A new threat to the ADA

12. Republicans are quick to start groups, with funding from secret donors, like Moms for Liberty.

They claim to be grassroots organizations, but they are funded by dark money. Perhaps its time for Democrats to create groups to lobby the public for progressive ideas. For example, Parents for Rights or maybe Parents for Progress could be formed to fight Republican lies and actions like this case involving the ADA. They could tackle a bunch of issues, like better access for the disabled in schools and elsewhere. And safety for all students—why should kids have to go to school and waste valuable instruction time hiding under their desks for frequent active shooter drills?

Such a group could lobby for teacher support as Republican state administrations make conditions so intolerable that many teachers are leaving the profession.

I’m sure parents of LGBTQ kids in red states have faced issues of discrimination.

Republicans get their message of white supremacy and religious intolerance out through many channels. Democrats do not, and we do not have the support of the mainstream media most of the time, even to report facts and issues fairly without giving their conservative slant. We need some new ideas.
