Moms for Liberty: Rising Influence and Political Clash with Teachers Unions
Moms for Liberty, a conservative "parental rights" group, plans to expand its efforts to take over school boards and other education posts nationwide in 2024 and beyond, setting up a clash with teachers unions and left-leaning groups. The group, known for its opposition to instruction on systemic racism and gender identity, aims to overhaul the education system and has gained support from prominent Republicans. While it has had mixed success in getting its preferred candidates elected, focusing on state-level races could increase its influence. However, it may face opposition from grassroots groups and voters who disagree with its vision of public education.
