The Mixed Messaging of Moms for Liberty
The Mixed Messaging of Moms for Liberty
A Multi-part Examination
What’s the primary message of Moms for Liberty?
Moms for Liberty claim to want to empower parents and curtail government overreach.
Which parents?
What government overreach?
The answers to these questions are partially revealed by the tactics and statements of the group.
In the late spring/early summer of this year, an Indiana chapter of the organization received international attention for their use of an Adolf Hitler quote on the frontpage of their newsletter.
There was a dubious explanation offered for the use of the quote.
The chapter later apologized and a Hitler quoteless version of the newsletter was published.
Notice that in the original publication the quote appears directly above the statement, “Moms for Liberty will not be be(sic) intimidated by hate groups.”
Interesting.
Was this the only instance Moms for Liberty quoting Hitler?
According to Vice, apparently not.
Also note the first item listed under “In This Issue” is “A Class in Biblical Citizenship.”
Is this inviting to all parents?
