    From Red Scare to Woke Scare: Moms for Liberty and the Politics of Fear in Education

    What do anti-communist crusades of the 1950s have in common with today's battles over "wokeness" in schools? In this episode, we explore the historical parallels between the Red Scare and contemporary movements such as Moms for Liberty, examining how fears of ideological indoctrination have shaped public debates about education. This episode is from a lecture within our Political Communication class taught by Dr. Mary Byrne and Dr. Peyton Del Toro.
