1/ @CBSDSchools right-wing board majority @ last minute included on tonight's agenda a whopping $90,000 raise & contract extension for embattled Superintendent Lucabaugh which many in district see as a reward for him championing their agenda of banning books, pride flags & more 2/ Public comment limited to 90 minutes: Fist speaker rants about trans athletes in girls sports, genital mutilation, pronouns, gender ideology & attempts to indoctrinate children. Very Moms for Libertyish. "This fight is just getting started in @CBSDSchools"

1/ Moms for Liberty's Tiffany Justice speaking right now says "1 of the unique blessings of living in America is freedom of speech...M4L champions this and exemplifies it."

She says Moms for Liberty will come together to protect their children. A propaganda video w/fascist overtones now plays. Patriot mobile up next...

Tonight's @CBSDSchools board mtg promises to be lively. The #BucksCounty district can't stay out of the news: Forced a librarian to remove an Elie Wiesel quote, outsourced policy to a law firm affiliated w/a Christian hate group & accusations of anti-LGBTQ policy. Public comment: Local @CBSDSchools parent Jerel Wohl speaking about the Elie Wiesel quote controversy says "it makes me think there is a darkness in central bucks ... that something is going wrong here" largely in part because of the right-wing school board's arrogance and ideological blindness.
