Moms for Liberty Hosted a Town Hall in NYC About Its Failing Schools. Here’s What I Saw.

Moms for Liberty held an event in New York City on Thursday night to discuss and diagnose the woeful state of education in the Big Apple.

Residents and local representatives were invited to take part in the education organization’s town hall on the Upper East Side and the follow-up discussion.

Moms for Liberty has been treated with hostility by left-wing groups in the city, so it was a full house for the event—not just inside the building, but outside, too.

Moms for Liberty held an event in New York City on Thursday night to discuss and diagnose the woeful state of education in the Big Apple.

Residents and local representatives were invited to take part in the education organization’s town hall on the Upper East Side and the follow-up discussion.

Moms for Liberty has been treated with hostility by left-wing groups in the city, so it was a full house for the event—not just inside the building, but outside, too.

A gaggle of protesters showed up to crowd the front of the building and chant slogans. The New York Police Department kept watch at the entrance and helpfully guided me to the door.

The protesters held up a large sign, “Keep NYC Fascist-Free!”, as they blockaded the door and yelled at the people going inside.

One of the speakers at the outside protest, who was invited to speak at the event inside, was Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine.

“This group is anti-LGBTQ, supports book bans, harasses teachers & school librarians, and has been labeled by [the Southern Poverty Law Center] a ‘far-right extremist organization,’” Levine wrote in a statement before the event took place.
