🚨 SPLC is Evil: Change My Mind
The day of reckoning has come for the Southern Poverty Law Center. This isn’t abstract—it’s personal.

🧵 Here’s just a little bit of our story:
Just days before our Joyful Warrior National Summit in Philadelphia, the SPLC dropped a hit piece labeling Moms for Liberty “extremist” and warning that our gathering would “inject extremism into the mainstream.”

What happened next? Chaos—fueled by their reckless smear:
•1,000+ protestors descended on our event.
•Windows smashed at the museum hosting us.
•“Washington Crossing the Delaware” vandalized.
•Global hackers took down our website—costing us tens of thousands to restore.
•Moms for Liberty co-founder @TinaDescovich: “That morning, I was praying, knowing I had to lead 750 moms through that angry mob.”

We paid the price for SPLC’s lies.
And it didn’t stop there.
•The SPLC also targeted Moms for Liberty CEO @TinaDescovich personally (Florida Ethics Commission appointment) — even though she had served faithfully for a year, the Florida Senate refused to take up her confirmation after their attack.
•SPLC’s “extremist files” now include Moms for Liberty
•Their narratives are amplified across the web and used to justify harassment and censorship.

This is not harmless labeling. This is a blueprint for intimidation.

🚨OUTRAGEOUS: A teenage girl in Middleton, WI was ordered to write her full name on a square in the high school hallway and publicly declare herself as Republican, Democrat, or Independent.

She refused at first—because she had just overheard other students pointing at the “red” squares and sneering: “all those people are N@zis.”

She told the history teacher she was afraid. She explained what she’d heard.

The teacher dismissed her and ordered her to participate anyway.

She was described as shaking after being forced to “out herself” politically in front of peers.

This is intimidation, not education. This is what happens when schools trade neutrality for activism. And it’s no accident.
Middleton HS history teacher Andrew Hartmann is an NEA Global Learning Fellow.

Their mission?
“Our mission is to weave the principles of equity, inclusion, and belonging into the fabric of every department within our district.”

“We strive to make our schools and our district a place where equity is not just an initiative but a fundamental part of our identity.”

That sounds nice—until you realize what it means: no neutral ground. Only one worldview allowed. Students who dissent are silenced or shamed.

🔥Slay Queen: This mom brings the receipts to the Illinois Community High School District 128 School Board Meeting as she fights for the girls who were sexually harassed by an 18-year-old male in their high school locker room. Moms for Liberty Chapter Chair @marsha_mcclary always does her homework!

🚨Parents Beware of the “Defacto Opt-In”⬇️
Michigan mom and former teacher was shocked when her 7-year-old child was driven to an off-campus clinic and given vision screenings and prescription-strength glasses without her consent. Her child had no known vision issues, yet she had been wearing prescription glasses at school for weeks. It wasn't until her daughter wore them home that the mother realized what had happened.

As it turns out, the prescription was incorrect.

Not only did the school system rob this mother of her parental rights and the experience of taking her daughter to pick out her first pair of glasses and frames, but the "professionals" also provided the wrong prescription..

🚨The School Superintendents Association (AASA) advises superintendents nationwide that they may disregard the Office of Civil Rights' “Dear Colleague” memorandum, which has effectively discontinued all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within educational settings.

In a blog post titled “OCR Issues Guidance on Title VI Compliance for Districts,” AASA explains to superintendents that the legal arguments backing the Trump Administration's @usedgov OCR guidance will face challenges in court. Furthermore, even if legal challenges don’t work out, school districts can stall and basically buy themselves some time. AASA believes they can evade a loss of federal funds, as withdrawing funding for noncompliance with federal civil rights laws is a slow and complex process.
@DOGE
Jackie Wernz, education civil rights attorney at AASA, is advising state administrators on the importance of branding: “…focus on programs and activities that might be at risk under the current law, regulations, and judicial guidance. DEI Policies that explicitly use race in admissions, financial aid, hiring, or discipline-such as racial quotas, set-asides, or preferential treatment — are the most at risk under current law.”

Similarly, DEl programs that stereotype individuals or groups, assign racial blame, or suppress speech based on race could be suspect. “However, there is much less support for arguments against race-neutral-yet-race-conscious policies like those used in cases in the 1st and 4th Circuit…”

Wernz seems to believe that there is no legal basis to consider explicit diversity “goals” on race and gender/gender identity as problematic.

Dear Fellow American Parents,
 
As parents we all share a common bond, an unyielding commitment to the future of our children. We strive every day to provide them with a safe, nurturing environment and to equip them with the values and opportunities they need to thrive. In these uncertain times, we must be vigilant in fighting the forces that shape their minds, and the world we will hand to them. 1/11 One such threat is the potential Harris/Walz presidency, which would give way to the rise of the most anti-parent, extremist government America has ever known. President Ronald Reagan warned that freedom is one generation from extinction. We will hand that baton to our children as their inheritance; we must not drop it. 2/11

We sat down w/ @60Minutes about so-called “banned books” w/ @ScottPelley on 10/12/23. Tonight, the piece finally aired. The books we shared were censored. Why? Would they have caused @CBSNews to get a FCC fine for reading pornographic material on-air? Or was it just not on message about “extreme right wing hate speech?” You decide. Below is a list of the books we shared & some of the content read to @ScottPelley. As we told the @60Minutes producers many times - these books have all been reported at schools. Not just local libraries or retailers.

IT'S IN SCHOOLS - Home itsnotinschools.com “Millions of American children now attend schools that are saturated with Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP), Critical Race Theory (CRT), Queer Theory (QT), and Transformative Social and Emotional Learning (TSEL).”

Covid has been a nightmare. Many people have lost loved ones and my post does not mean to diminish the pain of that loss. But as a mother, I have to say that I don’t think any one group has been so negatively affected than the youth of our nation.

Closed schools, missed milestones, depression, anxiety, suicide. Masked all day, constantly reprimanded. Parents have witnessed our children struggle and we have tried to do our best to help them through it. It has been hard.

Went out today in FL and had lunch with some friends. It was a beautiful day and we didn’t have to mask once. But as we were eating, I was thinking about my kids who had masks on all day at school. 1/ My 16 yr old daughter said it is hard to make new friends when you can’t see anyone’s face. My 13yo has a pimple on his nose he is so embarrassed about- the mask is causing it, but now he wants the mask to cover it 😥 2/
