Podcasts about conservatism women

Grass-roots groups like Moms for Liberty have turned school boards into battlegrounds in California and nationwide, fighting for control over kids' classroom discussions and reading materials – often at the expense of marginalized communities. But is this a new battle, or the latest in a line of conservative parenting movements? We talk with journalists and historians about previous education showdowns – from the “red scare” of the 1950s to sex education – and examine the lasting role that Republican women have played in shaping school and state politics. Guests: Kathleen Quillian, producer of "Bedrock, USA" podcast; co-host and producer of podcast mini-series "The School Board Queen" Michelle Nickerson, professor of history at Loyola University Chicago; author of "Mothers of Conservatism: Women and the Postwar Right" and "Spiritual Criminals: How the Camden 28 Put the Vietnam War on Trial" Ishani Desai, breaking news reporter, The Sacramento Bee

To understand how mental health services in schools became the latest partisan flashpoint, we go back to the 1950's. That's when a movement of conservative women took on the emerging field of mental health as part of their larger crusade against the spread of communism. In the 50's and 60's, these activists waged fierce battles to resist the menace of the mental health profession and “progressive education,” any effort to influence the thinking of American school children.

A esquerda quer transformar o Alasca num campo de gulag para patriotas? Flúor está sendo adicionado à água para zumbificar as crianças? Por sorte temos donas de casa californianas organizadas para salvar o país. A história surreal de hoje se baseia no livro de Michelle Nickerson, “Mães do Conservadorismo” e versa sobre um grupo de mulheres dos anos 1950 cujas teorias da conspiração moldaram uma ala do conservadorismo moderno. Falamos um bocado sobre como a coisa da "família tradicional ameaçada" e pautas da ministra Damares Alves têm tudo a ver com os EUA da Guerra Fria. BIBLIOGRAFIA: Santa Ana Register.

Recently, historians have shown that the modern conservative movement is older and more complex than has often been assumed by either liberals or historians. Michelle Nickerson‘s book, Mothers of Conservatism: Women and the Postwar Right (Princeton University Press, 2012) expands that literature even further, demonstrating not only the longer roots of conservative interest in family issues, such as education, but also the important role women played in shaping the early movement. Mothers of Conservatism does this by examining the role of women in the rise of grassroots conservatism during the 1950s. Nickerson explains how women in Southern California became politicized during the height of the Cold War, coming to see communist threats in numerous, mostly local, battles. These women, who were primarily homemakers, argued that they had a special political role as mothers and wives, translating their domestic identities into political activism. Nickerson traces their activism in battles over education and mental health issues among others. She further explains the ideology behind their activism and demonstrates how important these women were to shaping the coming conservative movement and in the long-term, the Republican Party. Mothers of Conservatism draws on rich archival material as well as on oral history interviews conducted by the author. With these archival sources and interviews, Nickerson brings the activists’ stories, politics, and humanity to life. In this interview, we discuss the ideology, activism, and legacy of the women as well as Nickerson’s experience interviewing her sources. Learn more about your ad choices.
