A chorus of mostly white women sang the gospel song We Shall Overcome in the California State Capitol, an anthem of the civil rights movement. Mothers rallied outside the governor's office and marched through Capitol corridors chanting No segregation, no discrimination, yes on education for all!" Some wore T-shirts that read Freedom Keepers."

But this wasn't about racial equality. In the nation's most diverse state, protesters opposed to childhood vaccine mandates many from affluent coastal areas had co-opted the civil rights mantle from the 1960s, insisting that their plight is comparable to what African Americans have suffered from segregationist policies.

I remember when anti-vaccine people were being sprayed by hoses, beaten by police, and had dogs sicced on them.

It would make more sense to compare anti-vaccine people's kids to Emmett Till.

This begs the question, what did civil rights advocates liken themselves too?

My mind is an open book, do you find it entertaining? At least be original in your responses then.

Now instead of disorderly conduct, can we arrest them for child abuse?
