The Onion parodies the news of the day.
In this one, they describe a Looney Tunes group called Dads for America, which tried to run down a teacher for being “woke.”
TERRE HAUTE, IN—Screaming incoherently about transgender girls in sports and the need to teach children cursive so they can learn to read the Constitution, some group called Dads for America is currently trying to run over your kid’s teacher with a car, sources confirmed Thursday. The group of local fathers, who reportedly met on Reddit last week, were seen piling into a vehicle, steering it toward the front doors of an elementary school, and flooring it when they saw Ms. Landers, your child’s beloved fifth-grade teacher.

Well, there is the FASCIST “Moms for Liberty”, so why not FASCIST “Dads for America.”
Here’s a list of mothers that I think would be perfect fits to join Mom’s for Liberty.

I’m baffled why Traitor Trump, his father, and Mad Musk didn’t make the Bad Dads list. Trump should be really pissed that he didn’t make that list since he brags all the time that he’s the smartest genius and best __________ in the world.
Fill in the blank because with Trump he means he is the smartest and best at everything. The genius of geniuses. I’m sure that also means the #1 most evil villain ever.

Diane has written about the conservative religious Alliance for Defending Freedom in the past. Similar to Hillsdale, ADF gets tagged Christian which people assume is protestant.
Nondoc.com posted, 7-24-2023, “Anticipating Catholic Charter Litigation (Okla.), Statewide Virtual Charter School Board (SVCSB) Retained Conservative Christian Law Firm Alliance Defending Freedom.”
I’d call this a plan for winning which will be cheered on by advocates of religious charter schools at Notre Dame (the most influential in advancing religious charter schools) and, for Catholics like Amy Barrett.

Btw- there’s an article at Huffpo about the 8 or so “experts” who are well paid to traipse to states and convince judges that trans therapy is wrong. No surprise that a flagship Catholic university is represented. Also, unsurprising, the school’s affiliation with a religious sect goes unidentified.
Yes, there are differing opinions at universities but, we had hoped that a religious sect’s beliefs about women as inferior wouldn’t still find public voice in their institutions.
Why are gay rights any different?

About a decade ago, I was invited to speak at Norte Dame. I warned that I would make the case against vouchers. They were undeterred. I brought my partner. Both of us were treated royally. Norte Dame had an endowment of $7 billion at the time. Probably more.
