School boards make decisions that directly impact your child’s safety, data privacy, and educational environment. Parent presence matters.

We will be speaking during public comment and invite any parent with concerns to join us.

The Swimming Lesson Voucher Program has opened its application period until March 20th. Please apply if you have a young child with autism and they are not yet able to survive in the water alone. No place is safe - drownings happen in canals, lakes, ponds, pools, and bathtubs, not just the beach. Don’t rely on flotation devices, floatie wings and the like fail. Survival skills are essential!

Artificial Intelligence in Schools – Safety First

Moms for Liberty announced the launch of its Artificial Intelligence Education Initiative, a comprehensive resource designed to help parents, lawmakers, educators, and families navigate the rapidly expanding use of artificial intelligence in K-12 education while defending parental rights, student privacy, and academic integrity. 

As part of the First Lady’s White House Task Force on AI Education, Moms for Liberty signed the AI Education Pledge, committing to help shape expectations for the responsible advancement of AI in American education. 

That agreement included a commitment to develop tools and resources that empower parents to support innovation in AI education while ensuring children are protected and parental rights are upheld. The AI Education Initiative fulfills that commitment. 

 This campaign calls for citizens and policymakers to unite on safety guardrails for artificial intelligence (AI) use in K-12 education to protect children while championing innovation and defending parental rights. The resources within this initiative function as a toolkit for parents, and include model legislation, school board policies, parental rights pledges, and guidance documents that establish guardrails to ensure AI remains a tool under human oversight, not an authority over children’s education.

“Artificial intelligence is already here for our children, whether parents are ready or not,” said Tina Descovich, CEO and Co-Founder of Moms for Liberty. “This campaign is about making sure parents, not bureaucrats, corporations, or algorithms, hold the keys to the AI toolbox. We support innovation, but innovation without boundaries puts children at risk. Parents deserve transparency, consent, and real control when it comes to how AI interacts with their kids.” 

The initiative reflects Moms for Liberty’s core principles that: 

  • Parents have a fundamental right to direct their children’s education. 
  • AI must never replace teachers in core instruction or grading. 
  • Student data belongs to students and parents, not schools or vendors. 
  • AI must not be used for social-emotional learning, psychological profiling, or mental health services. 
  • Transparency and accountability are essential when emerging technologies involve minors. 

“Our message is simple,” Descovich added. “Technology must serve families. Our children will be raised by parents, not by algorithms.” 

 These resources are now available to parents, policymakers, educators, and community leaders seeking practical, ready-to-use tools to address AI in education at the local, state, and national level. You may view the documents by clicking HERE.
