An AMAZING turnout AGAINST Youngkin’s anti-trans, pro-bullying model policies at tonight’s Loudoun school board meeting! Really powerful testimony from parents, students and mental health advocates. I have confidence our school board will do the right thing.

based Moms 4 Liberty Loudoun and Parents Against Critical Theory (PACT) to its list of hate groups for 2022. Where’s the local and regional coverage?
The presence of hate and extremist groups is only one way to gauge the power and impact of the hard right.
Through stories, public polling and social media analysis, the
#YearInHate22
report clearly shows the impact of these groups and hard-right figures.
As Virginia kids head back to awesome public schools over the next few weeks, let’s all remember that

I guess blue states do it better 🤷🏻♀️
Governor Youngkin is shamefully appointing Meg Scalia Bryce to the state board of education. The same Meg Bryce who supports book banning, discrimination against LGBTQ students, and the “Moms for Liberty” agenda. Albemarle voted resoundingly against her; VA deserves better.
Roem is a woman who gets stuff done for her community…
Sears is a woman who does absolutely nothing & has to rely on manufactured outrage to get mentioned 🤷🏻♀️

Loudoun school board member Atoosa Reaser (a frequent target of the Loudoun right—at least one of whom has called the Iranian American candidate “Ayatollah Atoosa”) won her Eastern Loudoun house of delegates race by 14 points last week 💙
The Glenn dome thing resonates so hard because there’s something so very satisfying about seeing a smug, entitled, arrogant jerk who’s used to getting everything handed to him NOT get his way 🤷🏻♀️
A HUGE congratulations to my longtime friend,

I look forward to being your constituent and I know you will serve the people of SD-31 well.

LCSB: you don’t have to do what Youngkin’s DOE says. Countless school boards ignored Northam’s inclusive guidelines. In fact, all you have to do right now to keep protecting vulnerable kids is…nothing. 8040 is adopted policy in Loudoun 🤷🏻♀️
Loudoun is a Biden +20 county but we have to be vigilant with a new gop controlled electoral board and dark money groups targeting us… read this thread LoCo!
If your county is on this list, beware. Lance Wallnau is a leader in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a global movement that promotes dominionism, the belief that Christians have a mandate from God to control all aspects of government & society. 1/
Loudoun Dems have AGAIN won a solid majority on the school board and DOMINATED the board of supervisors election with wins from Juli Briskman and Phyllis Randall…

The new Loudoun school board is MORE progressive than the current board…
👉We replaced no-show Corbo with a true advocate ❤️
👉Bannon-bot Polifko, mushy Morse and DINO Serotkin were afraid to run in their new districts and are replaced with 🔥 new reps
I think part of the reason the Katie Sorensen case has inspired so much outrage is that false accusations by white women against POC have had such devastating consequences.
Hung Cao defending Robert E Lee with lies… Says Lee “hated slavery” Lee said: “The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race…”

Why do you send your kid to boarding school in Maryland?? Do you hate Virginia, hate parenting or both?? Glenn supports parents rights…. to ship their kids out of state lolol
Really excellent piece from NBC on

Let me get this straight…
@GovernorVA
makes shady changes to learning standards trying to erase MLK & other leaders of color…
@LoudounNaacp
& others call him out. He makes back door changes AFTER getting busted then calls our NAACP leaders liars??? Classic scumbag move 🤷🏻♀️
I’m super curious about how the parents calling all the shots in public schools thing would work… Would it be mob rule? Or would we…like…democratically elect people from our community to make education policy and hire professionals to execute it? 🤔
When I was a kid,
@BalchLibrary

for failing to arrest the rapist and blowing it off as a “shaky case”?? Can you head over to LCSO HQ and ring the bell? Loudoun kids deserve accountability from ALL agencies
In Virginia — where every single seat in the General Assembly was on the ballot — voters gave Democrats the majority in both the Senate and House of Delegates, preventing Republicans from passing a radical conservative agenda.
I love it when ppl talk about the Loudoun School Board w/o mentioning targeted attacks from right wing groups with an anti-public education agenda as if the ppl who came after the last board were just grassroots parents & all the new board needs to do is communicate better 😂😂😂
Nine new Loudoun County (Va.) School Board members were sworn in on Jan. 2. In the wake of four years of often acrimonious meetings, new board Chair Melinda Mansfield pledged to try to build bridges with parents.

We do NOT want PragerU indoctrination in Loudoun classrooms! One more reason to vote blue up and down our ballots in Virginia’s 2023 state and local elections!

Guess who’s in charge of Loudoun’s awesome public library system? The board of supervisors and their appointed library board of trustees….One more reason to vote blue in EVERY state and local election in the commonwealth this November!

My son is a cybersecurity student at GMU. I had to pull money from his college fund to defend myself against Segura’s BS *failed* SLAPP suit after I raised legitimate questions about his residency in our district. This spoiled brat scumbag has ZERO integrity.
Why wouldn’t we want a 22 year old on the school board? It’s supposed to be about kids right? Why wouldn’t we want someone with fairly recent lived K-12 experience helping make policy instead of a bunch of parents who never fail to make it about themselves 🤷🏻♀️
Youngkin's 15-week abortion ban is NOT popular (38% support vs. 53% oppose)...and he might not even stop there if given the chance. So this November, vote (Democratic) accordingly! h/t

So I’m confused…we spent taxpayer $ on an AG report about the LCPS sexual assaults that said the school board was not to blame but that LCPS admin and Loudoun Sheriff fucked up…the superintendent and chief of staff were fired. Have there been consequences at LCSO?
Nope…Loudoun County ELECTED a school board committed to equity and inclusion 🤷🏻♀️ this would be the same Loudoun county that rejected Scott Pio by 20 points in his failed candidacy. And no… Loudoun parents are not interested in the 1776 project 😂😂😂
Lolol Loudoun’s diminutive grifter Ian Prior (who’s SO CONCERNED ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT) is doing a CPAC talk with Mercedes Schlapp, wife/beard of Matt Schlapp—who’s being sued by a male staffer for sexual assault…okay then 🤷🏻♀️
