Moms for Liberty Calls Out False Allegations By “Girls Who Code” Author
MELBOURNE, FLORIDA - The nationwide advocacy group for the empowerment of parents, Moms for Liberty, is responding to the false allegations made by Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani in the Business Insider article that Moms for Liberty was responsible for ‘banning’ her books from a Pennsylvania school district.
Co-Founders Tina Descovich and Tiffany Justice respond, “The allegations that Moms for Liberty has worked to ban “Girls Who Code” are completely false. Furthermore, the Central York school district has confirmed the book is currently sitting on library shelves. Where are we in this country when the media can publish an article without even fact-checking with the district and quote an author who lies and villainizes concerned parents to sell more copies of her books? Moms for Liberty will continue to fight for fundamental parental rights because curating age-appropriate content for a school library is not banning books, it is empowering parents to be involved in their children's education. “
Tina and Tiffany say this claim is completely false and there is no evidence that any Moms for Liberty Chapter requested for this book to be reviewed from any public school library. The Central York School District confirmed via email that, “the information published in this article is categorically false. This book has not been banned, and they remain available in our libraries.”
Moms for Liberty will continue to fight for parental rights at all levels of the government and hold that curating age-appropriate content for a school library is not banning books.
