Moms for Liberty is suing the U.S. Department of Education over the Biden Administration’s new Title IX regulations that protect transgender students—and they’ve listed a series of scenarios where they claim the rule would “irreparably harm” their members’ children and violate their Christian beliefs.

Among their listed anxieties: A high-school athlete in Pennsylvania would be banned from sharing her views on a local transgender coach using girls’ locker rooms, and a Kansas college activist couldn’t host an anti-trans talk by right-wing provocateur Matt Walsh or write sidewalk chalk messages like “Men are not women.”

The national extremist group joins about two-dozen Republican-led states waging legal battles to stop the new LGBTQ protections to the landmark education law from going into effect, arguing safety, privacy, freedom of speech and religious liberty are at stake.

Co-plaintiffs in Moms for Liberty’s complaint, which was filed Tuesday in Kansas federal court, include the states of Kansas, Alaska, Utah, and Wyoming, as well as Young America’s Foundation, a nonprofit for young conservatives, and a lesser-known group called Female Athletes United. An Oklahoma middle-schooler, identified only as “K.R.,” also tacked their name onto the lawsuit.

1. I'm waiting for ...

"Trans Kids Sue for Protection from Ironically Named Moms for Liberty"

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Since they are now consistently being voted out and removed from school boards nationwide

they have to find some other thing to do to get attention.

2. Libery biberty.

[Timeflyer]

3. Why are their "Christian values" and their children the only ones they worry about harming?

Bullies, with financial backing from some heinous conservatives.

[Ford_Prefect]

5. They have no standing to bring suit nor to join one. They are an Astro--Turf RW front group representing Charles Koch

and Leonard Leo.

6. Their Right to Hate in the Name of Christ is more important than other people's Right to Live.

Just like Jesus taught us.

7. Should Be Renamed...

Nazi Women for Fascism.

Or, spitballing here:

Females for Fascism? Or FFF for short.

[Diamond_Dog]

8. Religious Freedom For Me Only.

9. Oh, so now these fanatics are in favor of privacy.

They certainly aren't in favor of privacy when it comes to women having life or death control over our bodies through our choice of medical care.

these Moms are against liberty. They want fascist control over others just trying to live life.

11. Now if those trans kids paid a porn star for sex...

… THAT would be OK.

Just like the Bible tells us.

12. I Thought Their Membership Was Plummetting

Even some of their own members have lost interest in what they have to say.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. It is

and they are being voted out of school boards and removed from leadership positions left and right - https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/03/us/moms-for-liberty-scandal-opposition/index.html

This astroturf organization (like the teabaggers) have had to find some kind of relevancy somewhere else.

[NanaCat]

14. They should change their name to

Traitor Trash for Impunity.

Because they aren't worthy of calling themselves Moms, and they don't have the faintest clue what Liberty is.

15. Hitler-quoting Moms for Threesomes sez what?

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. Has this clamor of harpies never considered the incongruity of their organization's name?

I have never read ANYTHING about them that has the aim of increasing the liberty of any people whatsoever that aren't them.
