While every major outlet in the state covered the anti-trans letter as an organic outpouring of concern from education professionals, I noticed something else: I noticed Brad Miller. Let me show you what I mean: 1/

This video was shared on another page. The creators provided clips of the attorney who was hired by Woodland Park, Elizabeth, and Montezuma-Cortez school districts. He works closely with the controversial former superintendent and recalled board member, Ken Witt. #edusky youtu.be/l0XFeLtQGJQ?...

Delores SD Superintendent Lis Richards mentioned in this article hired Justin Schmitt while under indictment for conspiracy to defraud CA for $80,000,000. He eventually plead guilty to a felony and then it was reduced to a misdemeanor. He works at M-CSD now. tultican.com/tag/justin-s...

The Justin Schmitt mentioned in this article about Delores SD now works as Montezuma-Cortez School District as the Exec Director of HR. Aaron Salt, the controversial Academy D20 school board member originally was hired for a similar job in Woodland Park. 🤔 tultican.com/tag/justin-s...

IS MONTEZUMA-CORTEZ SCHOOL DISTRICT THE NEXT WOODLAND PARK? Lawsuits. Legal Intrigue. Attacking critics. Listen to the first few minutes when Attorney Brad Miller from El Paso County speaks about limited protections for free speech and sanctioning people. #edusky www.youtube.com/live/e12IrDd...

This is not a partisan issue. This admin is preventing communities from improving their infrastructure, expanding social projects, and protecting natural resources such as the Shoshone Water Rights purchase in the Western Slope.

@indivisible-co.bsky.social @coloradoea.bsky.social @acluofcoloradk.bsky.social Are you following this? While we ALL can agree that we need to protect kids, this bill is a mess that causes more problems than it solves.

Do your schools know about this ambiguous bill that will force them to remove ALL URL’s and embedded links from teaching materials?! @indivisible-co.bsky.social @coloradoea.bsky.social @progressnowco.bsky.social @aftunion.bsky.social @weldcountydems.org @adamscountydems.bsky.social

So the Department of Education opened up its anti-DEI portal so people can narc on educators. It would be a shame if it got flooded with inaccurate reports, wouldn't it? enddei.ed.gov #WritingCommunity #buildtheresistance #EduSky

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

This is the organization behind that hit list website called the "DEI Watch List." They published pictures and names of people they targeted because of this war on DEI. Many of the people are women and minorities. Their CEO is Tom Jones from Kentucky. americanaccountabilityfoundation.com

This school board member in Northern Colorado constantly causes distractions, makes wild accusations, and causes general chaos. She also spreads anti-LGBTQ+ misinformation and hate speech. www.nancyfortsd.com/2024/03/12/h...

Read about the lawyer, Brad Miller, who is a key puppet and puppeteer in undermining public education in CO. His BIL is CO Sen. Paul Lundeen. supportwpschools.com/2023/08/leak...

This district stands up to extremists. They are often the target of the CO GOP staffer, Darcy S., who accuses them of things like being perverts & mentally ill. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/01/desp...

This is one of the school districts where extremists drop policies tied to Project 2025 and the efforts to eliminate LGBTQ+ people from society. gazette.com/news/educati...

The Elizabeth School District is the subject of yet another investigation. An employee of Haitian descent was allegedly fired after speaking out against the Board banning books. The banned books mostly involved minority groups. www.chalkbeat.org/colorado/202...

A political activist who is known to volunteer at St.Peter School in Monument, CO has been posting threats like this screenshot shared by another CO resident. Look her up. If someone unstable reads a post like her post, it’s not a stretch to fear they might resort to violence.

@cocharterwatch.bsky.social @dianeravitch.bsky.social The founder of these NY & CT charter schools is a featured speaker for the Colorado League of Charter Schools conference. www.thecut.com/article/didd...

The Daniels Fund has been generous with their money in the education sector for many years. However, around 2019 the conservative organization took a turn to the far right.This 2024 piece sheds light. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2024/02/the-...

Wait, did Musk just do a Nazi salute?

Co Springs ppl r say there’s possible financial misconduct by the D11 Superintendent. Found he failed to inform ppl abt a massive safety problem at an existing school while repurposing voter-approved MLO funds (to address building problems) to a pet project. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Fgmda9/

It’s not my problem…

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

SCOOP: Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months. Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's “sensitive content” policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content", Meta said they are fixing this “error” after I reached out for comment.

There is a lot we can learn from the care Indigenous People give others.

“1984” thrives at Twitter; this is the directive from Mr Absolute Free Speech:

After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false. www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/12/new-...

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

Colorado is known to have many ties to militia, so this is an important thread to read.
