Woke militants blunder into a parental buzz saw

Published



Not a day passes without mothers and fathers rebelling against left-wing indoctrination of their children at school. Like magma erupting through the Earth’s crust, superheated parental anger is cracking the natural disinclination of ordinary people to speak up on controversial issues. Videos of parents confronting an education establishment that has been entirely captured by the radical Left are going viral so often that they’ve become a new social media genre, as Max Eden noted in the Washington Examiner magazine.

This is a counterrevolution that might topple the edifice of left-wing lies about our culture and our country. To switch metaphors, the ideological abuse of schoolchildren might be a bridge too far, the fatal overreach by left-wing bullies. These militants may, as a result, be thwarted in their repellent efforts to make ours a less successful and less admirable nation. They reckoned on ordinary Americans remaining docile, like those proverbial frogs in gradually heated water, but they have probably miscalculated.
