Moms For Liberty Gets A Well-Deserved 'Major Award'

According to one definition, "Moms for Liberty is an American conservative 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that advocates against school curriculums that mention LGBT rights, race, critical race theory, and discrimination, while multiple chapters have also campaigned to ban from school libraries books that address gender and sexuality issues." The group itself says they're just a group of "concerned parents", ignoring or glossing over that they're bankrolled by far right billionaires with their own agendas, which is typical for these type of "grassroots" organizations on the far right. Moms for Liberty founders Tina Descovich and Tiffany Justice responded this way to SPLC's designation: “Name-calling parents who want to be a part of their child’s education as ‘hate groups’ or ‘bigoted’ just further exposes what this battle is all about." Founded by three Florida Republicans, the “social welfare” nonprofit group can engage in political activity without disclosing its financial backers, which is handy when you want to hide what you're doing.
