What happens when you combine gamergate and yelling at local elected officials? You get something akin to Moms For Liberty. The nonprofit bills itself as a parental rights organization and grew to hundreds of chapters over the past three years. Though many victims have claimed that the group pushes its agenda through harassment and intimidation, they say they just care about ethics in school curriculums. To help get a better sense of what Moms For Liberty is really about, we spoke to Vice News reporter David Gilbert. He spoke to people targeted by Moms For Liberty for his report "A Far-Right Moms Group Is Terrorizing Schools in the Name of Protecting Kids.”
