Rise of politically active anti-government groups in Florida

The Southern Poverty Law Center has listed Moms for Liberty, a Republican-connected "parents' rights" group, as an "anti-government extremist" organization in its latest Year in Hate & Extremism report. The group opposes teaching about racism, racist history, and LGBTQ+-inclusive policies in public schools and has sought to land members and supporters on school board seats. The SPLC report also warns that hate groups are increasingly targeting schools, with established hate groups like the Proud Boys joining radical parents' groups in attacking public education.
