Take it One Step Further: Decoding Parents’ Rights

Aug 24, 2023 | Easy A, Parents’ Rights

Ok, now that you have a good idea of what extremists really mean when they are yelling about “parents’ rights”, are you ready to take it one step further? We’ve got a new–and super easy–action for you.

Sign this petition right now to tell mainstream media like ABC, NBC, and Fox News that extremist groups like Moms for Liberty do not speak for you. Remind them that regular American parents like you and me don’t support banning books, eliminating sex education, or whitewashing American history. We want our public school teachers to have the resources they need to make sure our kids are learning what they need to know to prepare them for the future.
