Moms for Liberty battles 'extremist' label from civil rights group.

The Charleston County Moms for Liberty chapter has been labeled an extremist, anti-government organization by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in its annual Year in Hate & Extremism Report. The designation puts Moms for Liberty on the same list as neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and anti-LGBTQ+ groups. The SPLC claims the group is anti-teacher, anti-student, and anti-LGBTQ+. However, the group's chairwoman, Tara Wood, denies the allegations and says they are anti-government overreach. The SPLC tracked 30 active groups in South Carolina, and the increase this year is entirely made of the various Moms for Liberty organizations in 15 different counties.
