The group’s goal, Justice says, is to ensure that “parents have the fundamental right to direct the upbringing of their children.” Critics, however, see the group as a right-wing effort to indoctrinate students and censor what they learn.
The mother of four from Vero Beach, Fla. says her children's elementary school was falling apart. The hallways were flooding. There were rats in the cafeteria. And when she went to the principal with her concerns, she says she was told that nothing could be done.
That’s how Moms for Liberty began. In January 2021, Justice teamed up with a friend from the school board, Tina Descovich, in an effort to galvanize parents to fight back. Since then, the group — which describes itself as nonpartisan and claims 115,000 members — has become a major force in Republican politics.
Moms for Liberty founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich present the Liberty Sword to Governor Ron DeSantis before he speaks during the inaugural Moms For Liberty Summit at the Tampa Marriott Water Street on July 15, 2022 in Tampa, Florida. Critics, however, see the group as a right-wing effort to indoctrinate students and censor what they learn.
