    The article doesn’t live up to the headline. Yes, they’ve become hotbeds for anger and chaos, but how? What’s getting these people so riled up about these perceived issues that they’re disrupting school board meetings and attacking board members and other parents?

      Political Action Groups hire people as agents through churches. Then those agents cause trouble. Moms for Liberty is a great example. They get people who don’t even have kids to help.

      Sign up for a shitty Florida church then attend their sermons online. You’ll hear some symbolic bs or code they use to get people to unwittingly join them. Maybe you will even get lucky and hear the church chant out a reportable crime.

      But yea, corporations do it too.

      Online propaganda. In one of the world news communities yesterday, there was a post about the UK forcing teachers to disclose to parents if their child mentions anything about gender identity in schools. Several users went off on rants about how schools indoctrinate children and blah blah blah and this is the same garbage mindset that they bring to their local school board meetings. We’ve got too many dumb people with strong opinions roaming around now.
