(2,724 posts)that they are the experts in, and if (if) there are motivated determined young leaders, and if there are some successes on the ground...the group SEE Alliance began when local DeSatan started Don't Say Gay, and his chosen lickspittle founder of Moms for "Liberty", the head of the local public school board, attacked an outspoken gay, minor young man very publicly online for opposing it, the fuse was lit. She attacked the wrong kid, the amazing Zander M., and he and his student supporters stood up and spoke up at local school board meetings--regularly. And then, the Lickspittle, Bridget Ziegler, and husband were involved in a very public scandal involving bisexuality and possibly worse.
There's nothing like nationwide exposure of hypocrisy involving sex to give that extra boost to a progressive movement (although that only seems to apply when women are the hypocrites). Because her role on school board directly involved children, local opposition to her and her ilk led to the defeat across FL of the many Moms for (say it) Bigotry school board candidates being defeated.
Granted, local school boards are way down in the political heirarchy, but MAGAts saw them as a way to infiltrate county, then state, then national gov't.
Jeez, didn't mean to go on so. But I don't want to leave the kids' futures in the hands of MAGAts, not without a fight.
