A conservative parents’ group is taking a bold stand against the woke takeover of June. Moms for Liberty’s Wisconsin chapter announced plans to rebrand Pride Month as “Parental Rights Month,” sparking fierce nationwide debate. They argue families—not schools or corporations—should decide what values children learn.
Chairwoman Scarlett Johnson made headlines on Fox & Friends declaring, “We don’t co-parent with the government!” Her comments resonated with millions of parents tired of schools pushing radical gender theories. Johnson emphasized protecting children from being sexualized through Pride parades and classroom content some consider inappropriate.
The group targets school libraries stocking books they claim promote transgenderism and explicit content. Members recently protested district policies letting students change pronouns without parental consent. “This isn’t about hate—it’s about preserving childhood innocence,” said one Wisconsin mom at a packed school board meeting.
Moms for Liberty backs state laws banning biological males from girls’ sports and bathrooms. They’ve praised legislators fighting to keep drag shows away from minors. Their Montana chapter helped pass protections ensuring parents—not hospitals—make decisions about gender transition procedures for kids.
Liberal activists have attacked the group as “extremists,” organizing protests outside their events. Teachers’ unions claim the moms want to erase LGBTQ+ history from classrooms. But supporters counter that schools should focus on math and reading instead of social engineering.
The battle reached corporate America when Moms for Liberty led boycotts against Disney’s Pride merchandise. “Companies shouldn’t target kids with confusing messages about sexuality,” Johnson stated. The group urges families to spend June teaching traditional values at home instead of celebrating Pride.
Critics call the rebranding effort divisive, but parents nationwide are joining the cause. “We’re reclaiming our right to raise kids without government interference,” said a Michigan father organizing local chapters. The movement highlights growing frustration with elites pushing radical agendas in public institutions.
As Pride Month begins, Moms for Liberty vows to keep fighting for common-sense protections. Their message cuts through the noise: Let kids be kids, and let parents parent. The culture war over childhood has found its fiercest warriors in these everyday American moms.
