#Trump #EducationDepartment Opens Snitch Line Against #Diversity
The snitch portal was launched in association with the extremist group #MomsForLiberty
by Tim Dickson, February 28, 2025
"Donald Trump’s Department of Education has launched a new portal for Americans to rat out the diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts at their local public schools.
"The portal, called EndDEI.ed.gov, debuted with a press release that featured no government authorities, but rather a quote from a co-founder of the reactionary group Moms for Liberty, which is infamous for its anti-LGBTQ+ activism and links to right-wing militant groups like the Proud Boys.
"#TiffanyJustice, of Moms for Liberty, touted the launch of the portal, highlighting it as an opportunity for parents to push back against 'critical [race] theory, rogue sex education, and divisive ideologies.' She added:
'Now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools.”
"Justice is a controversial figure in her own right, and no stranger to divisive ideologies. She responded to a 2023 controversy in which a Moms For Liberty parent quoted #Hitler in a newsletter by proclaiming, 'I stand with that mom!'
"Apart from its web address, the federal portal uses bland language. 'Schools should be focused on learning,' the website says, and insists that the Department of Education is committed to supporting education 'free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination.' It calls the portal an outlet to 'report illegal discriminatory practices at institutions of learning,' and says the feds will use the submissions 'to identify potential areas for investigation.' The portal permits 450 words of explanation and allows users to submit up to 10 megabytes of digital files."

I told you it wouldn't stop with the fucking book banning. (If the Revolution's successful, Moms for Liberty oughta be among the first to go on trial.)

This is why the book banners must be fought at every turn. They claim they're just banning "pornography" but have you seen what they consider to be pornographic? Tells you something is deeply disturbing about their thought processes.

For the #Derby #schooldistrict near #Wichita, #Kansas, there must never be a negative word uttered about their #dearleader, whose #ego is #fragile but #massive.
This sounds so #MomsforLiberty-ish.

After spending my day “feasting” on #nfl …
It occurred to me…as I pondered the BS shoveled by the far rights & THEIR idea of…
“Traditional #familyvalues ”…how #drag #books #college #lgbtqia are destroying the country…
Has anyone considered it could be the corrosive levels of #Gambling ?
It’s so normalized!
So pervasive.
Isn’t that the plot of “Guys & Dolls” for crying out loud!
No seriously…where are the “#church folks, #evangelicals”
How about #MomsforLiberty ?
Gee…I wonder why?

COMMENT. Somewhat dated, I document the state of transphobia in the U.S.
~2022-2022 (esp. waves of anti-trans state legislature model acts) &
Ron DeSantis' horrifically transphobic campaigns ...
