Pissed off parents are fighting back against Moms for Liberty’s school board takeovers. The group has been commandeering school boards to ban LGBTQ+ and anti-racist content, and parents have had enough.

1. The USA is on its way to having severe differences in healthcare, education, and gay rights, all depending upon the state you live in. All by design.

2. Too many groups these days. Liberty has a meaning, those moms don’t get it.

3. Moms for Liberty’s past activities include:

   * offering bounties for turning in teachers who discuss “divisive topics,”
   * attacking the Trevor Project for trying to prevent LGBTQ+ teen suicide,
   * trying to get a book about seahorses banned for being too sexy,
   * complaining about a book on the Civil War because it portrays “white people as ‘bad’ or ‘evil,’”
   * trying to get librarians arrested for offering “inappropriate books,”
   * saying that two girls briefly kissing at a school function is “lewd” and “traumatic,”
   * lobbying in Florida for the Don’t Say Gay bill, e
   * ncouraging schools to ignore LGBTQ History Month, and
   * suggesting that LGBTQ+ students be forcibly isolated from other pupils.

   Moms for Liberty is a blight on American education. The Republican Party is the Westboro Baptist Church.

5. My money is on the POP’s.

6. Whenever they want to ban and burn books, what they really want to do is ban and burn PEOPLE.

   Never forget that.

   We’ve seen this movie before. We know what happens next.

7. What took these people so long?

8. Good. Domestic terrorists should always be countered..

9. I’m one of them. I made a huge push against these groups during COVID and matched them at school and county board meetings. Made a lot of friends and even more enemies.

   These groups are run by cowards. They fold like a house of cards when you show up and put them in their place.

10. You know it’s getting bad when libraries ban books only because the author’s last name is [Gay](https://www.advocate.com/books/banned-books-name-author-gay)

12. Hold up.

    I’m certainly not a fan of the Minivan Taliban, however, is “commandeering” really the best word here?

    They are WINNING elections for school board seats because people don’t bother to fucking pay attention to local politics.

    How you gonna sit idly by and let the crazies take over and then act mad because crazies are in charge and doing a bunch of crazy shit?

13. Ah yes, lgbtqnation… the most reliable and unbiased news site out there… rock solid.

14. Fuck them astroturfed fascist fucknuts.

15. Sounds like a group that needs to be infiltrated and exposed. I’m sure the dumb shit they say publicly pales in comparison to what they say in private.
