Wisconsin MassResistance team stops “cancel culture” attempt by local school officials against activist’s job

 Wisconsin MassResistance team stops “cancel culture” attempt by local school officials against activist’s job

Not only did he keep his job, but company president apologized to him!

Pro-family people aren’t standing for this anymore!

February 14, 2024
ALT TEXT Caleb, one of our great MassResistance activists in Kenosha, Wisconsin testifies before the School Board about how the school's obscene books hurt children terribly. He got targeted by officials!

Across the country, leftists try to punish pro-family people for speaking out by threatening and harassing their employers to get them fired from their jobs.

As a result, conservatives often silence themselves in fear. But not our Wisconsin MassResistance team!

For the past eight months, our Kenosha, Wisconsin group has been speaking forthrightly and protesting at School Board meetings. They’ve been pushing for parental notification and parental rights policies. They are demanding that all the LGBT programs and indoctrination be removed from the schools – including the obscene and sexually graphic books in the school libraries.

ALT TEXT The local Wisconsin MassResistance people were relentless - and the school officials hated that!

The parents were able to get the district to remove some books from the school libraries. But then, near the end of 2023, the School Board doubled down and set up an ad hoc committee to review one of the most egregious books, All Boys Aren’t Blue. Among other depravities, the book describes in sexually explicit detail a ten-year-old boy being raped by his older male cousin. People across the country are sickened by this book.

The five-person committee to review this pornographic book was made up of three school staff members, a homosexual parent “married” to another man, and one conservative parent. The committee voted 4-1 to keep the book in the school.

Attempt to cause an activist to lose his job

But that wasn’t the end of it. One of our activists, Caleb, had been particularly vocal at School Board meetings about the obscene materials. He also filed book challenges with the school district. After they decided to keep All Boys Aren’t Blue, two prominent school employees who were on the ad hoc committee – the principal of the high school and a school district library director – decided to punish Caleb and get him fired from his job at a local restaurant.

After hearing rumors about this, Caleb approached his manager, concerned that his job was in jeopardy. She told him that the president of the group that owns the restaurant had been approached by the principal and library director. They told the restaurant group president that if Caleb continued to work there, the school district would likely stop using the restaurant for its catering, events, and other business. They accused Caleb of publicizing their personal phone numbers. (Caleb had never done so and was able to prove that.)

MassResistance activists were outraged when they heard this! Dozens of them let the restaurant know in very strong terms that if they fired Caleb, they would make sure that the entire community would know never to eat there. They were relentless with this messaging through social media and other venues.

Two days later the president of the group that runs the restaurant called Caleb and the restaurant manager into a private meeting. He apologized to Caleb for what he had been through and assured him that his job was secure!

Afterwards, the restaurant manager – who is also a Wisconsin MassResistance member – told Caleb that if he had been unfairly terminated, she would have given two weeks’ notice and quit.

But this story isn’t finished

The high school principal and the district library director acted abominably and inexcusably. They had no authority to make those threats to the restaurant – that the school district would cease doing business with the restaurant unless Caleb was fired. Both of them need to be fired.

That will likely be the subject of the next School Board meeting. Public employees must not be allowed to intimidate community members. They cannot deviously act to cause people to lose their livelihoods. The Wisconsin MassResistance team is not backing down one inch.

Final thoughts

First, this incident shows how important it is for pro-family people to take on the Left without fear – and not simply back down in the face of harassment.

And secondly, it reinforced how many of the people running our schools are personally depraved and emotionally deviant sociopaths. No normal person would want that pornographic book anywhere near school students. But these people are aggressive about wanting children exposed to it. And they believe they have the right to interfere in other people’s lives.

The whole corrupt education system needs to be confronted.

After Wisconsin MassResistance raised the alarm: Catholic Diocese halts LGBT effort by two liberal Catholic churches

 

After Wisconsin MassResistance raised the alarm: Catholic Diocese halts LGBT effort by two liberal Catholic churches

The churches (and their leaders) had been part of radical group distributing graphic LGBT sexual books for children.

The Left lashes back at our success – but to no avail!

December 30, 2023
ALT TEXT The local coalition of odious left-wing churches was pushing "freedom to read" pornography for children.

In many places, the Catholic Church leadership is under fire by faithful Catholics for its unwillingness to oppose (or even for its complicity in) the LGBT agenda. But in Wisconsin, the Church leadership has stood tall. With help from our MassResistance activists in Kenosha, the Archbishop of Milwaukee ordered two local Catholic churches (and various Church officials) to cease and desist their involvement in a group pushing pornographic LGBT books on children.

Removal of pornographic books from school libraries angered radical leftists

Beginning last summer, our Wisconsin MassResistance chapter in Kenosha successfully pressured the local school system to remove several horrible pornographic LGBT books from the school libraries. This was applauded by parents.

But it angered the rabid pro-LGBT anti-family leftists who are obsessed with pushing their filthy material on children.

Leftists organize to distribute “banned” LGBT porn books to children in the community

On Sept. 29, the MassResistance parents in Kenosha were shocked to read an article in the local newspaper. A coalition of local far-left churches calling itself “Congregations United to Serve Humanity” (CUSH) was collecting copies of the “banned” homosexual- and transgender-themed books pushing sexuality on children.

They told the newspaper that their collection will include graphic homosexual sex books such as Gender Queer and This Book is Gay. CUSH would then create a “traveling LGBTQ library” to make the books available to children across the city.

CUSH outrageously labeled their pornography effort as “Freedom to Read” (a phrase peddled by the American Library Association). In their public announcement, CUSH dishonestly mixed the LGBT books with so-called “banned” books from decades ago and “civil rights” books which parents have no problems with. But it was clear that their true intentions were to promote LGBT pornography to children.

Two local Catholic churches involved

Several of our MassResistance parents in Kenosha are devout Catholics. They were particularly shocked to see that two local Catholic churches were listed as members of the CUSH coalition, and leaders from those churches were on the CUSH Board of Directors!

Those churches were known to be “liberal,” but this was beyond the pale.

Getting the Archdiocese involved

On Oct. 2, the Catholic MassResistance parents contacted the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, which oversees Kenosha:

We have been fighting pornography in our public school libraries. To find out that St. Mary's and St. Mark's are members of an organization that is working against us and the teachings of the Catholic Church is scandalous. This should not be tolerated. Could you please address this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

The Archdiocese takes action!

Several weeks went by. Finally on Nov. 27, the Vicar for Clergy of the Archdiocese responded to our activists.

He told the parents that the Archdiocese had spoken to the pastors of the two churches directly. He also sent the pastors and their staff an official letter on behalf of the Archbishop on Nov. 21, which was also made public. The letter stated the Archbishop’s position very clearly:

None of our parishes, clergy, parish leadership, and staff as official, public representatives of the Catholic Church, can support, or publicly be affiliated with CUSH.

It turns out that for the past several years the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) had been giving grants to CUSH, totaling over $200,000. Earlier this year, the Archdiocese had stopped approving those grants because of CUSH’s support for abortion. But its objection did not go further than that. This new policy statement made the disassociation from CUSH complete – and also sends a strong message about support for LGBT activities.

Religious Catholics celebrate this big victory

Also on Nov. 27, a member of MassResistance’s leadership team (who is also a lector at Mt. Carmel Catholic Church in Kenosha) issued the following public statement:

I'm very active in the Catholic community here in Kenosha and it's deeply disturbing that two parishes are listed as members of an organization that is wildly anti-Catholic in their beliefs and mission. It's no secret that St. Mark and St. Mary are the more "liberal" of the city's parishes and, at best, fail to properly address moral issues in our society today. The liturgical abuses, wacky preaching, pro-LGBTQ messaging, and their support of an extremist organization in CUSH, which proliferated pornographic material to minors just this past month at their "Banned Book Drive" in partnership with the infamous host location of Drag Queen Story Hour, Blue House Books, has gone largely unnoticed and unpunished. I'm so pleased that the Archdiocese has ordered them to disassociate with this radical liberal organization in conjunction with depriving CUSH of funding. My heartfelt thanks go out to Abp. Listecki and Fr. Reesman for their faithfulness.

This statement was also published in a conservative news site serving the Kenosha region, the Kenosha County Eye:

ALT TEXT The conservative media in Wisconsin tells it like it is!

Angry CUSH leftist lashes out

The forced disassociation by the two liberal Catholic churches, as well as the loss of CCHD financial support, inflamed the local radical church leaders still in CUSH.

On Dec. 17, a female Unitarian assistant minister in the group wrote a scathing op-ed in the local liberal press denouncing “extremist groups and individuals in our area” (i.e., MassResistance parents) who were informing the community and the Archdiocese exactly what CUSH was doing.

The article repeats the litany of leftist lies, distortions, disinformation, and logical fallacies that they throw together whenever they are challenged. Every one of her absurd points can be easily debunked. She is obviously counting on an audience of readers that is completely ignorant and lacking in critical thinking regarding this issue. It should be embarrassing – but they are beyond shame.

Final thoughts

Winning battles like this may seem fairly inconsequential at first. But they’re not at all! The psychological effect on the other side is bigger than you might think. And they bring instant momentum for the next win!

Kenosha is on a roll! We’ll have more to report in the coming weeks.
