Tiffany Justice, co-founder of parental rights group Moms for Liberty, expresses deep concern over the potential policies of a Harris-Walz administration, particularly those related to children's gender identity and parental rights.
Tiffany Justice, co-founder of the conservative parental rights group Moms for Liberty, has vehemently criticized the potential Harris-Walz presidential ticket, particularly targeting vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz for his policies that she believes are detrimental to American families.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Justice slammed Walz as "worse than weird" and an "anti-parent radical." She pointed to his support of policies that undermine parental rights in education and facilitate the transition of children to a different gender without parental consent.

According to Justice, Walz's 2023 law that prohibits the prosecution of individuals seeking transgender surgeries or hormone prescriptions in Minnesota has a provision that could result in parents losing custody of their transgender children. Critics have disputed this claim, but Justice maintains that it is a legitimate concern.
Furthermore, Justice criticized Walz's support for laws that allow schools to withhold information from parents regarding their children's gender identity and use of different pronouns. She pointed to a recent law signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom that prohibits school districts from notifying parents about such changes.

Justice expressed particular alarm over the potential impact of Walz's policies on parental rights. She argued that parents should have the primary say in decisions regarding their children's health, education, and upbringing.
Despite the criticism levied by Justice and Moms for Liberty, the Harris campaign has dismissed their claims as "debunked." The New York Times and other fact-checkers have denied that the provision in the Minnesota law allows for the termination of parental custody, citing the absence of any documented cases of this occurring.

However, Justice countered these claims, stating that it is a hypothetical scenario that could potentially play out in reality. She argued that the law's language is ambiguous and could be interpreted to give the state authority over parental rights in cases involving transgender children.
Justice also expressed concern about Kamala Harris's lack of transparency on policy issues, as she has declined to participate in interviews. She believes that Walz's record provides a glimpse into Harris's stance on family-related matters.
In contrast, Justice expressed support for former President Donald Trump, who spoke at the Moms for Liberty Summit. She cited his family's involvement in his businesses and political life as evidence of his commitment to families.
Overall, Justice's critique of the Harris-Walz ticket highlights the growing divide on issues related to parental rights and children's gender identity. The debate is likely to continue as the 2024 presidential election draws closer.
