For today’s “rhyming with history” lesson we bring to you a 1920 pamphlet entitled “A Measuring Rod” that was distributed and used by schools and libraries to promote the Lost Cause narrative of the Civil War. A very discredited interpretation that many of these conversative groups are trying to take us back to. Be aware of words like “transparency” and “ back-to-basics” as they are dog whistles for trying to erase peoples experiences not only from our past, but also our present. https://archive.org/details/measuringrodtot00ruth/mode/2up?g

Round and round and round we go, where it stops nobody knows! We've been taking a bit of a hiatus around here, because there is just too much going on in the world and sometimes it gets, well, a bit heavy. If you don't follow Humans of New York, please take a minute to read this because we've never so identified with a Facebook post before....

We've got a mission for you today folks! Click on the link below to explore the very bad changes that Nancy Allen wants to make policies 444 and 443 concerning Educational Equity and Non-Gender confirming students. Be sure to click on all the links, then either send off the form letter or a letter of your own choosing to the board before tonight:

It's probably best to send it to this email so ALL of the members of the board can read it: Board@fcps.org

This is a cautionary tale that Frederick County would benefit from considering. Truly a must read. "In 2015, the kind of language Blasingame used—calling her candidacy part of the ”pathway of establishing His Glory”—likely still came off as too fringe for a large suburban district like Cy-Fair. Prominent New Apostolic Reformation figures like Lance Wallnau and Cindy Jacobs had yet to normalize Seven Mountains ideas in political circles by identifying Donald Trump as God’s chosen tool to take the mountain of government. It would take three election cycles before Blasingame won a seat on the Cy-Fair board."

Cy-Fair ISD’s school board banned books and stripped vaccine curriculum. Now, a group of parents are running to make the school board boring again.

Excerpt: Black said in an interview on Thursday that he supports Porter’s rights and anyone else’s right to “redress grievance with government under the First Amendment.”

He said he laughed when Porter pulled his shorts down because he found Porter’s freedom of expression “rather amusing.”

“I found his particular antics humorous and within reason under the First Amendment,” Black said. “I think it’s wonderful that individuals have that right in our country.”

Shaun Porter, a confrontational activist, walked up to the Frederick County Board of Education dais at a meeting on Wednesday, turned around so that his butt faced them and pulled

As Cliff Cumber put it earlier this week , “Queen of the Transphobes” Heather Fletcher made a Facebook post thanking Shaun Porter for helping her navigate the no trespass order that she received after making an absolute fool of herself at the last board meeting. Who is Shaun Porter? Well, he’s the guy that likes to stand on street corners with his vulgar signs because he fancies himself a 1st Amendment hero. We find it really interesting that Ms. Fletcher, who falsely claims that FCPS is subjecting children to vulgar and inappropriate material, is associating herself with a man who makes parents driving by his signs have to define the vulgar words that you’ll see in the pics below. (Absolutely NSFW by the way) This Wednesday is the board meeting about Policy 443, please contact your board members or better yet show up at the meeting. We are sure Ms. Kitty Cat ears will make another appearance.

This is brilliant! We also look forward to C**t Black wearing cat ears in solidarity. https://www.fredericknewspost.com/opinion/letter_to_editor/fletchers-brave-stand/article_85c90387-a820-526c-bbc9-afe20d7520ba.html?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwKVZAdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHlqd9Kmo752Dr5fzeHGAD_QRQli7k9jx14j5DrYh8N8OQ1S2BSSsC4PlIkrj_aem_c3m-6H_p7bSosk-Ab0uJ6A
