................The "school" is a free four-week online course "that will sharpen the tools we need to fight back at the federal, state, and local levels," according to the group's website, as first reported by the Boston Globe.

"Our goal is to keep the embers of resistance alive through concrete learning, community engagement, and forward-looking action."

.......................

"Republicans now control the Senate, House, and more state legislatures than they have in almost 200 years. Those losses have emboldened the right to launch an all-out attack against our nation’s creed – that all are created equal."

The 11 creators have also compared themselves to "Dumbledore's Army," according to the Globe, referring to a group of students in the "Harry Potter" series that met secretly to stand up against the wizarding school's officials and learn spells to fight against dark magic.
