Liberal parents concerned about the right’s increased focus on school board elections are ready to fight back — but they face obstacles in fundraising and organizing, with little national support.
Over the past year, dozens of progressive activist organizations and political action committees have launched or reoriented themselves to counter conservatives who have brought the fight over culture war issues to school board races.
These liberal groups — including Red, Wine & Blue, a national effort; the Florida Freedom to Read Project, which two Florida mothers formed to combat book bans; and Defense of Democracy, started by two mothers in Fishkill, New York, who were unsettled by what they saw as Christian nationalists targeting school boards — have begun endorsing candidates, distributing campaign signs and training parents to speak out in support of diversity programs, transgender accommodations and books about racial conflicts and LGBTQ issues.
But in contrast to the conservative parent groups that quickly attracted support from prominent Republican politicians, think tanks and TV commentators, these left-leaning parents have received little national political backing. High-profile Democrats and many progressive organizations have largely avoided wading into the increasingly heated debates over policies and lessons on race and gender in schools.

What crap, they have the school boards, teachers' unions, DOJ, the entire Rat party, etc.
It is time to close the public schools.
Thanks for ID'ing the enemy for us.
You gotta Fight!
For your Right!
To Drag Queens!!!!!
“Liberal parents concerned about the right’s increased focus...”
What rights, whose rights?
“Liberal parents”
The rarest of all the groups. In fact, it’s “Liberals who want to exude undue pressure over the education of other people’s children, having none of their own.”
And any woman who has given birth to kids certainly knows exactly what a woman is. And it isn't some freak man with his junk chopped off.
I just have a very hard time with liberal women who want their kids to be bombarded with all the sexual crap. Whatever happened to mothers AND fathers protecting their children from predators?
“....Conservatives are way ahead”

No. Conservatives are way behind. Liberals have been in charge of school boards, the teacher’s union, and all educational material for decades. Just in the past eighteen months are so have the conservatives started taking an interest and pushing back.
You 100% sure about that
Mom Revolution. Even Lib moms see the danger.
“combat book bans”
I am sure a lot of guys like me remember going into a dad’s dresser to pull out the Playboy Magazines and look at the pictures.
Does that mean we should have Playboy at school libraries?
Or is Playboy too cisgendered and patriarchal for the woke mob?
To be a liberal or to be a parent... must be a tough decision for them.
and the MSM.
“...training parents to speak out in support of diversity programs, transgender accommodations and books about racial conflicts and LGBTQ issues.”
Certainly not since Playboy had their first tranny playmate a few years ago.
See, the thing about lefties is that they don’t like making personal sacrifices, which is part of being a parent. You can be a parent or a lefty, but not both.
They seem to like making sacrifices, but like you said, not personal ones.
Because we didn’t care or do anything about it. Maybe it’s something the left doesn’t want to fight over at the ballot box. Everything was fine for them when they didn’t face opposition. Now they are going to get a democracy suppository come Nov. 8.
I’ll know we have won when two things happen. First, education tax dollars go directly to parents to educate their children any way they see fit. Second, school boards refuse to renew teacher union contracts and schools are kept open with brave teachers crossing picket lines. (That’s if there is such a thing as a brave teacher.)
It is time for a National divorce.
