"Melissa" by Alex Gino

Welcome back to “Moms for Book Liberty”! In today’s episode, Courtney and Jennifer are exploring “Melissa” by Alex Gino, a wonderful and wholesome chapter book about friendship and acceptance. While this book is considered a “junior” book and is recommended for anyone 8 and up, this episode is NOT a “junior” episode! Courtney and Jennifer don’t hold back as they expose the archaic backwardness of HB 1069 and the unjust attack on medical freedom and parental rights of SB 254. And don’t even get them started on the hypocrisy of Moms for Liberty! How can they claim that they “Don’t Co-Parent with the Government'' when they’re literally hugging politicians while wearing t-shirts that say “We Don’t Co-Parent with the Government”? Trust us, you don’t want to skip this deep dive into such an important piece of award-winning literature…It just might open the eyes of even the most bone-headed bigot!   Sources: HB 1069 and SB 254 ACLU of Florida Statement on Gov.
