A librarian at a school in Tennessee is in shock after being targeted by right-wing parents for creating a Mother’s Day lesson that they say indoctrinates children into Leninist ideologies.
As the Washington Post’s Greg Sargent writes, the group “Moms for Liberty” recently came down hard on Caroline Mickey of the Alpine Crest Elementary School after she tried to make an inclusive Mother’s Day lesson that acknowledged not every child in the school lived with a mother in the traditional sense of the word.
“Micky notified parents that two books would be read aloud to kids from kindergarten through second grade,” writes Sargent. “One was ‘Stella Brings the Family,’ about a girl who is unsure how to approach a Mother’s Day celebration at school because she had two dads. The other was ‘Mother Bruce,’ about a bear who adopts a brood of goslings who believe he’s their mother.”
Even though Mickey gave parents the chance to opt their children out of the lesson, this was not enough to satisfy Moms for Liberty members, who demanded that the school cancel it entirely.
“Members of its chapter in the red-leaning area around the school in Hamilton County attacked the idea on social media and in local newspaper as Leninist indoctrination, anti-Christian and a threat to Western civilization,” writes Sargent. “One woman called on locals to pray for children to guard them against the demonic threat posed by those children’s books.”
In the end, they were about to pressure to school board to cancel the lesson, which left Mickey feeling overwhelmed.
Now for my two cents.
Are they crazy? It wasn’t good enough that they were able to opt out if they thought it was so offensive, but no, they want to stop everyone to do the same. If it’s about protecting their children, just keep them at home, but don’t make children that doesn’t have a mother for one reason or another or two dads feel bad about themselves. The children from families that are not traditional mother and father are probably the only family they know. To them two fathers are the normal family to them. As far as no mother at all, maybe the mother was killed in a car accident, or died of a ailment, or divorce and the children live with the father. What’s important is making the children feel good about themselves no matter what type of family the live in.
The idea of them deciding to put out ads, attack people on social media, and even local newspapers with made up propaganda about Leninist indoctrination, anti-Christian, and a threat to Western Civilization. It’s the Moms for Liberty that are indoctrinating our children into believe that this world was created white and that anyone that was gay, black, muslim, or of not a Caucasian descent is evil, and out to attack you. They are teaching white kids that they are superior to everyone else, and they should get what they want over the expense of others.
Hitler tried to create a perfect white race in Germany by killing everyone who didn’t look like them or believe as they do.
Now it’s your two cents. Feel free to comment below.
