Right-wing personality Candace Owens traveled to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Orland to host a town hall panel titled, "Pupil Propaganda," and began by talking about bear sex.
Owens went on to explain how male bears sometimes kill and eat their own cubs in order to regain sexual access to female bears. She said it was the origin of the beloved conservative image of the "Mama Bear" and wondered what might be accomplished if conservatives drew greater inspiration from that ursine fight-to-the-death maternal instinct. In the American context, Owens said, it would mean protecting them from a different range of predators, starting with school boards, but also pharmaceutical companies, politicians and bureaucrats "who accept money…to violate our children mentally and even physically; to, without our express consent, masking them, injecting them, sexualizing them through the education system" and teaching them "ideologies of hate" like critical race theory.
