Moms for Liberty launches ‘Teach Kids to Read Week’ as counter to leftist ‘Banned Book Week’ which features porn and gender ideology

The parental rights group is being joined in this push by Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters.

Moms of Liberty has been tirelessly sounding the alarm against issues like pornography being funneled into children's school libraries across the country for years. Their actions have earned them praise from parents who have witnessed the throttling of their rights to raise their own children by school boards pushing far left ideology. The parental rights group's actions have also earned them the scorn of socialist progressives as well as the label of "antigovernment extremist entity" by the SPLC. Many other parental rights groups have been designated extremists, with some organizations going so far as to call them domestic terrorists, resulting in surveillance and tracking by the FBI.

Moms for Liberty has stood its ground and has spread across the country exponentially since its founding in early 2021 as a way for parents to organize in an attempt to hold on to their right to decide how their children are raised.

In response to the progressive extremist-driven "Banned Book Week" being promoted by the American Library Association and PEN America, Moms for Liberty has taken the first week in October back to refocus on the well-being of the nation's children. The week has been renamed Teach Kids to Read Week.

While public libraries in largely progressive cities such as NYC are collecting books filled with images and passages of child sex abuse to provide to school-aged children for BBW, Moms for Liberty has doubled down their efforts to push back on misinformation and to highlight the reading crisis in America's schools. The group aims to take focus away from BBW and give it back to our children. By concentrating on facts instead of the pedophilia-driven ramblings of the woke's literary cabal, Moms for Liberty is joined by multitudes of Americans demanding protection and education for children. As part of their effort, the parental rights group is listing simple facts:

America's children are experiencing a 33 out of 100 reading proficiency rate.

Only 19 out of every 100 low-income 4th grade students are proficient in reading.

Only 17 out of 100 4th grade black students are proficient in reading.

These statistics are alarming and highlight the devastation that has resulted from the left's inverted idea of what children's education should be. Moms for Liberty is growing in support across the country, from concerned parents to politicians like Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters.

The Co-Founders of Moms for Liberty, Tina Descovich and Tiffany Justice, issued a joint statement on the endeavor:

"When organizations such as Pen America, and those pushing for so-called 'Banned Book Week' continue to try to keep porn in schools we must fight back. America's kids no longer know how to read and rather than highlighting that issue, these groups want to allow kids to access pornographic materials and other inappropriate materials. This is unacceptable, and we are proud to continue to fight for America's children and encourage kids to learn how to read."

The American Library Association lists the book Queer Gender as one of the most challenged books of the year, with multitudes of parents having lodged formal complaints after finding the book full of pornographic images tucked into school libraries. Moms for Liberty is more than familiar with the work, having fought in numerous school districts to remove it. It details Maia Kobabe's journey of identifying as nonbinary and asexual. In an interview with The Washington Post, the author stated: "Queer youth are often forced to look outside their own homes, and outside the education system, to find information on who they are. Removing or restricting queer books in libraries and schools is like cutting a lifeline for queer youth, who might not yet even know what terms to ask Google to find out more about their own identities, bodies and health."

Below is a snapshot of what a student would find should they pick up a copy of Gender Queer in their school library. The Post Millennial has blurred the pornographic images for the sake of our readers. This courtesy, it seems, is not one extended to our children by far-left extremist groups moving in lockstep. There is no blurring of these images in school libraries. Instead, there is a demand that these sorts of images not only be available to children, not only be acknowledged, but that they be celebrated within our school systems through BBW - that we should devote entire weeks to this book and books just like it.

Organizations like PEN and the American Library Association ignore the fact that our nation's youth is falling behind in literacy rates at an alarming rate, choosing instead to celebrate literary darlings of the liberal stassi during BBW.

We might do well to take a page out of the playbook that Moms for Liberty has been authoring for years and choose to ignore BBW and instead choose to Teach Children to Read.
