Florida sex scandal dents credibility of right-wing group Moms for Liberty

Hindustan Times  

The Covid-19 pandemic sparked the rise of ‘Moms for Liberty’, a right-wing group that opposed school closures and mask mandates, and also advocated for policies that critics labeled as anti-L.G.B.T.Q. Sarasota County School Board chair Karen Rose introduces a non-binding resolution asking for the resignation of school board member Bridget Ziegler, who is also co-founder of conservative parents group Moms for Liberty, during a school board meeting in Sarasota, Florida, U.S. December 12, 2023. “Most of our community could not care less what you do in the privacy of your own home, but your hypocrisy takes center stage,” said Sally Sells, a local parent and one of the many speakers who denounced Ms. Ziegler and Moms for Liberty at a heated school board meeting this week. The group suffered a series of defeats in key school board races in 2023, raising doubts about the future of education issues as a driving force in Republican politics.
