Ep. 12 - The Fight For Parental Rights: Control, Power, and Politics (Tamra Farah, Cassie Kimbrell and Ken Witt)

58 minutes

Parental rights in America are under attack — and if you’re a parent, you are at war even if you don’t realize it yet. Join Heidi this week as she explores the Left’s obsession with taking rights away from parents and putting a wedge in every American family unit. She is joined by Tamra Farah, a longtime warrior for parents and a leader at Parents Know Best, as well as Cassie Kimbrell and Ken Witt whose local success story out of Woodland Park, Colorado is gaining national media attention.

Full Episode Breakdown:

Part 1 (0:00-11:39): Heidi deep dives into two recent attacks on parental rights — the Southern Poverty Law Center’s move to declare Moms for Liberty a hate group, as well as a new law in California that goes as far as saying “non-affirming behavior” is child abuse. She discusses:

How groups like SPLC are creating a culture of extremism in America by inflating numbers, conflating dissent with hate, and targeting conservative voices.

What actually falls under the umbrella of “parental rights” and how they’re being manipulated for control, power, and political gain.

Why the left is hellbent on breaking up the American family unit and making parents out to be the enemy.

Part 2 (11:39-39:00): Tamra Farah joins Heidi for a brutally candid look into the current state of parental rights on the national stage while also providing insight into actionable steps parents can take to protect their children. She talks about:

The history behind gender ideology and how 20th-century Marxist leaders intentionally used it to separate children from their families as a political strategy.

The Left’s use of education and the public school system to further their agenda and how teachers are being kept OUT of the conversation.

The truth and lies within the school choice discussion and how to find the best education option for your family.

What the left is planning next and how conservatives can start playing OFFENSE.
