Tiffany Justice on Trump’s Proposal to Abolish the Department of Education
Tiffany Justice, co-founder of the parental rights group Moms for Liberty, has been at the forefront of discussions surrounding President-elect Donald Trump‘s recent proposal to abolish the federal Department of Education. In various interviews and public appearances, Justice has expressed strong support for Trump’s initiative, arguing that it aligns with the group’s mission to empower parents in educational decision-making.
Justice emphasized that the abolition of the Department of Education would help in “putting parents back in the driver’s seat” when it comes to their children’s education. She believes that this move would decentralize educational authority, allowing local communities and parents to have more control over educational policies and curriculum.
Moms for Liberty has been active in local elections, particularly in North Carolina, where the group endorsed seven school board candidates in the recent election cycle. Although only two of these candidates were successful, the group’s influence in advocating for parental rights and educational reform remains significant.
Justice’s stance reflects the broader agenda of Moms for Liberty, which focuses on promoting parental involvement and challenging what the group perceives as overreach by federal and state educational authorities. Her comments have sparked both support and criticism, highlighting the contentious nature of the debate surrounding the role of the federal government in education.
