What is “Moms for Liberty” All About – A Somewhat Sarcastic Perspective

Posted on by

Since Moms for Liberty seen unable to control their own children, they want to control yours.

Here in North Carolina, we hear about “Mom’s for Liberty” a lot. They are coming to the State Legislature and running for school boards so they can protect children in our schools from dirty books, drag queens and exposure to LGBTQ people.

Their official statement is, “We are dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government.”

But which parents are they empowering to defend their parental rights? Many parents want their children in schools to learn be open minded and respect people of all genders and sexual orientations. Don’t those parents have rights too?

So let’s dig deeper into two areas.

First, they want bunches of books removed from school libraries. So what they are saying is that as parents, they cannot manage their own children. If a parent does not want their 11th grader to read “Lawn Boy” (see my blog about this delightful book), all they need to do is tell their kid not to take it out of the library. Why should kids whose parents want their teens to read such books be punished because a Mom for Liberty has no control over her kids?

I would rather my kids be exposed to fun, creative, inclusive drag queens than hateful President Trump.

Second, they want to make sure their kids are not exposed to drag queens. Drag queens are fun, creative, and they share stories of everyone being included and accepted. But what do Moms for Liberty want instead of drag queens? Their role model is Donald Trump! So they are fine with their daughters getting their private parts grabbed because Trump does it. And their sons should feel free to grab any girl’s vagina he fancies and mock people with disabilities so they can become more like President Trump who was sent by God to rescue our wonderful country from transgender people and immigrants.

Bottom line: Moms for Liberty have no control over their kids, so they want to trample upon everyone else’s liberties so their kids can become the same hateful homophobic racist bigots that they are.

Postscipt: The Southern Poverty Law Center has deemed Moms for Liberty as an “anti-government hate group.”
