I would suggest it was parents like the chairman of the Florida Republican party (go back and read his initial press release), Republican members of Congress who played their own "I'm a parent" card, and the bloggers/infotainers (not media) on the right...who collectively attempted to make this "non-issue" a partisan issue.
