Proud Boys Regroup, Focusing on School Boards and Town Councils

[Zorro]

They showed up last month outside the school board building in Beloit, Wisconsin, to protest school masking requirements.

They turned up days later at a school board meeting in New Hanover County, North Carolina, before a vote on a mask mandate.

They also attended a gathering in Downers Grove, Illinois, where parents were trying to remove a nonbinary author’s graphic novel from public school libraries.

Members of the Proud Boys, the far-right nationalist group, have increasingly appeared in recent months at town council gatherings, school board presentations and health department question-and-answer sessions across the country. Their presence at the events is part of a strategy shift by the militia organization toward a larger goal: to bring their brand of menacing politics to the local level.
