Florida school board approves resolution calling for Bridget Ziegler to resign over Republican sex scandal

“SARASOTA, Fla. — As the Sarasota County School Board convened for the final time this year on Tuesday, Bridget Ziegler entered the board chambers facing a rift largely driven by agenda item No. 1: a colleague’s resolution calling for her resignation.

Despite Ziegler’s four board colleagues voting to call for her to resign and hours of public comment mostly urging her to do so, there was no indication she was considering stepping down.

The rising demands for her resignation came amid emerging details of her involvement in a three-way sexual relationship, which became public as a sexual assault investigation into her husband, Christian Ziegler unfolded.”

Moms for Liberty is the most high-profile new group to emerge from the emotionally-charged debates around recent school policies, particularly COVID-19 safety measures.

M4L hosted a national conference in Tampa, Florida that featured groups including Turning Point USA, the Leadership Institute, and Heritage Action. NBC reports attendees logged in to Wi-Fi networks titled “We Beat School Boards” and “Don’t Teach Gender ID” at the conference.

Ron DeSantis and Sen. Rick Scott also spoke at the event.[7]

Publix Heiress Is First to Donate to M4L PAC

Daughter of the Publix Super Markets founder Julie Fancelli donated $50,000 to the Moms for Liberty PAC. According to campaign finance records, hers was the first contribution. Fancelli was one of the largest financial supporters of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. M4L then sent 35 school board candidates across Florida $250 grants to campaign. Many of the candidates were endorsed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.[8]

Heritage Foundation Awards M4L Citizenship Award

The Heritage Foundation awarded its 2022 Salvatori Prize for American Citizenship to Moms for Liberty, with Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts saying in a statement, “Loving, hardworking parents make our country the greatest nation in the history of the world, yet the radical left is openly trying to undermine the presence and power of parents across our country…When conservatives stand together with parents, we will win the battles on the most fundamental issue– the centrality of the family to human flourishing.” The award, which is given annually by the Heritage Foundation, is given to an individual or organization “that embodies and advances the virtues of the American Founding”, and Tucker Carlson, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, and former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson are some of the previous recipients.[9]

Unmasking Moms for Liberty

““Parental rights” means strategically harassing public schools”

“Funding: more than just T-shirt sales”

“Moms for Liberty has serious GOP connections”

“Other right-wing and far-right affiliations”

“Moms for Liberty regularly boosts the Heritage Foundation”

“Becoming right-wing media sweethearts”

“The group, which was formed in January 2021, garnered support from large conservative media outlets, such as The Rush Limbaugh ShowFox News and Steve Bannon’s War Room, which quickly boosted the start-up but raised suspicion about the validity of the group’s grassroots identity.[3]

M4L has also formed an alliance with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who attended their inaugural summit and was presented with “The Sword of Liberty” by the M4L co-founders. M4L is quick to support DeSantis’ initiatives, and in return he has aligned himself with the operation.[4]

Key issues concerning M4L include combatting critical race theory, mask mandates and gender identity and sexuality education.

M4L also formed a SuperPAC called Moms for Liberty Action, as well as two other political action committees.[1]
