A USA article, "Moms for Liberty: An education army builds" focuses on finding funding sources for the group's modest $300,000 budget when the real story is why so many parents are doing so much with so little.
Parents are revolting against heavy-handed, ideologically driven governments that have used schools as social indoctrination vehicles and, during illogical lockdowns, turned their children into Zoom Zombies.
Over the past two years of the pandemic, millions of parents have seen firsthand, through their virtual window into schools, that they have been entrusting their children to ineffective educational systems saturated what one mother quoted in the article calls a "leftist, liberal social agenda."
So these parents have done what any loving parents would do: they have taken back control of their own children's education. Some have turned to home schooling, others to private schools and still others to a hybrid, such as the Scent of Water educational community in northern Virginia. Children in that program learn mostly outdoors in an integrated curriculum taught three days a week by professional educators, and parents work hand-in-hand with educators to round out their children's education the remaining two days.
Like our first Revolution, this parental revolution reminds us that governments "derive their just powers from the consent of the governed."
