Suzanne Gallagher welcomed Sunday Shibley from Willis, Texas, to discuss parents' rights in education and local school district activism. Shibley shared her journey from being unaware of school content issues to becoming a state Grassroots Coordinator and advocate for parental rights. She emphasizes the importance of educating parents on school happenings and actively works to remove inappropriate books from schools, facing challenges such as being labeled "unhinged" for directly quoting controversial material at school board meetings. Shibley’s efforts include attending school board meetings, campaigning, and using social media platforms to inform and rally support. Despite setbacks, such as surgery and pushback from school authorities, she perseveres in advocating for book removals and engaging in legislative efforts. Her work has sparked community support, leading to increased parental involvement and prayer groups for schools. Shibley emphasizes the need for protecting children from inappropriate content, challenging school book selections, and advocating for parental oversight in educational content. Gallagher praises Shibley's dedication and suggests broader community actions, like petitions, to support school change. The conversation underscores the importance of parental involvement, transparency in school materials, and the ongoing struggle to ensure educational environments align with community values.
