Moms for Liberty held an event Thursday to teach more than 100 people about home schooling - as parents tell News 12 that they don't want their kids to wear a mask in school.

It was held at the VFW Hall in Farmingdale. The organization says more people are now considering home schooling because of the possibility that masks will be mandated in schools this September.
