I said it before. I don't give a fuck about Moms for liberty.
But the left's process for making anyone a pariah for holding positions against them is pretty rich.
Equally rich is the level of denial in the echochamber here.
Let's see their extremist positions shall we?
1. Moms for Liberty and its nationwide chapters combat what they consider the "woke indoctrination" of children by advocating for book bans in school libraries.
Book banning IS extremist.
2. "Gender dysphoria is a mental health disorder that is being normalized by predators across the USA. California kids are at extreme risk from predatory adults. Now they want to ‘liberate’ children all over the country. Does a double mastectomy on a preteen sound like progress?"
— Tweet from Moms for Liberty on July 25, 2022, tweet regarding California SB 107 gender transition bill that got their account suspended.
So opposing established medical standards IS extremist.
3. "If I had any mental issues, they would have been plowed down with a gun by now."
— Melissa “Missy” Bosch (Lonoke County, AR Chapter) was indicted for terroristic threatening towards the faculty and staff of Cabot School district. She was recorded musing about gunning down a school librarian.
Advocating murder IS extremist.
4. "We’ve got $500 for the person that first successfully catches a public school teacher breaking this law. Student, parents, teachers, school staff…We want to know! We pledge anonymity if you want."
— Tweeted by Moms for Liberty NH on November 12, 2021, regarding the law banning the teaching of CRT and retweeted by national Moms for Liberty.
CRT isn't even taught outside of a very specific college course. So getting parents to rat out teachers over a fucking fantasy IS extremist. What CRT is code for among the right-wing klan is ANY education that teaches the reality of historic and current racism in the US. In effect, they are attempting to segregate and marginalize blacks, just as they are gay and lesbian students.
5. “The kids that do have their, you know, they’re confused, or they are gay or whatnot that the way they’re trying to go about it is to make it an open conversation and an open thing in classrooms…But like for example children with autism, Down Syndrome, they have to have special IP meetings with a counselor, they have to be put into separate classrooms. I understand, because it’s a different type of education for children with those disabilities, but I think that for children that identify differently, there should also be like a specialized… something for them, so that they feel that they’re important enough that they’re being counseled…I think for the same reason why teachers wouldn’t just bring a child with autism in front of the class and be like, hey, he’s got autism. Embarrassment…”
— Crystal Alonso (member of Moms for Liberty, Miami-Dade County, FL) discussing the need for special classes for LGBTQ students
Advocating the segregation of LGBTQ students IS extremist.
6. Extremist is a nutshell: Anti-science, anti-gay, anti-equality, and intentionally trying to paint any education about racism as "CRT."
Moms for Liberty was originally established to combat what it considered controversial COVID-19 safety measures in schools, mostly centered around masking. From there, it quickly expanded its focus to include an extreme stance on what it considers the indoctrination and sexualization of children through gender identity, the acknowledgement and acceptance of the LGBTQ community, as well as inclusive school pedagogy and curricula, including critical race theory, social emotional learning, and books that the organization deems inappropriate.
Just fuck all the way off. You're so far down the right-wing conspiracy driven rabbit hole you don't even recognize extremism when you see it. Why? Because you're an extremist too. It's been normalized for you.
There is a reason they are called Klanned Karenhood.
