Loudon County, VA became a model for what concerned parents needed to do to fight back against the radical ideology plaguing our public schools.
During the pandemic, parents got a look at what their kids were learning in school and it wasn’t reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Concerned parents began attending school board meetings to fight against things like Critical Race Theory and LGBT ideology in the county’s public schools.
The ‘loving and tolerant Left’ sprung into action, forming a Facebook group called “Loudoun Love Warriors” and began to target parents who opposed this radical ideology included in school curricula.
Police in Loudoun County launched an investigation after a whistleblower reported the alleged threats the sheriff called “disturbing and almost demonic” coming from the group.
On the list that the whistleblower shared with the sheriff’s office were parents, elected officials, including Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, political candidates, and a church and its affiliated school.
Some of the messages on the group’s page include:
“Im [sic] telling you. SOMETHING has to happen to one of them.”
One commenter wrote: “Something public and permanent.”
Another comment said: “Lives needs [sic] to be ruined beyond repair.”
“Lets actually destroy them. Grind them,” someone wrote.
Other comments suggested it was time to “stop protesting and start fighting back against these people,” and try doing “something different to shut them down.”
“Im soooo ready to show up with guns lol,” one message read.
Another suggested a person’s “life needs to be PERMANENTLY disassembled.”
One of the parents the group allegedly targeted spoke to “Fox & Friends” last week.
Alisha Brand said, “They said that they wanted to curb stomp me. This is murder, it’s a felony, and this is what I was threatened with by these activists who are tied to our political candidates,” Brand said.
Brand is referring to an article in which WJLA reported that the “Loudoun Love Warriors” group “includes people who appear to be associated with Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj, County Supervisor Juli Briskman, School Board Chair Ian Serotkin, school board member Brenda Sheridan, school board member Atoosa Reaser, school board member Erika Ogedegbe, school board candidate Anne Donohue, sheriff candidate Craig Buckley, and Chair Phyllis Randall.”
It was noted though that none of the “elected officials” named “personally made any threats.”
“I’m just astounded,” Gov. Youngkin told WJLA on Wednesday. “I truly am astounded that the suggestion that there could be an organized effort in order to truly tear people down and hurt them; done by people who seemed to have ties to elected officials, at least reported as so.”
“We got to get to the bottom of all of this and it can’t stand, it just can’t,” he said. “It’s a truly, truly shocking revelation if it’s all true. And I know we’re going to get to the bottom of it and hold people accountable as appropriate.”
VA Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Seares spoke out about the irony of the group’s name saying that “there’s nothing but hate in that group.”
The Loudoun County Republican Committee echoed that sentiment in a statement adding that the messages detail anything but love.
