Good speech

The need to protect parental rights in the United States has awakened "mama bears" as the "most powerful political force in this country," Florida Gov. and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said while speaking Friday at the national summit of the Moms for Liberty group in Philadelphia.

"Events like they had in New York City where they're chanting, some drag queens, 'We are coming for your kids,' let me tell you something, you start messing with our kids, we've got problems," DeSantis told the audience, drawing cheers.

He added that he sees the issue not only through the lens of a governor or a presidential candidate but also through the eyes of a father of three children.

My wife and I really believe that parents in this country should be able to send their kids to school, should let them watch cartoons, or just be kids without having some agenda shoved down their throat," he said
.

The Moms for Liberty summit has met with protests in Philadelphia, as critics say the group calls for banning books and pushes for discussions of LGBTQ rights and racial inequality to be kept out of the classroom, reported Philadelphia ABC affiliate WPVI.

The group has grown rapidly after its start in 2021 with three Florida mothers who opposed COVID-19 mandates to now claiming 285 chapters across 45 states and attracting not only DeSantis, but at least three other presidential candidates — former President Donald Trump, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy — to speak at its summit.

However, notes WPVI, the Southern Poverty Law Center earlier this month designated Moms for Liberty an anti-governmental extremist group.

Of course they did

I saw Julian Bond at the Washington state legislature when in high school. I admired him

Sad to see how far they have fallen
