Moms for Liberty Town Hall in NYC Sparks Protests

The conservative education group discussed the state of education in New York City, attracting criticism and protests from left-wing groups and local representatives.

Moms for Liberty, a conservative education organization, held a town hall in New York City to discuss the state of education in the city, attracting protests from left-wing groups and local representatives.
The group has been criticized for its stance on LGBTQ+ rights, book bans, and its opposition to teaching about race in schools, with the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling it a 'far-right extremist organization'.
Speakers at the event criticized the New York City school system for its poor return on education investment, misguided focus on identity over merit, and the shift away from building character to a focus on group identity.
Corey DeAngelis, executive director of the Education Freedom Institute, suggested policy solutions such as funding students instead of systems, and allowing parents to directly pay for the education they want for their child.
Despite the protests and criticism, Moms for Liberty continues to gain national prominence and is working to establish a presence in more Democratic-leaning states.
