Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich slammed the recent decision to label her group “extremist” and “antigovernment” by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
However, she attributed the move to her organization “having so much success and so much progress over the last two years of reclaiming public education and putting parents back in the driver’s seat.
Addressing the listing’s description of her group as a “far-right” and “antigovernment” movement that targets and intimidates teachers and school officials, advances “conspiracy propaganda,” and spreads “hateful imagery and rhetoric against the LGBTQ community,” Descovich responded, “We completely reject that accusation.”
However, she noted the government “has been working for decades to get in between that relationship.”
