Texas Family Defense Committee invites you to a presentation by Tracy Shannon, a researcher and activist in what she terms the “neo-morality movement.” Tracy joins us at the Myrtle Wilks Community Center, 1498 West I 20 in Cisco, on Thursday, February 23. Doors open at 5:30; program begins at 6:00 p.m. Tracy Shannon has studied what she calls the “neo-morality movement” for 20 years. Her family was profoundly impacted by the transgender movement many years ago, and that moved Tracy from the sidelines (merely protecting her own children from being inducted into “new” sexual mores) and onto the battlefront in the culture wars.
