Adolf Hitler Quoted in Newsletter

In a recent newsletter from the Indiana chapter of Moms for Liberty, it was discovered that the group had quoted Adolf Hitler in its inaugural newsletter. In the first version of the letter, it included the quote, “‘He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future,’ and cited Hitler. While the origin of the quote is not entirely clear, it has been attributed in numerous historical texts to a 1935 rally speech by the Nazi leader.” While the group later came out and condemned the use of the quote Rachel Carroll Rivas, deputy director of research, reporting, and analysis for the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, stated,”It’s disappointing, but not surprising, that the largest anti-student inclusion movement organization has allegedly used a quote from one of the appalling figureheads in history,.” [6]

M4L Twitter Account Suspended over ‘Hateful Conduct’

Commenting on the California “gender-affirming healthcare” bill, M4L posted a Tweet reading, “Gender dysphoria is a mental health disorder that is being normalized by predators across the USA. California kids are at extreme risk from predatory adults. Now they want to ‘liberate’ children all over the country. Does a double mastectomy on a preteen sound like progress?”[7] M4L co-founder Tina Descovich told Fox News, “We’ve appealed the tweet. We’ve decided that Twitter hates truth because gender dysphoria is a mental health issue that’s plaguing our children across the country right now. It’s something that needs to be discussed and addressed, and certainly it needs to be discussed in the town square of Twitter. But Twitter is against truth.”[8]

Publix Heiress Is First to Donate to M4L PAC

Daughter of the Publix Super Markets founder Julie Fancelli donated $50,000 to the Moms for Liberty PAC. According to campaign finance records, hers was the first contribution. Fancelli was one of the largest financial supporters of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. M4L then sent 35 school board candidates across Florida $250 grants to campaign. Many of the candidates were endorsed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.[10]

Heritage Foundation Awards M4L Citizenship Award

The Heritage Foundation awarded its 2022 Salvatori Prize for American Citizenship to Moms for Liberty, with Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts saying in a statement, “Loving, hardworking parents make our country the greatest nation in the history of the world, yet the radical left is openly trying to undermine the presence and power of parents across our country…When conservatives stand together with parents, we will win the battles on the most fundamental issue– the centrality of the family to human flourishing.” The award, which is given annually by the Heritage Foundation, is given to an individual or organization “that embodies and advances the virtues of the American Founding”, and Tucker Carlson, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, and former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson are some of the previous recipients.[11]

M4L Partners with Parents Defending Education

M4L, along with Parents Defending Education and 27 other organizations sent a letter to Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona in opposition to Title IX changes and the inclusion of gender identity language into the regulations. In the letter, they contested “the prohibition against discrimination on the basis of ‘gender identity’.” They write, “Who is now male and female? Anyone can be anything they want– an individual may simply ‘identify’ as one, or none, or one of an ever-expanding menu of ‘gender identities’ promoted by activists.”[12]
