Someone asked me if there’s a centralized resource re: the organized coup against public school boards. I know of no such resource. But at least three Religious Right organizations under the Council for National Policy (CNP) umbrella are involved in organizing & training. 1/
They are the Leadership Institute (led by CNPer Morton Blackwell), TPUSA (led by CNPer Charlie Kirk), and the Heritage Foundation (not sure re: Heritage, but I think I saw something recently). 2/
There are also local groups that are likely at most two steps removed from these organizations, such as Moms 4 Liberty (headquartered in Sarasota, Florida) and the Mama Bullies (who call themselves the Iowa Mama Bears & have traveled with Mike Flynn). 3/
I knew the attacks were about destroying public education (not “protecting kids” from CRT or mask mandates) bc I have studied both the CNPs and Koch brothers’ goals re: public education for several years. (Koch’s help fund many CNP organizations). 4/

18/ If the assaults on public schools are a focus of yours & I left u off this thread, pls let me know. It was not intentional. Thanks!
19/ @nancylevine has done a great job trying to hold @eventbrite to account for allowing Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA to use its platform to promote events in Oregon. TPUSA has long been at the forefront of attacks on public schools.

20/ @TPUSA has no problem w/ lies & deception as shown by its partnership w/ #PizzagateJack (Posobiec). I wrote this thread compiling info re: Posobiec’s lies & deceptions & their dangerous fallout. It is appalling that @verified hasn’t banned him. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1447430…
