Moms for Liberty has been designated as an extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
In a statement, Moms for Liberty co-founders, Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich, criticized the SPLC's report.
“Two-thirds of Americans think the public education system is on the wrong track today. That is why our organization is devoted to empowering parents to be a part of their child’s public school education. That is our fundamental goal, which began just two years ago when teacher’s unions locked students out of schools during the pandemic," the statement read.
In 2022 SPLC tracked 702 total antigovernment extremist groups up from 488 in 2021. This means 214 groups were added in one year. SPLC says most are anti-student inclusion and sovereign citizen entities. “We believe that the very first step in addressing these threats — white supremacy, white nationalism and other forms of anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrate hate — is to identify them, track, expose them so that then our government can take steps to make sure they stop being a threat to our society,” Olivares said.
SPLC documented 1,225 active hate and antigovernment extremist groups across the U.S. in 2022, 89 of the groups are from Florida.
