One of the nation’s largest parental rights advocacy groups, Moms for Liberty, is now listed as an “anti-government extremist” group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

SPLC, a social justice organization that was founded out of the civil rights era, ranked these moms alongside far-right extremists like the Oath Keepers.

Moms for Liberty has more than 100,000 members in more than 270 chapters in over 40 states. And they aren’t the only parent group on the SPLC listed as anti-government extremists.

To be clear, the SPLC has designated Moms for Liberty as an anti-government extremist group, not a hate group. That is separate from the center’s definition of a hate group.

However, they are a group with some heavy hitters like former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis supporting them.

The SPLC wrote in its annual report, The Year in Hate and Extremism 2022, that the group is, “an anti-student inclusion movement that targets any inclusive curriculum that contains discussions of race, discrimination and LGBTQ identities.”
