Recently one of the Moms For Liberty chapters included this quote in one of their newsletters:
"He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future."
The quote is attributed to Adolph Hitler. Oops. The Moms say they deeply regretted including that quote, but they did not go so far as saying they disagreed with it.
Another one attributed to good old Adolph: "Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state." Adolph was correct on both ideas. If you control what kids learn (or what adults can see in the press - another post), you can control the future direction of society.
The Moms claim to be promoting parents' rights. That's a no-brainer, right? Who could be against parents raising their kids they way they want? Of course, that's not really what the Moms want. They want YOU, and everyone else, to raise their kids the way THE MOMS want! Hence: book bans, legislating what can be taught and what can't, and packing school boards so only the right textbooks and curriculum are in place.
The right-wing juggernaut has accomplished quite a bit lately with the help of the Supreme Court. But, they aren't done -- not by a long shot!
