As a reminder APE is the group that Miranda founded and led.
It only takes a couple of clicks to see the connection between APE and this right wing group -

Well. APE really walked right into this one. Thanks for highlighting this, PP.
Tell us again that you're not a MAGA right wing org, APE!
Are you serious? I can't stand the IWF, but why wouldn't APE highlight a congressional hearing with bipartisan "consensus that from all the witnesses and Members of Congress that school closures had led to learning loss and negative mental health effects that are still present today, and the fundamental importance of keeping schools open." That's the point of this whole thing, not to promote some rightwinger.
They don't control who congress invites as witnesses and they don't even mention her name despite sharing her comments about APE's work. But they do name and draw attention to quotes from two other witnesses. Seems like a fair summary of what happened in a congressional hearing where APE was mentioned.
Link to it so others can determine for themselves
