Every once in a while, MSNBC host Joy Reid grants a platform to a conservative, risking that her audience will faint at the presence of an opposing viewpoint. On Friday night’s edition of The Reidout (aka Freakout), Reid gave time to Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice.
Reid began with a weird exercise in getting Justice to agree that liberal parents have rights to bring up their children as they see fit. (Agreed, duh.)
Then she pulled out a recent Washington Post review of “book challenges,” which found “The majority of the 1,000-plus book challenges analyzed by The Post were filed by just 11 people.” The implication is that somehow this is unrepresentative of public opinion. But it is democratic, in that it challenges decisions made by unelected public-school bureaucrats.
Notice that unelected school librarians are never unrepresentative in…
