Its members are true culture warriors who see themselves as such, and Philadelphia was their big training ground to fight the "woke" public educational system and by extension, the United States. As the group's members walked between the many protesters lining the streets in front of the convention hotel, one could see how their disdain for those protesters was steeling them for the work ahead. These moms are on a crusade, a holy calling. And that is what makes them dangerous and effective.   This is a preview of Anthea Butler's latest article.
