---

Moms for Liberty, a nonprofit claiming to advocate for "parental rights," appears to be using parents as pawns to advance a far-right agenda.

The group — which has quickly gained substantial media attention, becoming a right-wing sweetheart and mainstream spectacle — has attempted to paint itself as a grassroots entity driven entirely by passionate parents. But in reality, it benefits from right-wing funding and ties to traditional Republican political figures.

As issues related to parents, schools, and so-called "critical race theory" drive local organizing and elections, it is essential that media report on Moms for Liberty and similar groups with the appropriate context.
