A “parental rights” group, Moms for Liberty, has been labeled an extremist group due to its efforts to ban books and stop discussions about race and gender in schools. However, a recent investigation has revealed that Phillip Fisher Jr., a pastor and faith-based outreach leader for the group’s local chapter in Philadelphia, is a registered sex offender.
According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Fisher Jr. was convicted in 2012 for aggravated sexual abuse of a 14-year-old boy. Despite the group’s push to get its candidates in local school boards, Fisher Jr.’s past has been exposed.
Fisher Jr. claims that the conviction was part of a squabble from when he was part of the LaRouche movement back in Chicago. However, the revelation of his past has caused many to question the group’s motives and intentions.
Moms for Liberty has been criticized for its attempts to censor books and discussions about race and gender in schools. The group has also been accused of promoting an agenda that is rooted in white supremacy and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment.
The revelation of Fisher Jr.’s past has raised further questions about the group’s intentions and the legitimacy of its claims. It remains to be seen whether the group will be able to continue its efforts to influence local school boards or if it will be forced to disband.
