GET ME REWRITE: Flibbertigibbet Moms are all the rage!

HeadlineWashington Post, 5/9/2023
Mickey notified parents that two books would be read aloud to kids from kindergarten through second grade. One was “Stella Brings the Family,” about a girl who is unsure how to approach a Mother’s Day celebration at school because she has two dads. The other was “Mother Bruce,” about a bear who adopts a brood of goslings who believe he’s their mother. Follow Greg Sargent's opinions Follow 
“We have students who don’t have mothers for a variety of reasons,” Mickey told me. “But everyone has somebody who loves them the way that a mother does.”  
She offered parents the option of opting out of this lesson for their kids. In keeping with school district policy, she offered them an alternate lesson. 
Then Moms for Liberty — which is restricting classroom discussion and getting books purged from school libraries across the country — wheeled into action.
