1/Amy Krebs (changed fb name to Amelia HK) is one of the more vile parents against equity in Rockwood. When I oppose book banning/limiting kid’s learning, I’m called pro-rape/incest/molestation.

Speaking as someone who was brutally raped at 16, those accusations hit different

2/ It’s sad when people like Amy Krebs throw these words around w/o a second thought. I suppose it’s safe to assume that she’s never been sexually assaulted w/ a loaded gun held to her head. People need to be willing to see the world beyond the tip of their nose. (Also Krebs👇🏻)

3/ That’s why we’re in this awful position. Equity in education benefits ALL children. Parents have to be willing to look beyond their small world. Dismissing death threats that Black administrators have received is inexcusable.

4/ Attacking the work & livelihood of a Black community leader is repulsive, as you can see here from Jessica Idelman & Amy Krebs. These attacks have nothing to do with their children. These white suburban women are on a rampage against anyone who disrupts their comfort.

5/ When the anti-CRT/DEI/mask/vaxx/public education suburban white moms feel the slightest bit uncomfortable, they lash out at everyone in their way. Society is moving forward, whether they come along or stay back. It’s not about the books. It’s hateful racist rhetoric.

6/Don’t give them air to breathe. They won’t limit our children’s right to learn, their right to be seen. Progress isn’t on their side. My fellow white women…squash this. The moment you see it, squash it. If you burn bridges, so be it. We’ve allowed this to go on far too long.

7/And for God’s sake people, learn what rape, incest, molestation, and pedophilia mean before you throw those labels around. There’s a lot of trauma that comes to the surface. Legal action is being taken. It’s in your best interest to stop now, as you are being monitored.
