On tonight’s episode, I welcome Kathryn Joyce to the program. We'll be talking about her recent article in Church and State, "Mad Moms: A New Christian Nationalist Front Group Claims to Champion Parental Involvement in Public Education. Critics Say There's a More Nefarious Agenda Afoot." "Mad Moms" takes a deep dive into Moms for Liberty, their deep pockets, and their growing extremism.
Kathryn Joyce is an investigative editor at In These Times, a freelance investigative reporter and the author of two books: The Child Catchers: Rescue, Trafficking and the New Gospel of Adoption and Quiverfull: Inside the Christian Patriarchy Movement.
