The local anti-mask/vax mom movement is funded by places like Fox and dark money astroturf groups like Moms for Liberty and Independent Womens Forum. Karen is a huge supporter of them and a big voice against public schools in favor of charter schools.

I honestly think she was critical of school closures and got stuck aligning with people she’d ordinarily not because the issue was so polarized.
