Moms For Liberty: who they are, the backwards agenda they're pushing, and how to find them on your ballot.
Most of us agree that schools should be a place where our kids learn everything they need to become the kind of adults who contribute to the future we all want to see. That means learning things like the accurate history of our country and state, empathy and acceptance of people different from them, and having the freedom to discover who they are as an individual and how they fit into the larger picture that makes up our society.
But there is a growing movement of far-right people across the country who want to dismantle our education system by banning books and curriculum about slavery, who want to prevent LGBTQ+ kids from being their authentic selves, and who want to insert religious dogma into every school. It’s all spearheaded by a national group called Moms For Liberty, who’ve been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and they have 10 chapters here in Washington.
Moms For Liberty comes to Washington
Yes, it’s happening here! They are using lies and deception to get themselves elected to school boards and other local offices to take control of the curriculum and to build the power to decide what your kid gets to learn in school.
