There’s a group in PA, or at least working within PA, called the Independence Law Center, that specifically recruits people to run for school boards, and then vote for book bannings, and bathroom rules and all the social issues that the right wing loves, that then causes every school district to deal with massive lawsuits. My hometown school board is dealing with it now. I think the grift is, they recruit MAGA people to run for the school board, and when they get elected, they vote to add the Independence Law Center as a “second opinion” legal counsel, which then gets paid, and just tells them to do all the right wing shit. Then there’s lawsuits, which the counsel still gets billed to handle.
And for some groups, a school board election is their training ground for entrance into higher political office. Both parties do it, at least around here.
This is also going on here. They banned the book fair because scholastic had a book about gay kids. Would only run a book fair if we went the super conservative book supplier. They fired their lawyer and hired a new one that reps all of the super maga school boards.
I just spent 5 minutes on Twitter/X, here are my findings: 1) Some Middle-Eastern account posted a video of Tel Aviv getting nuked and a couple thousand people asked Grok: "Is it real??" 2) Jeff Tiedrich still exists. 3) Someone proclaiming they're glad Kobe Bryant is dead. 4) A video of people fighting in a McDonalds. 5) A video of Glenn Beck crying.
