Parents Defend Themselves from Violent Antifa Militants at ‘Education Over Indoctrination’ Protest

September 22, 2023 by Brandon Morse Leave a Comment

Wherever traditional values are being fought for, you can expect the left’s foot soldiers to show up and begin attempting to intimidate and assault people. When Antifa heard parents were getting together to keep political indoctrination out of their schools, they were compelled to show up in force.

As originally reported by Post Millennial, the “Education over Indoctrination” event in Toronto attracted the attention of the radical leftists, spurring a physical confrontation that involved a 16-year-old getting punched by an Antifa militant who was eventually unmasked: 

The “Education over Indoctrination” event, which was organized by Billboard Chris and Josh Alexander to protest against radical gender ideology and LGBTQ indoctrination happening in Canadian classrooms, kicked off around 11 am at Victoria Park College Institute and Annunciation Catholic School.

Hundreds of individuals convened outside of these two adjacent schools to make their voices heard when Antifa and other far-left agitators arrived to violently disrupt the event in a militant-like fashion. They immediately started assaulting people who were peacefully protesting in the crowd, which included students, parents, and veterans.

Nick Alexander, a 16-year-old student at Annunciation Catholic School, who is the brother of event organizer Josh Alexander, was left bloodied after being violently beaten by a black-clad member of Antifa who had his identity concealed behind a mask.

The Antifa militant punching a 16-year-old was caught on camera as well. His face was then exposed by police.

Another man was swarmed by Antifa and was later arrested himself. It is currently unclear what the police arrested him for.

According to student activist Josh Alexander, who was interviewed by Post Millennial, his brother and the gentlemen were arrested after they were assaulted by Antifa. Alexander would later say the police arrested his brother over not following orders, though it’s unclear why the other gentleman in the video above was arrested. 

“It’s easier for police to arrest the two victims rather than the entire crowd of perverted and corrupted unions, so…that’s what they did, I guess,” said Alexander.

This is not the first time Antifa has attacked parents protesting the political indoctrination of their children at school. In Glendale, California, parents had a physical confrontation with Antifa at a school board meeting.

This isn’t the first time parents have been forced to confront Antifa and it won’t be the last. As more and more parents become involved in removing the culture of political indoctrination from their children’s schools, you can bet militants will make an appearance to intimidate and dissuade parents from doing what they need to do to keep their kids safe.

CDC Forgets to Redact Emails Positing COVID Vaccine Requirements for Children

September 14, 2023 by Freedom Foundation Leave a Comment

As part of its ongoing work to hold teachers’ unions accountable for their undeniable role in keeping kids out of the classroom, the Freedom Foundation submitted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the U.S. Department of Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), looking for more signs of collusion between the unions and the nation’s health officials. 

What we found was rather surprising, and perhaps for many parents across the country, infuriating. 

Americans are becoming increasingly familiar with the concept of “trial balloons” that test the public response to a political agenda item. Accidentally left unredacted (because it was specifically marked for redaction) was an email exchange between high-ranking officials at CDC longing for the ability to mandate COVID vaccines for school children:

In the emails, CDC officials reacted to an Aug. 12, 2021, press release from the National Education Association (NEA), the country’s largest teachers union, in which the NEA endorsed mandatory vaccination and/or regular testing requirements for educators.

The NEA’s endorsement of such mandates for its members came two weeks after the CDC recommended universal masking for school staff and students going into the 2021-22 academic year. Within days of the NEA’s press release, major school districts and left-leaning states began to announce vaccination requirements for public school employees, but not students. While many educators were vaccinated, some resisted such requirements and were disappointed by their union’s decision to side with management on the issue.

Daaiyah Bilal-Threats, senior director of the NEA’s Education Policy and Implementation Center, emailed the press release to officials at the White House, the Department of Education and HHS on Aug. 12, 2021. Shortly thereafter, the email was forwarded by Sherri Berger, the CDC’s deputy director for policy, communications and legislative affairs, to Debra Lubar, the CDC’s director for the Office of Policy, Performance and Evaluation.

In her reply to Berger, Lubar reacted to the NEA’s endorsement of vaccination requirements for educators by writing, “Wish they’d say it for students!”

The first vaccine for 16-year-olds and older was approved in December 2020 and vaccination of 12- to 17-year-olds began in May 2021, but elementary-age children did not start receiving FDA-approved COVID vaccines until November 2021—three months after Lubar’s email.

While the CDC eventually added COVID-19 vaccines to its recommended childhood vaccination schedule in February 2023, it has not recommended vaccination as a requirement for school attendance. Generally, this authority resides at the state and school district level.

To-date, according to the National Academy for State Health Policy, the only public school system to mandate student vaccination for COVID-19 is District of Columbia Public Schools, effective for the 2023-24 academic year. Twenty-one states have banned COVID-19 vaccine requirements for schoolchildren.

Disturbingly, CDC officials tried to redact Lubar’s comments, but accidentally neglected to do so before producing the emails to the Freedom Foundation. Redacting text using Adobe software, which the CDC appeared to use, is a two-step process: (1) Highlighting the text to be redacted; and, (2) applying the redaction. Unapplied redactions are highlighted, but the text remains visible.

In this case, Lubar’s, “Wish they’d say it for students!” comment was highlighted for redaction, but the redaction was not applied.

Additionally, federal agencies commonly type over any redacted text a citation to the FOIA exemption they believe justifies the redaction. In this case, “(b)(5)” was typed over Lubar’s unredacted comment. As the CDC explained in the cover letter accompanying the emails,

“FOIA exemption (b)(5) protects inter-agency or intra-agency memoranda or letters which would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency. This exemption protects documents that would be covered by any privilege an agency could assert in a civil proceeding. These privileges include, among others, the deliberative process privilege, the attorney client privilege, and the attorney work-product privilege. In this instance, the deliberative process privilege applies.”

In light of the text the CDC intended to redact, one of two conclusions is possible from the claimed deliberative process exemption. Perhaps the CDC really considered imposing COVID-19 vaccination requirements on students and Lubar’s comment was made in the context of such serious deliberations. But unjustified and prolonged school closures were an epic public policy failure, the residual effects of which will be suffered for years to come, and the addition of a highly controversial student vaccine mandate would have made matters worse.

Alternatively—and probably more likely—the CDC was not actively considering such a mandate but did not want to endure the controversy that Lubar’s off-the-cuff remark could precipitate and tried to redact it without legal justification. If this is the case, the CDC does its credibility no favors by ham-handedly attempting to violate open government laws to avoid disclosure of embarrassing comments by its top officials.

Regardless, the Freedom Foundation believes these emails should be available to all Americans, in case of another trial balloon.
