Two members of Moms for Liberty, a right-wing activist group, have reported several Florida school librarians to law enforcement. They claimed they had evidence that librarians were distributing "pornography" to minors and requested that law enforcement officers be dispatched. This represents a serious escalation of the tactics deployed by members of Moms for Liberty against school librarians.

    Tapley told Popular Information that Vicki Baggett, an English teacher in Escambia County, has been “helping us.” Baggett, who Popular Information interviewed earlier this year, has challenged hundreds of books in public school libraries, including many that have LGBTQ characters or address racism. Baggett told Popular Information that she challenged When Wilma Rudolph Played Basketball — the inspirational story of a Black woman who overcame racial prejudice to become an Olympic champion — because it would make white students “feel uncomfortable” as "they are being white-shamed.”

    Like what the actual fuck is with these loons, people like her are why the Germans were forced to observe and cleanup camps after WW2. If it makes you uncomfortable maybe try and learn how not to be a racist, imaginary-friend worshiping fuck.

      When I was in elementary school, a lot of boys would occasionally get together and try to find dirty words like “fart” in the dictionary.

    Not only have they infiltrated almost every aspect of the education system in my area, they’re holding school administrators hostage. Teachers are afraid of losing their jobs. Everyone is trying to keep their heads down for fear of the Karen brigade lopping it off. Plus, because it’s Florida, parents are afraid of their kids saying the wrong thing and getting forcibly removed from their families, including their siblings. These people have a fervor in their eyes that can not be abated. We don’t know what to do. Help.

      Leave.

      It’s drastic and inconvenient but it’s really the only solution when it comes to fascists who are in power.

      You have to leave until it turns full ouroboros and the Karens turn on each other ultimately destroying themselves in their quest for idealogical purity.

        Democrats just booted a mom’s for liberty majority off 3 hotly contested school boards in my area yesterday. I understand the sentiment, but elections can work. Moving only reinforces the facism because it concentrates the bad.

        During the Fascist period, many deputies of the opposition retired on this hill after the murder of Giacomo Matteotti, here ending—by the so-called “Aventine Secession”—their presence at the Parliament and, as a consequence, their political activity.

        Do it enough times and you’ll get the officer who cares, and they’ll be so annoyed they’ll look at past calls.

        I’ve had to deal with a harasser who was also making false calls to the police about me. Most cops suck, but eventually you get one who does their job.

            That’s basically what the cops told me. Let him annoy more officers and they’ll start letting them know this way. They also started to take lunch on our street just to let him know they were there.

            It was pretty wild. I guess cops are lazy and bored!

              Oh I know, I was friends with a cop. Heard all the dirty tricks. Especally “obstruction” when you need to pull an excuse out of your ass

    Need to reboot Rob Zombie’s Dragula as a grind house flick about a Dragged out Drag Racing bitch mowing down all these Sparkle Motion bitches on the way to church one morning. Maybe run through the chapel and make skid marks out of the pastor.
    Wouldn’t help or anything, but I’d probably go see it, in the theater even. Release it Easter Sunday. idk.

    Nothing’s gonna stop this kinda shit until we outlaw religion or fucking seriously reign it in. That shit’s never gonna happen the way things are going, so might as well twist their panties with some real nasty speculative fiction.
