High school teacher Olivia Selby was the leader of the Mothers' March for Decency.
This advocacy group was strongly opposed to schools teaching about opposed schools teaching Communism, Atheism, and sex. To further their goals, they conducted a book-burning in Citrusville, Florida.
The Mothers' March for Decency was viewed as a "rebellion against modern education." Selby and the other supporters of this group no doubt regarded their mission as defending traditional, high-quality education against corrosive, immortal, and false new philosophies.
