CALL TO ACTIVISM
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism·
🚨🚨🚨Holy shit: A mom stood up at her school board meeting and delivered an AMAZING speech expressing frustration that conservative extremists were interfering with her child’s education. Adrienne Martin of Granbury, Texas, boldly confronted the school board and held nothing back: Here is what Adrienne Martin told her school board: 👇 "I do not want random people with no education background or experience determining what books my child can read, what curriculum they learn, and what clubs they can join.  Just because you can get up at every meeting and rant and rave does not give you authority over my child's education.  Your personal religious beliefs- people in this room and on this board- should not be affecting my child's education either. Our schools are not to be used for personal political agendas. And our children are here for education, not religious indoctrination.   I implore the board to put an end to trying to appease these extremists. Focus on retaining staff, providing excellent public education, and a safe and welcoming learning space for all students.  The speakers speaking about what great Christians they are... Great! Go tell your pastor. Our schools are not your church.  Thank you."  🔥🔥🔥 Thank you to this BRAVE mom for speaking out!

CAMPBELL, CA, 1955 “Everything was a threat, terrorizing us like a 1950s cartoon, not listening, bullying, lying about his real estate deals, ridiculing everyone who did not look like him. What kind of a man grabs his ten-year-old stepson by the balls as a joke?” — IRMA, page 208

“Irma had grit. I love the love on these pages for Irma, and above all the empathy for her younger self doing the best she could with the hand she was dealt by the war— and life. She grabbed me by the heart.” — Jennet Conant

A son hating his stepfather, searching for the character of his true father, is an old story. The center of the story, though, is not one of the fathers or even the son. It is the mother, Irma...
