Parents Are Winning. That’s Why Far Left Is Turning Us Into Bogeymen.

Are “parental rights” some secret Bat Signal for right-wing evangelicals? The answer is yes, if you are writing for Salon. In a recent article, author Kathryn Joyce argued that “parental rights” is really the latest attempt of right-wing evangelicals to win elections.
Joyce has a long history of trying to pin blame on right-wing evangelicals. She has previously attacked international adoptions and large families only if they’re Christians (not any other faith, or lack thereof). So, it is not particularly surprising that now that parents from across the political spectrum are speaking up, she’s ready to blame it all on her favorite scapegoat: right-wing evangelicals.
Except it’s false: Parents from across every racial, demographic, ethnic, and political background are fighting against bureaucrats over who will decide basic questions regarding the education, upbringing, and care of their children.
It’s not just right-wing evangelicals. It’s parents from across the political, religious (and nonreligious), and demographic spectrums.
Parental rights have been an issue for decades - for parents of all flavors, not just Bogey-Evangelicals - for decades. That I'm aware of, it started at least as early as the early-mid 1980s, when parents testified to a Congressional committee about Education Department sanctioned and funded psychological manipulations at public schools (Phyllis Schlafly's Child Abuse in the Classroom). But facts do not matter to Proggies like Kathryn Joyce, obviously. There's Evangelicals to bogeymanize!

I would counter that by saying that "voter rights" is really the latest attempt of left wing politicians to rig the voting system to allow voter fraud thru mail in ballots ballot harvesting and other sly tricks they try to sell as making sure that everyone can vote.
