Combatting moms for liberty misinformation- 2022 midterm series #4/4

The Clean Slate is a danger to our community, our teachers, and our students.
Glenn Gogoleski’s sister shared her concerns with the community should her brother win a seat on our school board. In this article you can see multiple examples of his questionable ethics that she had screenshot before he deleted them from his social media accounts when he joined the school board race.
In Glenn’s rebuttal to his sister's accusations he states "As for the Buffalo man pic, I had to post that when the leftist media called January 6 an “insurrection.” This low-grade riot, which couldn’t hold a candle to the average “mostly peaceful” BLM riots as seen in major cities EVERYWHERE, was apparently led by that dude wearing a buffalo hat and carrying a spear.”
Glenn Gogoleski is in the extremist camp that the insurrection, that left five dead and scores of others seriously wounded, was nothing more than a calm riot exaggerated by the left. Then goes on to try and compare the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests to the insurrection.
The race double standards in this situation are clear. BLM was protesting literally for their lives while the siege of the capital was an attempted coup that in the words of Rep. Cori Bush was the direct result of a “white supremacist president who incited a white supremacist insurrection”
And here is where we get down to the real issue- we don’t just have unqualified people attempting to overthrow our school board, they are people who are down right dangerous!
Gogoleski proudly displays the ‘Three Percenters’ flag which The Washington Post reports represents is an “organization considered by extremism experts to be a self-described militia group that espouses right-wing, libertarian ideals, but has in recent years become an ardent supporter of Trump and has mobilized in opposition to more restrictive gun regulation, coronavirus-related shutdowns and racial justice protests.” Three Percenters militia members were charged in U.S. Capitol attack.
He also publicly displays hate symbols as defined by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). His response when called out about this was “The OK symbol was posted when hearing the ADL made the claim it was racist, for no other reason than to say “racist”. Every left-leaning group needs a cause no matter how infantile and imbecilic it might be.” Check out this NPR article which describes the ADL’s concerns with this specific symbol. This is the same symbol numerous white supremacist have been flashing recently including the guy who murdered 49 people in New Zealand mosques (see photo here).
Numerous public discussions show that Gogoleski feels its funny to flash this symbol to get reactions from the left and that it's “just a hoax” but as this article explains “dismissing the spread of the hand signal as a hoax overlooks two hard realities: first, that its increasing use gives open license to actual racist ideologues to operate and recruit under the cover of the “plausible deniability” established by less ideological young trolls; and second, that any kind of wink-and-nudge interaction with the racist right is a direct route to its normalization. . .
While the people who flash the sign can always readily claim innocence of any racist intent by attesting that they “only meant it ironically” and that their real purpose was to anger liberals, minorities and “social justice warriors (SJWs),” they can’t so readily escape ethical culpability for their role in the spread of hateful ideologies and their effects, including a global spike in hate crimes. Nor can they blame members of the minority groups who reasonably find such hand signals potentially threatening for being upset.”
Additionally, this same hand gesture symbolizes the Three Percenters' belief in the disputed claim that only three percent of American colonists fought against the British in the American Revolution. The three extended fingers represent this three percent and is a way that members identify each other. “It is this Threeper version of the “OK” hand symbol that actually predates the 4chan troll campaign”
The Clean Slate has proven over and over again that their agenda and beliefs are dangerous to our teachers.
In another Hartland Clean Slate cited source, Rise of ‘Fed Ed’ Accelerated Demise of Real Education it says that “The U.S. Department of Education, which has centralized control over education in an unprecedented manner, has also played a crucial role in weaponizing America’s public education system against individual liberty. . .
Established in 1979 under President Jimmy Carter, the cabinet-level department was basically part of a quid pro quo agreement with the socialist-controlled National Education Association (NEA). The powerful union, which named the socialist and humanist Dewey as its “honorary life president,” was already acting as a sort of national ministry of education.”
The article continues to say that “by the time the U.S. Department of Education was established, Congress’s investigative committees charged with exposing communists and preventing infiltration of the federal government had long since been disbanded. As such, it’s difficult to determine how many actual communists worked within the department. . .
This is animal training, not education. This is what was being used in communist countries to train and brainwash their populations, not educate them. Because of the Department of Education, it’s being used all over America, too.”
Hartland, do you want people who believe that our teachers aren't educating our kids? That they are being brainwashed?
The Clean Slate has proven to be dangerous to our students.
A HCS parent asked on the public ‘Glenn Gogoleski for Hartland School’ FaceBook page if he would work to protect ALL students and if he understands that marginalized kiddos are at risk of dying by suicide. Glenn’s reply;
“As for the “dying by suicide” argument, although a wonderful progressive talking point, just isn’t true. In fact, the opposite is true.” Then he cites a non peer reviewed, deeply flawed, pseudo-science study. Check out this post for further information about how problematic the sources are that the Clean Slate is citing.
Additionally, the ‘Clean Slate’ (Glenn told 'Karen n Dan' to make this post public) proved just how dangerous they will be by taking a young child’s words, twisted them around, and spread lies about her on public FaceBook posts (that have since been removed/screen shots available upon request) and on Tik Tok. Not to mention Holly Nayler doesn’t have any grandchildren!
Yet another example is The ‘Clean Slate’ has no problem putting children's faces and full names on public blast. Liking comments calling kids “fricken weird!!!” How do people not see how dangerous this is?? Making CHILDREN targets in order to further their political agenda is next level NOT OK. Fear based campaigns rooted in discrimination are happening right here in Livingston County. (We purposefully have not included the screenshot of the children’s faces and names, but the public post is still up for anyone to see).
The Clean Slate is intent on putting into motion a campaign aimed at attacking school staff and students— to hone in on gender identity and overly sexualize it in the same way we saw in the 70s. If they can convince people that when their kids go to school that something terrible is going to happen to them, parents will fight back. This obsessive worry about children’s safety in a world filled with predators creates fertile ground for the spread of conspiracy thinking. This Tik Tok does a good job highlighting this phenomenon.
The made-up "moral panic" over children’s well-being taps into people’s worst fears and instincts and achieves it through lies. Some outside groups (i.e., Moms for Liberty) and politicians are heavily invested in confusing and scaring parents to score partisan points and gain political power. Understand that when you see a charge like “grooming” or “indoctrination" it is because certain politicians and organizations are invested in using scare tactics and exploiting fears. *They are scaring and confusing people to gain political power*
Moms for Liberty fiercely advocated for the “Don’t Say Gay” bill that passed in Florida. A quick glance at the group’s official Twitter accounts shows that their agenda has become more comprehensive and aggressive this past year. The page is filled with posts or retweets condemning “transgender indoctrination.” Linking LGBTQ-inclusivity to pedophilia and calling for jail time and fines for educators who teach “critical race theory,” social-emotional learning (SEL), and other concepts that have become distorted and demonized by the right.
The Clean Slate has also proved to be dangerous to other marginalized groups of children. The spokesperson for the Clean Slate, Brooke Chapel, tries to incite an angry mob to force the exclusion of a special education student from public schools. Chapel called in an unsubstantiated threat to 911 in an apparent attempt to have the student arrested. See this post for more on this situation.
We will end this post with Gogoleski’s own words that speak for itself;
“In history, several organizations and dictators like the Hitler Youth of the Third Reich, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro and others knew the success of any propaganda campaign starts with a nation's indoctrination of its youth.”
