Moms for Liberty Defends Hitler Quote in Newsletter Before Removing It

Moms for Liberty, a far-right organization that claims to advocate for parental rights in education and was recently labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors extremism, has apologized for prominently using an Adolf Hitler quote in an Indiana chapter’s inaugural newsletter.

Earlier this week, the Hamilton County chapter of the group shared a revised version of its newsletter, “The Parent Brigade,” after previously sharing (and defending) one featuring the Hitler quote, the Associated Press reports.

...In the newsletter’s first edition, Hitler was quoted saying, “He who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future.” The quote appears to have originated from one of Hitler’s 1935 rally speeches, but that is uncertain.

...“It’s disappointing but not surprising that the largest anti-student inclusion movement organization has allegedly used a quote from one of the appalling figureheads in history,” said Rachel Carroll Rivas, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s deputy director for research, reporting, and analysis.


And WTF?
As reported by the Associated Press, other candidates are being considered, including Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who promotes anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and who recently said that AIDS was caused by poppers and that children who are transgender girls are the product of exposure to herbicides.

I don't remember where, but I read somewhere that that was not a period song of that era.
