Indiana Moms for Liberty chapter scrambles to explain why it quoted Hitler in very first newsletter
Moms for Liberty #MomsforLiberty
An Indiana chapter of the right-wing group Moms for Liberty this week scrambled to explain why it led its first-ever newsletter with a quote from mass-murdering Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
As reported by the Indianapolis Star, the Moms for Liberty chapter in Hamilton County, Indiana started off its recent newsletter with a quote from Hitler that stated, “He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future.”
The group, which dedicates itself to getting school libraries to ban books that it finds offensive, posted a clarification about the quote on its Facebook page shortly after the newsletter published.
“The quote from a horrific leader should put parents on alert,” the group said. “If the government has control over our children today, they control our country’s future. We The People must be vigilant and protect children from an overreaching government.”

This latest incident comes days after Vice News reported that assorted Moms for Liberty chapters have been forging links with “extremist groups like the Proud Boys, Three Percenters, sovereign citizen groups, QAnon conspiracist, Christian nationalists, and in one case, with the founder of the AK-47-worshiping Rod of Iron Ministries church in Pennsylvania.”
The group was also recently listed as a “hate group” for the first time ever by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
