1/ WA Alliance 4 Kids calls itself a 'parent advocacy group' but really it's just another GOP campaign. WAA4K is incorporated with the state, and the primary officer is Don Skillman who was the campaign manager for the anti ST3 campaign.
His wife Moya is WAA4K's spokesperson
2/ WA Alliance 4 Kids began pushing for a full time re open in the fall when most of the public wasn't vaccinated, #covid19 was still surging and safety precautions weren't in place.
3/ WA Alliance 4 kids and the #OpenSchools movement has spread rumors, attacked teachers, and advocated for voting no on school levies/bonds out of retaliation.
The goal is to exploit parent's frustration about school closures to gain support for defunding public ed.

*Thread* 1/ Defend SPD, the group who has been organizing/co organizing pro SPD rallies in Seattle are actually racist and anti black and are getting ALOT of assistance from SPD.
Let's take a look at their FB group.
2/ The group goes beyond just being Pro SPD. They are also pushing back against equity and ethics studies at seattle public schools, with the assistance of Safe Seattle
3/ This Defend SPD group *really* doesn't like anti racism. Note: This is one of the organizers of the group and a white woman.
According to this we're "brainwashing" our black children.
1/ For over 30+ years, there has been much debate and discussion over one of our high school's (Juanita High) 'Rebel' Mascot, which has been openly associated with the confederate flag and imagery
2/ This, coupled with incidents of racism towards POC students at Juanita High , going back decades, has made some at the school feel unwelcome. As a black alumni of this school, I remember that feeling well.
3/ This year a group of JHS current and former students, including black students, spearheaded an effort to get the school's logo changed, and finally it proved sucessful. However, that hasn't been without hateful comments directed at them, from some of our community members.
A driver in a white Jaguar intentionally ran through barricades to run over peaceful #BlackLivesMatter protesters on I5 in #Seattle, and hit 2 people. Pls help bring this driver to justice
* *Warning Graphic**
This is the aftermath, live streamed by @WWConverge. The driver clearly intended to do serious harm and swerved to hit protesters. They are alive, but I don't know the extent/severity of their injuries.
Beginning Monday, March 16, @SeaPubSchools will be distributing lunches from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every weekday at 26 school sites throughout the city. All SPS students can participate.
1) Another look at what happened in Issaquah at the @KCLS board meeting
Extremist Christian mom's from Mass Resistance WA brought in Proud Boys and Operation Cold Front as their "security" (hence the security shirts) to intimidate.
2) One of the Proud Boy/Operation Cold Front guys attempted to bring a loaded gun, into the meeting. He was luckily deterred by a staff member, and that was because it was visible. There where children at this meeting, including my own + they wanted to come armed.
3) They where also taking pictures of the sign-up sheets which included some folks names, emails, and addresses. Now it make sense why some of the Mass moms didn't want to give their names.
Again there where children present (two where filmed when they went up with their mom
