Parents defending our public schools from the manufactured crises of privatization activists and hate groups. Not authorized by any candidate or committee.
The local school attack/hate group is hosting a school board race fundraiser with the Whitmer kidnap conspirators based on the premise they all feel victimized by the FBI. This screams common sense. 🤔
This is sadly comical. The Moms are going after the FBI so our local attack group is going after the FBI. The same FBI that caught a child predator working in our schools, indicted on federal charges today. 😩😔 But the books! cc: @MichiganTea@_dofd@DistillSocial
Informed that Great Schools Initiative actually had to rebrand as Great Education Initiative (GEI which is very close to DEI which must be hard for them). Too close to the harmless Great Schools name. They’re also offering sponsorships to a Trump lunch. In short connected and $$
The Great Schools Initiative folks in MI have ties to a Chicagoland lawyer so it’s not surprising that Awake would spread to Michigan. GSI has also been shunned. Time for a rebrand. 🙃
It has not escaped notice that other domains have been secured using a similar naming convention. This might be a hypothesis that doesn't lead anywhere, of course, but #AwakeMI was created minutes after #AwakeWI. 3/9
What is strange is how https://t.co/8jLIgRc2bH had a prior history with a group using the same domain address.
This group was led by an evangelist (perhaps showcasing early #ChristianNationalism), Chuck Harding.

Moms for Liberty and the 1776 Project lost big in school board elections, but their fight against public schools is far from over. @dorajfacundo reports:

Losses for right-wing school board candidates reveal a lost appetite for culture-war activism. But right-wing pressure on school boards more generally helps make the case for undermining the public school system. @dorajfacundo reports:

This case filed 9/2021. The formation of TWO groups by a plaintiff ever so coincidentally between 8/2021-10/2021 criticizing the local “CRT” and books 🙄😔 Who can forget the event they hosted telling students to leave but to keep up the fight. @pfpsorg
A number of Blaine Amendment cases are still working their way through the courts. Perhaps the most interesting one, Hile v. Michigan, was filed in federal court in September 2021. Learn more here: https://t.co/eszMJkwfiT #LegalBeat#EdChat
