When was the last time Democrats supported parental rights? How many decades ago? How do Democrats regain parental rights as an issue when they keep saying that the government owns the kids?
How do they regain parental rights as an issue when they do not want parents anywhere schools. when they do not want to tell parents what the curriculum is, when they tell kids to not tell their parents what happens in schools, when they help kids pretend to be the other gender, and so forth?
Liberals try to reclaim ‘parents’ rights’ from conservatives in education
In the raging culture wars, conservative parents jumped out first with a robust agenda built around the defense of “parents’ rights.”
It’s not really an agenda. It’s simply Conservatives caring about their children and wanting involvement, and there are plenty of average Democrats who feel the same, namely that the government doesn’t own the kids.
Now, seeking to apply some countervailing pressure, groups are coalescing on the left to resist conservative efforts to remove books from schools, end student LGBTQ clubs and restrict classroom discussions of race and gender. Experts and advocates say the progressives — some forming groups nationally and others in states and local communities — increasingly are in a strong position to push back.
Liberal groups with names such as “Stop Moms for Liberty” are campaigning for like-minded school board candidates, lobbying legislators and training parents to show up at school board meetings. They host Zooms and Facebook pages where parents can commiserate and strategize.
How exactly is the reclaiming parental rights as an issue?

Let me summarize: Democrats are essentially attempting to win local elections and train leftist moms to fight back
In the meantime, many groups are working to train like-minded parents to attend and speak at school board meetings, something conservative groups have been doing since the height of the pandemic. To face them, Red, Wine and Blue has put more than 11,000 people through one-hour “troublemaker trainings.”
This spring in North Carolina, a group called HEAL Together held its first two sessions teaching parents to speak at school board meetings and track school board activity. They drew a combined 160 people from 32 out of the state’s 100 counties, and another 160 are registered for a training this week. They hope to train at least two people from each county this year.
And how is this parental rights, when they’re training them to empower government to keep parents out of everything educations?
The organization also promotes a pledge asking political candidates and elected officials to protect “our public schools, our children, and our country” by defending the “civil rights of [everyone] regardless of race, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, or anything else.”
In other words, they really are just pushing the same old same old
A year-old group with the unsubtle name Stop Moms for Liberty encourages its members to review school board agendas and track board votes. When they find decisions they believe will prove unpopular or controversial, they post on social media, contact reporters and notify advocates such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the NAACP, said founder Liz Mikitarian. The group also provides resources for members interested in running for school board themselves. And it hopes to send 50 to 60 people to protest the upcoming Moms for Liberty gathering in Philadelphia.
They’re trying to stop Moms For Liberty, a group pushing parental rights in education. Was the headline of the piece supposed to be a joke?
