The communications director of the far-right Republican front group Moms for Liberty was recorded threatening to shoot school librarians.
The group has the facade of a grassroots organization, but it is funded by Republicans, and behind the claim of interest parental rights is the pushing of a far-right agenda.
Lonoke County, Arkansas chapter head of communications Melissa Missy Bosch said about the school districts librarians, Im telling you, if I was any mental issues, they would all be plowed down with a freaking gun by now.
Librarians have been turned into a target by the far-right with its critical race theory campaign. Republicans have turned election workers, librarians, school district officials, and other local public servants into targets.
Bosch claimed that the recording was illegally made and edited but according to Media Matters both of her claims are false.

(9,090 posts)s broadcasting. they need to reread their missions statements and stop supporting radio stations that want to burn books
here are 87 universities that support 260+ xlimbaugh stations - it's fucking ridiculous we put up with it. and organized pushback would freak the radio ad industry out and cause them to break up the rw radio monopoly, trump's biggest support and one of putin's best tools, and without it republicans have no advantage.

(13,557 posts)system in my area-Mid-Continent library system-has been pulling some books from their libraries due to more conservative members of the board of trustees. The head of the library system has quit because some of the board of trustees rejected the diversity programs that include LGBTQ. Apparently some newer members are steering the library toward a extremely conservative direction. They are also are having trouble coming up with a budget for the system. If they dont have one by June 30th, the library system will shut down. It covers three counties and there are thirty-five libraries in all.

This is a frigging Death Cult. Their answer to everything is to shoot it up, hang it high or burn the offensive whatever to ash.
Nihilistic Death Cult.
