When confronted with basic questions on “60 Minutes,” the group appeared ill-prepared and stumped and alleged their critics were trying to “marginalize us.”
Since its founding in 2021, the conservative organization Moms for Liberty has billed itself as a champion for “parents’ rights,” pushing campaigns across the country to ban books and the use of pronouns in schools. Their crusade, as my colleague Kiera Butler has reported, often alleges that educators, specifically in public education, are out to “groom” and “indoctrinate” kids.
But what, exactly, does that mean? It doesn’t appear as though Moms for Liberty knows either.
In an interview with 60 Minutes host Scott Pelley that aired on Sunday night, the group’s two co-founders repeatedly struggled to explain their platform beyond empty talking points that have fueled the culture war in schools. They also failed to present facts to back up various claims.
she’s definitely not a lefty. she had a pretty good grift being the “liberal who went to a trump rally and found out they werent all monsters” or something. did a media circuit and fell into relative obscurity.
she stirs a lot of drama now. i can’t say that all or even most of her content is worth watching, but she does watch actual leftist seminars and then does her shitty commentary. by shitty i just mean “i disagree”. i’d say usually,she’s knowledgable about the topics.
