Moms for Liberty's focus on school races nationwide sets up political clash with teachers unions [View all]
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Moms for Liberty, a parental rights group that has sought to take over school boards in multiple states, is looking to expand those efforts across the country and to other education posts in 2024 and beyond. The effort is setting up a clash with teachers unions and others on the left who view the group as a toxic presence in public schools.
The groups co-founder, Tiffany Justice, said during its annual summit over the weekend in Philadelphia that Moms for Liberty will use its political action committee next year to engage in school board races nationwide. It also will start endorsing at the state board level and elected superintendents.
Her comments confirm that Moms for Liberty, which has spent its first two years inflaming school board meetings with aggressive complaints about instruction on systemic racism and gender identity in the classroom, is developing a larger strategy to overhaul education infrastructure across the country.
As the group has amassed widespread conservative support and donor funding, its focus on education ensures that even as voters turn their attention to the 2024 presidential race, school board elections will remain some of the most contentious political fights next year.

This is scary. Moms For Liberty is a terrorist organization with very evil intentions. They are behind the book bans and an effort to turn public education institutions into MAGA religious white supremacist indoctrination centers. We have to run our people against these psychos. We can't let these MAGA terrorists win.
