At the Moms for Liberty national summit here last week, former President Donald Trump fielded questions from Tiffany Justice, co-founder of the conservative parents鈥� rights organization, on a range of issues.

Largely missing from the discussion: education.

Moms for Liberty was founded in 2021 as a response to parental frustrations with schools鈥� COVID policies. In the years since, the group has expanded its agenda to supporting and electing conservative candidates to local school boards.
