"Iowa chapters of the far-right group Moms for Liberty endorsed 13 candidates in school board races across the state. Only one was elected.

"The Tuesday loss is a stinging rebuke of Moms for Liberty, a “parental rights” organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center designated as an extremist group. What happened in Iowa mimics similar defeats suffered by the group and by Republicans in general throughout the United States."

@TomSullivan Would be nice if we could introduce a bill requiring groups honestly name themselves.

"Moms for Liberty" is a fascist group of bigots and most photos I've seen of them, most of them are gray-haired and half of them are men.

Even one is too many wins.

Honest by whose definition?

Always be careful with such ideas and remember that SCOTUS has a conservative majority for the next couple of decades.

@yacc143 @TomSullivan True. This was one of the tricks they used under Jim Crow.
I suppose I meant my question rhetorically; ironically.

@TomSullivan

Arkansas school board races are on the 14th. Some are entered.

@TomSullivan The reason they are being defeated is because people are paying attention. As soon as we relax and think our jobs are done, they will sneak back up on us. Please don't EVER give them that opportunity!!
