The Daughters of the American Revolution Accepts Transgender Members | The Rob Maness Show EP 690

For generations, the Daughters of the American Revolution have stood as a proud symbol of American patriotism. Their motto, God, Home, and Country, and their mission of historic preservation, education, and patriotism have guided them for over a century. But today, the DAR is facing serious accusations of going woke. Members who simply want to preserve the organization’s traditional standards are being intimidated, blackballed, and suppressed by national and state officers. Chapters that push back are reportedly cut off from new member referrals and genealogical support. The group is in a full-blown governance crisis. Chapter-proposed bylaw amendments have been rejected by the board for three years straight. Now the National Board of Management is trying to make it almost impossible to challenge them, proposing to raise the number of chapters needed to call a special meeting and the number needed to propose bylaws by 1200 percent! At the recent 135th Continental Congress, attempts to address these problems were blocked: livestream access was denied, procedural maneuvers limited debate, and a key resolution failed amid reports of voting irregularities. Fighting back is a growing group called Daughters Advocating for Restoration. They now have over 100 chapters signed on for a special meeting this October, and they have support in Congress through Representative Ben Cline’s DAR Integrity Act, which would amend the congressional charter to clearly define the word “woman.”Discover other shows on the Talk Red Podcast Network, and get your daily fix of news, sports, and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.
