If only. I feel like I remember a woman who spent 3 or 4 years of her life, all day every day, advocating that (as well as robust manual audits and backup paper poll books) on Twitter… #HandMarkedPaperBallots 1/
Michael Farris used the “parental rights” rubric 2 oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, ghost wrote Paxton’s brief challenging TFG’s loss, mentored Jenna Ellis, & led the ADF, which helped overturn Roe & hosted Amy Coney Barrett. He’s coming 4 the Constitution. 1/
2/ I wrote about how Farris
has enabled the toxic Christian homeschooling environment from which the Duggars emerged & how Trump put Farris on his 1776 advisory board. Amy Coney Barrett spoke at the ADF (which he led until recently) 5X. #ShinyHappyPeoplebuckscountybeacon.com/2023/06/christ…
3/ The public deserves to know the identity of the “parental rights” puppeteers (the people behind the current, pulling strings), as well as their agenda. Christian homeschooling leader Michael Farris is such a puppeteer. Here is his agenda:
Tom Fitton is president of the Council for National Policy (CNP), a Christian umbrella & strategy group that began strategizing to overturn the 2020 election in FEB 2020. He encouraged Trump to pardon Roger Stone, Mike Flynn, & Manafort in early 2020 (which Trump then did). 1/
Tom Fitton is the guy who drafted a proposed statement for Trump to use to preemptively declare victory on November 3, before all of the votes were counted. I wrote about him here. 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2023/05/part-5…
There has been some discussion as to whether New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) leader Lance Wallnau is an "apostle" or merely a "prophet." NAR Apostle Che Ahn's website clears this up. He's an apostle. h/t @FredClarksonarchive.ph/U9Pn6 1/
The "NAR," it's a dominionist movement. Dominionism is the belief that Christians have a mandate from God to control all aspects of government and culture. I've written about the NAR, dominionism, & NAR apostle Lance Wallnau many times, starting here. 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2022/08/underr…
"Apostle" is a higher position than "prophet." It may seem like an irrelevant detail, but it isn't because it shows how influential he is within the movement. 3/
Flashpoint is on the Victory channel founded by Kenneth Copeland. The show frequently platforms dominionists and MAGA leaders. See post 2 re: Kenneth Copeland. You won’t be disappointed. Scary guy. #Christofascism 1/
The "parental rights" rubric touted by the so-called "Moms for Liberty" group comes from evangelical homeschooling leaders, who used this same rubric to oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and mandatory child abuse reporting. 1/
Meanwhile, a pastor in Temecula who wears a III%ers patch successfully backed candidates for multiple school board positions. 2/
The BS "groomers" campaign against public (secular) schools and the LGBTQ+ community has deflected from the massive sexual abuse scandals plaguing Christian institutions, including the Southern Baptist Convention, the Mormon Church, and the Catholic Church. 1/
In Temecula, CA, a pastor who wears a III%ers patch (Tim Thompson), successfully backed several school board candidates. 2/
These are just a few excerpts from my recent conversation with three other California women who, like me, are concerned about the attacks against America's public (secular) schools and the LGBT+ community. Here's a link to the whole conversation. 3/
