Last fall, parents organized en masse to protest the closure of public schools, asinine masking rules that kept kids in bogus cloth masks for eight hours a day, and other detrimental COVID school policies that were harming their children and their educational process. Videos emerged of protests at local school boards across the country as the parents went to bat—petitioning their government for the best use of their tax dollars.
These protests were very appropriate and an essential function of democracy. Rather than burning down random, private businesses (as we saw in the Black Lives Matter protests), these parents took their complaints directly to the source. Remember, school boards are elected positions that oversee millions of dollars per year and whose policies have a greater impact on families and their educational outcomes than virtually any other position.
But you know who had a problem with that? The US government. A scandalous story emerged last year that revealed a letter from the National School Boards Association (NBSA) petitioning the Biden administration to intervene in these protests, comparing the parents participating in them to “domestic terrorists.” A mere five days later, the Department of Justice went to work doing their bidding, issuing a memo that directed the FBI to investigate threats to school boards.

That’s an actual attack on the First Amendment as the parents had every right to protest and to exercise their freedom of speech at these meetings.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
