The Southern Poverty Law Center has listed Moms for Liberty, a Republican-connected "parents' rights" group, as an "anti-government extremist" organization in its latest Year in Hate & Extremism report. The group opposes teaching about racism, racist history, and LGBTQ+-inclusive policies in public schools and has sought to land members and supporters on school board seats.
