Moms For Liberty Co-Founder Wants To Be Trump’s Education Secretary: “I Would Be Honored To Serve”

September 26, 2024 Extremists, Hate Groups

Education Week reports:

Tiffany Justice, the co-founder of Moms for Liberty, is interested in serving as former President Donald Trump’s education secretary—or in another key position—should he win a second term. “I would be honored to serve,” Justice said in an interview with Education Week. “I’m open to serving in whatever capacity the president wants me to serve, whether that’s more broadly domestic policy, or if it’s focused on education.”

Justice interviewed the former president onstage at Moms for Liberty’s Joyful Warriors summit in Washington last month. “She’s as much in the mix as anyone, to the extent that this is even being discussed right now,” said one former Republican congressional staffer who spoke anonymously about Justice’s chances. While formal vetting hasn’t started, Justice certainly “fits the bill on the education agenda,” the former staffer said.

A reminder from a June 2024 report:

During her one term on the Indian River County, Florida, school board, Justice acted to “intimidate” the African American Achievement committee, according to the board’s vice-chair. Vero News also reported that “Justice regularly provoked conflict and stirred controversy” and “proved she was ill-equipped” for serving on the board.

Justice’s toxicity continued after her term ended. Following a calamitous visit to her child’s school, a teacher complained of Justice’s “constant threatening and bullying tactics.” The school district investigated and, as Vero News reported, “School Superintendent David Moore warned she could be barred from the campus.”

Justice doesn’t shy away from taking a stand in support of extremists rhetoric. In a statement she delivered at the 2023 M4L national summit, Justice said, “One of our moms in a newsletter quotes Hitler. I stand with that mom.”

Just yesterday Trump repeated his vow to dismantle the Department of Education entirely, something he failed to accomplish during his term even with far-right anti-public schools billionaire Betsy DeVos heading the agency.
