This \u2018queer-loving,\u2019 queer School Board member isn\u2019t backing down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Gordon, director of a state political action committee called The Virginia Project, told The Daily Wire \u201cThe flyer bears all the hallmarks of a cynical hoax.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WTOP said 30 flyers were found in the county of 1.2 million, citing police. Despite the ubiquity of doorbell cameras, no one appears to have has produced a video of the perpetrator, and Democrats provided few specifics about the flyer\u2019s origin in their online comments.<\/p>\n<p>Democrat politicians who have sided with teachers unions on pandemic closures, only to face wrath from everyday parents, have increasingly used those parents\u2019 own political tribalism to manipulate them, suggesting that if they do not go along with the plan, they are acting like one of the worst things imaginable: a Republican.<\/p>\n<p>In Rhode Island, after a superintendent was facing being placed on leave over a scandal involving unions using school resources to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/superintendent-leaked-private-student-information-to-a-union-activists-tried-to-bury-and-distract-using-racism-claims\">influence a bond referendum<\/a> that stood to profit its members, a flyer told residents that \u201cwhite supremacist\u201d organizations were opposed to the superintendent, and that therefore socially-conscious parents should try to stop the disciplinary action.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers\u2019 unions have gone to extremes to ensure that they did not have to show to up teach children during the pandemic. In Fairfax, teachers staged an \u201cillegal \u2018sick-out\u2019 when local officials announced that students with disabilities could return to in-person learning,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commentarymagazine.com\/articles\/christine-rosen\/teachers-unions-villains-of-pandemic\/?\">Commentary<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>They have at times bizarrely conflated their job negotiations with racial issues in order to gain the support of liberal voters who they calculate will blindly embrace anything that invokes racial buzzwords. In Montgomery County, Maryland, teachers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/despite-school-shutdowns-many-teachers-never-got-vaccinated\">balked<\/a> at returning to school, claiming they were so afraid of coronavirus that they would need N95 masks. It turned out 30% of teachers never even bothered to get vaccinated. But they had an alternate excuse: Before a return, they demanded funding for programs \u201cwhich directly serve Black and, [sic] Brown students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fairfax resident Jo Anne Sears told The Daily Wire that accusing parents of wanting to join the KKK for wanting their kids to be in school was a mark of increasing desperation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSlander is the tool of last resort,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s very disturbing and it shows that Democrats have no argument other than to slander parents who across the political spectrum want their kids in school for in-person learning. The parents involved in this organization have worked tirelessly to ensure that the children who most need it get an education. It kills me that they are not listening to the neediest of the needy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said she knew Simon, the state delegate, personally, and called his office to ask him about his implication that she might be a KKK sympathizer. His secretary said he was busy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s working on Juneteenth,\u201d Sears said.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
