Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed a co-founder of Moms for Liberty, a āparental rightsā group that has sought to take over school boards in multiple states, to the Florida Commission on Ethics on Wednesday.
Tina Descovich was named to the nine-member, Tallahassee-based commission, which investigates alleged breaches of public trust by elected and appointed officials, as well as state employees.
The groupās support for school choice and the āfundamental rights of parentsā to direct their childrenās education has also drawn allies such as the conservative Heritage Foundation.
Moms for Liberty has been labeled an āextremistā organization by the Southern Poverty Law Center for allegedly harassing community members, advancing anti-LGBTQ+ misinformation and fighting to scrub diverse and inclusive material from lesson plans.
Iāll never understand how people can be excited for moves like this. Historically this doesnāt end well and is bad news.
Thatās the thing: they donāt think.
The people excited for moves like this know the same history, and they liked what they saw. Like, really, really liked it. They spend their entire lives seeking whatever the polar opposite of Utopia is, and theyāre doing it harder than anyone seeking Utopia.
Itās dystopia.
