Moms for Liberty categorized as a hate group by police training committee
Moms for Liberty, the parents’ rights organization that rose to prominence for championing more parental involvement in education, was labeled a hate group by a state committee responsible for training police officers.
The Massachusetts Municipal Police Training Committee classified Moms for Liberty as a hate group in its training materials, putting it in the same category as groups such as neo-Nazis and antifa, according to a report from the Daily Wire, which obtained the information through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The MMPTC prepares over 20,000 police officers throughout Massachusetts for their duties as law enforcement officials. This includes developing and delivering “training standards of municipal, MBTA, environmental, UMass, campus police officers, and deputy sheriffs performing police duties and functions.”
“The Municipal Police Training Committee contributes to the safety and security of the Commonwealth’s citizens by establishing training standards for and delivering training to more than 20,000 individuals who serve as police officers throughout the Commonwealth,” the organization’s website reads. “The training ranges from basic training for new officers to mandatory and specialized professional development training for incumbent officers.”
Moms for Liberty was categorized as an “anti-government extremist group,” according to the Daily Wire.
