Co-founder Bridget Ziegler is embroiled in a sex scandal involving her husband, former Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler, and parents are running brutal ads attacking her. We chatted with journalist Jennifer Berkshire, the author of a forthcoming book on battles over education, who explains the bigger story here: The right is now on the defensive in the culture wars.

      I know a mom with an STD. She’s a good person and good mother, moreover she opposes MfL entirely. Let’s not shame people for things that don’t reflect on their poor character.

        Respectfully, I am an individual who is not seeking an editor.

        The transference and personalization of my quip aimed at Mom’s for Liberty to your friend is a crazy stretch, like your friend probably.
