Moms For Liberty

Since its founding in 2021, Moms for Liberty has amassed vigorous support from some conservatives who support its efforts to target references to race and LGBTQ+ identity in schools across the country.

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the appointment Wednesday of Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich.

The books include the novels “Push” which inspired the Oscar-winning movie “Precious.” Also taken out of the libraries of SAIL and Lincoln High: “Me, Earl and the Dying Girl,” which was also made into a film. The novels "Dead End,” "Doomed” and “Lucky” are also out.

As the group has amassed widespread conservative support and donor funding, its focus on education ensures that school board elections will remain some of the most contentious political fights next year.

Gov. Ron DeSantis says that 2024 will be the year that parents “finally fight back” as he kicks off an annual gathering of Moms for Liberty that is drawing top GOP candidates.

At least four Republican presidential candidates are scheduled to speak at the annual gathering of Moms for Liberty, a Florida-based nonprofit that didn't exist in 2020 but that has become a power player in conservative politics ahead of the 2024 elections.

As the influence of Moms for Liberty grows in some school districts and conservative political circles, the SPLC compares the group's agenda to segregationist efforts of an earlier era.

Removing a book from school libraries, classroom indoctrination, and the future of its superintendent were the main points of contention in a Hernando County School Board meeting Tuesday night that lasted over eight hours.

Raegan Miller said local school officials' process to remove Amanda Gorman's poem, along with several books, lacked transparency and amounted to censorship.

Tom Edwards says his opposition to the law that restricts classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity, and to the state's school voucher expansion program, has made him a target for his conservative opponents.

A new report from the American Library Association says attempted bans on books, and restrictions at school and public libraries, continue to surge.

A Florida Senate cost estimate to create what’s called “universal choice” for Florida’s school voucher program has put the bill at $646 million.
