Florida congressional Republicans demanded that the Biden administration answers whether it partnered with the Southern Poverty Law Center to label Moms for Liberty and other parental rights groups as “extremists.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The designation comes after National Security Council counterterrorism director John Picarelli met with SPLC Intelligence Project Director Susan Corke earlier this year, the Florida Republicans, led by Sen. Marco Rubio, wrote in a letter<\/a> Wednesday to Biden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “This meeting raises serious questions as to whether the White House encouraged SPLC to work on behalf of the administration to label parental rights groups and organizations as ‘extremist groups,'” the lawmakers wrote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For years, the Biden administration has been targeting parents<\/a> scrutinizing their children’s education<\/a>, per whistleblowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moms for Liberty, a Florida-based group, is described by the SPLC in its latest review of hate groups as being at the forefront of the parental rights movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
