Left-Wing Activists May Try to Take On Moms for Liberty Group in Tennessee

 

The Washington Post published an article this week that focused on Tennessee and said liberal mothers will attend more public-school board meetings to speak out against and attempt to defeat conservative groups like Moms for Liberty.

The newspaper said these “Blue suburban moms” are mobilizing. The report also said those mothers are about to go on offense against anyone who attends public school board meetings to speak out against Critical Race Theory (CRT) and COVID-19 masks.

The Washington Post described conservative parents who attended one Williamson County Board of Education meeting as having the capacity to outmaneuver political opponents while they displayed “well organized and aggressive” behavior. The article went on to say that opponents of COVID-19 masks and CRT in public schools promote controversy and want political power — but they don’t represent the views of most parents.

Left-leaning mothers belong to groups such as Red Wine and Blue. They also belong to another group, Support Our Schools. These mothers, The Washington Post went on to say, will “show up at meetings with fact-based speeches ready” and “avoid using the divisive language of their opponents.” They will also refer to CRT as “culturally responsive instruction.”

The Tennessee Star’s attempts to get a comment from the Williamson County-based Moms for Liberty were unsuccessful before press time Friday.

Moms for Liberty Williamson County (ML-WC) President Robin Steenman said last month that she would refile a complaint that Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) Commissioner Penny Schwinn rejected last November.

Steenman complained about the Williamson County School System’s Wit and Wisdom curriculum, which she said perpetuates CRT.

Schwinn rejected Steenman’s complaint last fall because she said those allegations pertain to events that transpired during the 2020-2021 school year.

Members of the Tennessee General Assembly last year passed a bill effectively banning CRT from K-12 education.

Steenman, however, said the TDOE has a moral responsibility to act because the curriculum is “divisive, dark, and not age-appropriate.”

    “show up at meetings with fact-based speeches ready” – Isn’t facts and liberalism an oxymoron? What the Left calls facts are nothing more than passionate opinions that are being parroted from something they heard on NPR, CNN, and other fake news groups.

    The bird cage liner Washington Post along with the leftist commie liberals moms do not realize yet who they are dealing with. The Democrats will lose the 2022 election if for no other reason than the moms. As the saying goes do not mess with a Mama bear and her cubs and the Democrats leftist have and it is a huge mistake, to stir a moms anger protecting her child goes way past these leftist and their stupid Democratic Commie politics.
