Alexandra Bougher on school choice, education reform, and Moms for Liberty.","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":3511,"description":"Moms are not supposed to stay quiet, and Alexandra Bougher is proving exactly why. From COVID-era school confusion to mask fights, curriculum battles, and the push to strip parents of basic rights, this conversation lays out what happens when families stop paying attention - and what it takes to take that power back.\nTMB talks with Alexandra Bougher, New Jersey ambassador for Moms for Liberty and a contributor on Newsmax and Fox News, about the moment she realized school wasn’t just about academics anymore. What started as a normal parent experience turned into a crash course in homeschooling, school board politics, and the fight over who gets to shape children’s minds.\nYou'll discover:\nWhy COVID woke up so many parents to what was really happening in schools\nHow classroom culture, screens, and “credentialed” authority can fail kids\nWhy homeschooling, trade schools, and school choice are becoming urgent alternatives\nHow bad policies, teacher unions, and political agendas are affecting families\nWhat parents can do right now to get informed, show up, and protect their kids\nAlexandra breaks down the larger stakes behind education, from literacy and critical thinking to online harms like sextortion and AI abuse. She also explains why so many parents feel intimidated, and how simple tools like opt-out forms, curriculum review, and board of education attendance can change everything.\nTiffany and Alexandra also make the case that motherhood should be seen as strong, smart, and culturally powerful - not dismissive, not passive, and definitely not invisible. If you’re a parent, future parent, or anyone who cares about the next generation, this episode is a wake-up call.\nEssential listening if you want to understand why the fight for kids starts with the adults willing to show up for them.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/fqguuXVwFp4XqIEZj661kYwVmf4zfAC6hahHt8xyZ7I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mN2Yy/NzY5NmIwM2E4YThl/NmE1NWQ3NjgxOTE1/OGZiOC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
