In early March 2023, Bethany Mandel published an anti-transgender book called Stolen Youth. Let's also be aware:

that woman who was hilariously unable to define what "woke" means despite supposedly writing a whole book on it also happens to be a genocidal fascist maniac. But because it's aimed at Palestinians she gets to keep her lucrative media grift career pic.twitter.com/VZG9wC0Y6n

The Left is waging an ideological battle for our kids. It’s coming from every side: entertainment, school, medicine. I’ve co-written a book with @karol for @DailyWireBooks about this assault and how we can go on offense and protect our kids. Pre-order it: https://t.co/jHy2BdQ2Kg

A thread about my teaching philosophy and about common humanity, sparked by reaction to a @bethanyshondark story about her personal life. First, the teaching. I begin every class with a promise to students, that I will be offended by nothing they say that semester. Nothing. 1/ https://t.co/KDqdSHnPoU

The fact journalists failed, and continue to fail, to ask conservatives to define "woke" is part of the problem. https://t.co/icddOJjDC0

Ah, yes, let’s please “argue with her ideas” as if they were presented in good faith, as if the anti-“wokeism” crusade was a struggle over ideas and not a manufactured panic in service of a reactionary political project that seeks to naturalize traditional hierarchies. pic.twitter.com/9GhmNoVizz

One problem here is to give a straight-ahead definition, such as "'woke' is being aware of injustice and discrimination in society," would put her in a position of either defending injustice and discrimination, or trying to clearly point out hypocrisy in those she deems "woke." https://t.co/QA1AtlXtt8

the extra embarrassing part of this is that "define wokeness" has been a left/liberal gotcha question for a while now, and this lady who wrote a book on the topic couldn't even put together two sentences of workshopped bullshit to respond to it https://t.co/EFElfliLK5

Neither can Moms for Liberty explain what they mean by 'ideology' or 'grooming'
(Moms for Liberty Had a Chance to Explain Themselves. It Didn’t Go Well. (Julianne McShane, Mother Jones, March 4, 2024)
Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes interviewed the groups two co-founders, Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich:
“Parents send their kids to school to be educated, not indoctrinated into ideology,” co-founder Tiffany Justice told Pelley at one point.
“What ideology are they being indoctrinated into?” Pelley asked.
“Let’s just say, children in America cannot read,” co-founder Tina Descovich responded, referencing the group’s effort to sharpen its focus on literacy issues...

During their interview with 60 Minutes, the co-founders also dodged Pelley’s questions about what, exactly, they mean when they allege teachers are librarians are “grooming” kids.
“Parents want to partner with their children’s schools, but we do not co-parent with the government,” Justice said.
“Grooming does not seem like a word that you want to take on,” Pelley said, once again pushing back on the non-answer.
