Reasons for getting involved in the battle against school boards

Three women discuss their reasons for getting involved in the battle against school boards in Iowa. One woman became concerned after her law business had to close during COVID and her daughter received a language arts assignment on critical race theory. Another woman discovered explicit books in her district's libraries and fought for transparency. The third woman's son had negative experiences with racially-charged books in the classroom. They all believe that the education system is indoctrinating children and are determined to protect their children's innocence and prepare them for a better future.
