Phyllis Schlafly, born on this day in 1924 in St Louis, Missouri, USA, was a staunch defender of the rights of women to be mothers.

“I nursed my babies. I was a full-time homemaker. I taught them all how to read before I let them go to school.” and “Anyone with a child knows that children learn about the world through binary options: up or down, hot or cold, big or little, inside or outside, wet or dry, good or bad, boy or girl, man or woman.” – Phyllis Schlafly was a Harvard graduate, attorney, author and mother of six.

In Australia now, Libertarian David Limbrick is talking about the ideology teaching gender fluidity to five year olds in Victorian Schools.

(Herald Sun 14/8/2025) “Libertarian Party MP David Limbrick …….. said it was “Orwellian” that an ideology “that destroys relationships between parents and kids and between parents and schools is underpinned by aa curriculum called respectful relationships. I have spoken to several parents whose families have been torn apart by this ideology, and all of it was started and enabled in school, often in secret. Many parents are hearing horror stories and are looking for ways to protect their children.”
