Jennifer Grimm’s original social media hit FOR THE RECORD plays below. A ‘Mad Mom March’ for the ages, letting all who listen understand that we know the difference between ‘righteous anger and unadulterated hate’ and we are teaching our children to be able to distinguish between the two.  Those who stand for green and greed are on their way out as we raise the next generation of critical thinkers.
