Rhode Island mother Laurie Gaddis Barrett has testified at so many legislative hearings that she has to pause to remember which one I’m asking her about. And when I ask her why the message she just texted me is written in legalese, she says she’s spent so much time talking to lawyers, she’s beginning to sound like one herself. (I almost suggested she should consider going to law school, but they’re woke now, too.) With all she has learned this past year, she could be teaching civics. For Barrett, fighting for parents' rights has been transformative—and nearly a full-time job. But it wasn’t always.

Trinity Repertory is a professional theater company in Providence, Rhode Island. They recently returned to live performances with a production of 'A Christmas Carol' based on the story by Charles Dickens. The Providence Journal had some issues with the 'woke' aspects of the production in its review, and the company is not happy about it.
