This is part of an organized, national campaign by Christofascists to take over school boards nationally.
I don't know how you counter this type of action, but there must be some strategies out there.
Note the request for a "MANLY presence". Creepy AF.

(16,834 posts)who said he needed real men to help him take over school boards. His solution was to carry the board members out of the meeting by force and take over the proceedings. I think they plan to do that in districts all over America. These are Nazi tactics, Klan tactics, vigilante justice hoodlums who can't win democratically, so they resort to thuggery. I hope the school board members have plenty of cops on hand, and I hope the cops who are there aren't on the side of the vigilantes.

(4,861 posts)We've seen America fragment and refragment
- Democrat v republican
- Christian v secular
- Vaccine v antivax
- Mask v antimask
Now it is fragmenting along all of the above dividing lines at more and more local levels - among parents of kids in the same school, and male v female.
Ultimately, I think it is an extension of the Russian strategy of trying to cause western democracies to implode, adopted by folks like Steve Bannon and QAnon.
Half of America happily jumps into that rabbit hole.

and there is now a necessity for security guards. These guys are thugs.
For school board meetings, sign up should include the name of your enrolled child, for starters.
