Moms for Liberty

Yergz begins talking about Moms for Liberty, by first congratulating the audience for taking the initiative to educate themselves on extremism. He then goes on to tell you about his background, starting at Penn State University, bodyguard school, police academy in Reading, PA, and ultimately the US Secret Service at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), the Rowley Training Center in Beltsville, MD and his credentials identifying him as a Special Agent.

Next, Yergz tells you about how Extremist Groups operate. They are clandestine organizations and don't openly tell you about their discriminatory policies and practices. Many of the members and political candidates are of a fascist mindset and don't even know it! The methodology and intentions are exactly like famous fascist leaders, such as Hitler, right down to banning books and "maintaining freedom."

Parents for Pride is a counter-organization that has not yet been labeled as a similar type of organization. Point being: You, as a viewer, are not the only one resisting the efforts of Moms for Liberty.

Moms for Liberty is a conservative Political Action Committee (PAC), that advocates against school curriculums that mention LGBTQ Rights, Race and Ethnicity, Critical Race Theory (CRT), and Discrimination.

Chapters have also campaigned to ban books, especially those discussing gender and sexuality. Founded in 2021, in Florida, by ousted school board members, to campaign against COVID-19 protection measures, causing Florida to actually be not only a political hotbed, but literally a viral one.

Moms for Liberty is very influential and entrenched in the Republican Party. The group has been endorsed by then President Donald Trump, and has moved on to endorse political candidates themselves, such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Though Moms for Liberty claims to only "support" political candidates, the money spent on such "support" would easily be considered and actual endorsement by any reasonable person.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has labeled Moms for Liberty as a "Hate Group." The SPLC has accused the Moms for Liberty of advocating for anti-inclusive activities and book bans, though this is denied by Moms for Liberty. Some of the key beliefs are Parental Control. Moms for Liberty is against Critical Race Theory, a 40 year old educational theory. Moms for Liberty is against having books that show gender and sexuality, and COVID-19 protections.

Moms for Liberty influences school boards by organizing and training parents for attending school board meetings, develop speaking skills, and to learn the political process. But what is not told, is how Moms for Liberty also pushes on these parents the Moms for Liberty agenda. What appears to be nice, turns out to be otherwise. Moms for Liberty campaigns for some, and against other school board candidates. While they claim to simply "support" candidates, professionally done flyers are done, by Moms for Liberty, "supporting" specific candidates. This is an ENDORSEMENT. And as such, their "support" is misleading. They also work to defeat candidates that are not aligned with the Moms for Liberty agenda. Again, further "supporting" the pro-Moms for Liberty candidates.

Moms for Liberty has also filed lawsuits against school districts in several states over the above issues. They lobby state and federal law makers to pass legislation that is aligned with the Moms for Liberty agenda. Moms for Liberty is also active on Facebook, Twitter and InstaGram. They are active in several states with their activities.
