'Purple Parents' Hate Group Disrupts School Boards Across Arizona (and the US)

School Board districts across Arizona are the latest target for right-wing, Trump and QAnon followers from one end of the county to the other. Bringing in outside agitators creates chaos in public meetings and protesting curriculums they fear and know nothing about. Their goal is not better education but simple disruption.

Recently from Scottsdale to Litchfield Park to Vail – and soon to other school boards in-between – ‘Purple Parents’ has engaged in shouting matches with elected school board members, attempted to seat rogue board members, and threats of violence. These local insurrectionists follow the script of nationalistic and white supremacists spewed on January 6th against the federal government and Democracy itself.

At the bedrock level of Democracy, our duly elected local school boards are being overrun and threatened by forces seeking no loftier goal than the breakdown of our educational institutions. The forces let loose in Washington, DC, inspire and even organize these grassroots efforts to question our Maricopa County elections and attack local school boards with mobs chanting right-wing conspiracies, racist ideology, and opposition to current health codes.

Purple Parents in violent protest


Failed GOP legislative candidate Forest Moriarty, a Republican precinct committeeman, founded Purple for Parents.

For example, at a recent Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) in-person meeting of the Board of Governors, the policy of requiring masks to protect everyone’s health was demonstrably rejected by numerous attendees. Some of them were identified as from outside the district and brought in to disrupt the meeting. After numerous requests from the board to adhere to the health policy, and with loud objections to the requirement still ringing in the air, the meeting was suspended.

PURPLE FOR PARENTS MISSION

Purple for Parents Indiana Inc. informs, advocates, and engages Hoosiers to protect children from harmful agendas saturating the education system. We believe the responsibility of teaching morals and values to children are the parents/caregivers and NOT a government institution. Unfortunately, our children are increasingly influenced by programs designed to separate their beliefs from what is taught in their home and toward a progressive understanding for the sake of social justice. We work to bring awareness of and stop the conditioning/grooming of vulnerable children from all programs including Comprehensive Sexual Education and Social Emotional Learning. We also stand up against the overwhelming leverage the teacher’s unions have over policies and procedures in the schools. We believe transparency along with accountability is crucial in providing all children with exceptional academics. The American Dream is under attack and our children are being used as pawns by a system that no longer puts their best interest first. We need everyone to fight back in order to defend parental rights, innocent children and liberty. We consider our mission to be the civil rights issue of our time!

Please join us, our children and freedom are counting on it!

Purple has long been the lesbian ‘color of choice’.

Someone’s nose needs to be rubbed in this.

EVERY school has ALWAYS taught morals and values. Morals and Values are universal and NOT the exclusive province of Right-Wing Dominionist Christianity.

What they want is the right to teach their kids to hate and not have a public school interfere with that. I highly doubt that their morals and values are ONLY taught in the home and not also in the intolerant mega-church.
