I'm surprised at the criticism of this article, Daniel Peterson's articles are always well written, intelligent and logical laid out and spiritually sound. While I don't know much about Moms for Liberty I do know anything that the Southern Poverty Law Center says should be instantly and totally disregarded. Much of the so-called "book banning" that has been in the news the last couple of years has been mischaracterized and mislabeled by the mainstream media, any one who has taken the time to actually do some in depth research will find that mostly what this has been about is two things, books and curriculum that advanced the LGBTQ+ agenda that are basically pornography or contain totally age inappropriate material but presented under the guise of fairness and equality and books and curriculum that are anti-American or present false history's such as The 1619 Project and A People's History of the United States.

Concern for Tina Descovich speaking at BYU education Week was much more than book bans and making fun of the groups name. I moved to Utah from Tennessee where this group made national news as they actively destroyed our school district meetings, attacking our school superintendent, teachers, librarians and curriculum. I suppose that is a parents right, but they have earned the accusation of being a hate group, And the participants didn’t have children in the school district. Yesterday they had their convention with President Trump speaking, and I would love you to look for the picture of our current president and vice president hanging in the foyer as everyone entered. Look up articles about it on AP News and other reputable sites. This is not a loving group of LDS mothers but a well funded extremist group. (If you can’t find the photo of the picture in the lobby, it is Kamala Harris over the carcass of a bald eagle, blood dripping from her mouth. In the corner is President Biden with a knife protruding from his back.. a large guild framed oil painting). Please do a little research.

Interesting that you would use as support information from The Heritage Foundation and The Washington Examiner. On the Harvard media bias graph both of these skew heavy right. Where is the support from more centrist media?

I remember many years ago that a legislator in Utah made a big stink about a book called "Americana" being in a school library. The result of his efforts to have the book removed only caused it to be read a lot more by people who wanted to find out what the big deal was.
