In October 2022, Mary MacCudden, a former teacher in the Mequon-Thiensville School District, sued Moms for Liberty Ozaukee County Chair Scarlett Johnson for defamation.
Johnson had posted a screenshot of MacCudden's LinkedIn profile, questioning the latter's role as a "Social Justice Coordinator" in the school district and using terms including “bully,” “lunatic," “woke” and "white savior" to describe MacCudden, according to court records. At the time of the posts, MacCudden was no longer working at the school district.
