Year in Review: Grassroots parents group became a political force in 2022 to oust status quo school boards

Published



A grassroots parent group seeking to delete critical race theory from schools has now expanded into a national political force to be reckoned with, as half its 500 candidates took seats on school boards.

“It’s a parent revolution,” said Tiffany Justice, cofounder of Moms for Liberty. “You have a whole new group of people entering into government and politics, these are normal people who have lives and families. They genuinely care about our country and want to serve. It’s an exciting time to be an American.”
