Trump Urges Conservative Mothers to Stand Up to the Radical Left
LISTEN HERE:
Former President Donald Trump delivered a passionate speech at the Moms for Liberty Summit, calling out the so-called ‘radical Left’ for their disdain towards God. He encouraged conservative mothers to take a stand and become activists for their children’s sake.
In his address, Trump expressed his determination to liberate the education system from what he referred to as ‘Marxist lunatics and perverts.’ He pledged to issue an executive order on his first day to cut federal funding to any school that promotes critical race theory, transgender ideology, or any other inappropriate content of a racial, sexual, or political nature.
Furthermore, Trump emphasized the importance of returning control of education to the states. Though not initially planned, this statement revealed his commitment to local control and a departure from federal interference.
He denounced the ‘radical Left socialism’ as an ‘established religion’ and a ‘cult,’ asserting that violations of the establishment clause would be pursued by the Department of Justice. Trump voiced concerns over the cultural values being imparted to children, highlighting the misguided prioritization of events like drag shows over church and the teaching of pronouns instead of prayers.
To address these issues, Trump called for the abolition of teacher tenure in K-12 schools, ensuring transparency in curriculum for parents, and the implementation of universal school choice. He also advocated for the direct election of school principals by parents, which he believed would provide the ultimate form of local control and protect parental rights.
Trump strongly asserted his opposition to gender ideology within schools and vowed to declare hospitals and healthcare providers involved in the physical or chemical mutilation of minors as non-compliant with federal health and safety standards, resulting in an immediate termination of federal funds.
Another area of concern for Trump was the influence of liberal colleges and universities. He announced his intention to dismiss all accreditation groups deemed ‘radical Left’ that have allowed campuses to be dominated by what he described as ‘Marxist Maniacs and freaks.’
Trump acknowledged the grassroots strength of organizations like Moms for Liberty, recognizing the vital role parents play in safeguarding their children’s education.
He praised those who attended from all corners of the nation, emphasizing the need for activism among conservatives in a society where misguided ideologies have gained prominence.
During his speech, Trump highlighted several accomplishments from his presidency, including the Every Student Succeeds Act that aimed to eliminate common core and a tax break allowing parents to send their children to private religious schools tax-free.
He criticized colleges for suppressing free speech, endorsing critical race theory, and unveiled the 1776 Commission, which sought to promote a more patriotic education.
Trump held nothing back in criticizing President Joe Biden, labeling him an ‘American hating socialist’ and accusing him of weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents.
Despite being unjustly labeled an extremist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Moms for Liberty found an ally in Trump. He condemned the Biden administration’s targeting of patriotic parents during school board meetings, assuring attendees that they were the true embodiment of American values.
Trump vowed to hold corrupt government officials accountable, particularly those who had targeted Moms for Liberty. He concluded with a resounding message, urging Americans to recognize the delicate state of the nation and the need to protect the core principles it was built upon.
Trump seized the opportunity to celebrate recent victories in college admissions, praising the Supreme Court’s decisions against race-based admissions, which he attributed to his appointment of Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
He also noted favorable rulings on student loans and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, acknowledging the importance of effectively discussing the issue of abortion within the Republican party.
Trump advocated for states to have the authority to decide abortion restrictions, recognizing the variety of perspectives within the conservative movement.
The former president’s speech was gracefully introduced by Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), who shared his own personal story of how his mother’s decision to transfer him to a better school shaped his life positively. He acknowledged the opposition faced by conservatives, emphasizing the belief among some that children belong to the state rather than their parents.
Donalds referenced the impact of former Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s ill-advised comments during the gubernatorial election, suggesting they contributed to his defeat at the hands of now-Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R).
In conclusion, the Moms for Liberty Summit served as a platform for hundreds of passionate mothers from across the country. Attendees engaged in breakout sessions aimed at educating and empowering parents to tackle critical issues within their local schools.
Founded in 2021 by Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich, Moms for Liberty has rapidly gained national recognition amid growing concerns about critical race theory, covert gender transitions, investigations into parents as domestic terrorists, and the negative consequences of coronavirus lockdowns on children’s development.
Notable figures, such as Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), former Gov. Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and former Gov. Asa Hutchinson, also delivered impactful speeches at the summit, further amplifying its significance.
