The co-founder of the grassroots parent organization Moms for Liberty says the Southern Poverty Law Center has "painted a target" on the backs of parents by labeling her organization an extremist hate group.
The SPLC added several parental rights groups, such as Moms for Liberty and Parents Defending Education, to its "hate map" after it released its "The Year in Hate and Extremism" report for 2022. The map labels the parent groups as "anti-government."
Tiffany Justice, the co-founder of Moms for Liberty, told the Washington Examiner in an interview that her organization's inclusion in the map and report was "insulting" and "absurd" and could have safety implications for the organization's thousands of members.
"They just painted a target on our backs," Justice said of the Southern Poverty Law Center. "They painted it on the backs of American moms and dads."
