain kind of parent group that loves to talk about “parental rights” but not your parental rights. If you have a gender-nonconforming child, an immunocompromised child, a child with special needs, or a child that isn’t straight and white, no one cares about your parental rights. This is about parents of straight white children.<br /><br />It’s time to discuss Moms for Liberty, a supposed nonprofit organization focusing on parental rights. They pretend to be a grassroots organization but have strong ties to high-ranking elected officials and national anti-LGBTQ groups.<br />Sources for this episode: <b><br /></b><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/far-right-group-wants-to-ban-kids-from-reading-books-on-male-seahorses-galileo-and-martin-luther-king-jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Daily Beast</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/moms-for-liberty-leader-allegedly-hijacked-dead-womans-facebook-page-to-harass-foes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Daily Beast</a></li><li><a href="https://www.glaad.org/gap/moms-liberty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GLAAD</a></li><li><a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/critical-race-theory/unmasking-moms-liberty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Media Matters</a></li><li><a href="https://www.momsforliberty.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mom for Liberty</a></li><li><a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/08/the-most-powerful-moms-in-america-are-the-new-face-of-the-republican-party/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mother Jones</a></li><li><a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/166373/moms-liberty-schools-nightmare-midterms" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Republic</a></li><li><a href="ht
