The Daily Signal's Rob Bluey sits down with Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty and leader of The Heritage Foundation's Parental Rights Initiative, to discuss the growing movement of parental involvement in education.

  • Justice shares her personal journey from being a stay-at-home mom to running for school board in 2016, which allowed her to "see behind the education curtain"
  • The founding of Moms for Liberty in January 2021 as a response to parents' frustrations during COVID-19 school closures
  • How unions have historically dominated school board meetings and why parent attendance is crucial for balancing educational priorities
  • Success stories of parents transitioning from local school board activism to state legislative roles
  • How universal school choice initiatives and education savings accounts put educational decisions back in parents' hands
  • Updates on the Heritage's new Parental Rights Initiative and efforts to bring together various organizations across partisan lines
  • How parental rights issues have impacted recent elections, including Glenn Youngkin's gubernatorial victory in Virginia
  • An assessment of the Trump administration's early actions on parental rights, including protecting girls' sports and Education Secretary Linda McMahon
  • Practical advice for concerned parents: get involved locally, run for office, build relationships with teachers, and watch for the upcoming Parental Rights Network

The COVID pandemic transformed many previously nonpolitical parents into advocates for education freedom. Listen to learn about the ongoing efforts to codify parental rights protections at local, state, and federal levels.
