Weekly Update 9/1/24-The one where the Conejo Valley crazy makes a comeback, Kevin McNamee scams with School Vouchers, and the Huntington Beach Fash Four set the scene.

🚨Weekly👉🏼SoCal 👈🏼Update🚨

From Ventura Co. to Huntington Beach, RW extremists are knitting themselves into local politics. Facing a democracy roadblock? They switch gears to dis-info, diversions, and Nazi-style oppressive tactics. Buckle up, Ventura County is upfirst…1/16

Failed Conejo Valley School Board candidate Joelle Mancuso has teamed up with Moms For America, desperate for legitimacy. Rejected by her own community, she’s now pushing something even more hateful—a Huntington Beach city ordinance targeting ALL LGBTQ+ students. 2/16

This new ordinance directly attacks Ca’s AB-1955, a law that protects trans students from mandatory outing. But it doesn’t stop there—it goes beyond: targeting gay, lesbian and bisexual students.
This effort aims to round up all LGBTQ+ minors for marginalization. 3/16

Joelle Mancuso and Moms for America wants bigots to bring this to their city councils in an attempt to make the city enforce what equals a large target on the backs of LGBTQ+ youth, a systemic process of persecution.
Sound familiar? 4/16

Joelle Mancuso and Huntington Beach aren’t just after trans kids—they’re after all queer kids. And why? To distract from scandals involving misappropriated funds and insider deals. 5/16

The Conejo Valley was able to shake Joelle Mancuso, unfortunately now her “mini-me” is running. Meet Nancy Van Volkinburg, Area 1 “parental rights” school board candidate w/a history of supporting school voucher scams. She’s endorsed by the far-right Cal Policy Center. 6/16

And yes, Nancy Van Volkinburg is against showing solidarity with her fellow LGBTQ+ community members and possible future constituents. 7/16

And no surprise Nancy Van Volkinburg is aligned with anti-LGBTQI+ activist Joelle Mancuso. In June 2023, Nancy was so upset that LGBTQI+ citizens were being officially recognized during Pride month, she wrote a letter to @TOAcornNews suggesting the Pride flag was “divisive.” pic.twitter.com/0AvXizY4Cd

Nancy Van Volkinburg’s club was involved in a school voucher scam back in 2022 financed by Dale Broome from Redlands, the Educational Freedom Act. 8/16

The false info these 2 present is expected given @votemcnamee #ceoact has provided ZERO funding details and limited info. However, we can surmise from past failed bills why this formula won’t work, like SB-292 and the Edu. Freedom Act.

The Redlands-Conejo Valley connection remains strong, with Broome behind the scenes. The 2024 Conejo Valley candidates, linked to groups eager to redirect funds from public to parochial schools, now find a new tool in their arsenal: the #CEOact. 9/16

CEO member Dale Broome is a prominent Redlands Tea Party Patriots member. It is reported that he donated a whopping 400,000 to an anti-public education group called Californians for School Choice, and also helped fund a Redlands far-right school board candidate in 2022. pic.twitter.com/y9NvxQgOYI

The CEO Act, the next school voucher scam, is led by Kevin McNamee, a Thousand Oaks City Council member. McNamee has pulled from an embarrassing array of locals to drain public school funds. #ProtectPublicSchools. 10/16

Mancuso, DeDomenico, and Meyers are the far-right Godspeak Calvary backed failed school board candidates from 2022. Their campaigns were run on fear of sexual heath education and LQBTQ youth. Now they join McNamee as CEO members to privatize education. pic.twitter.com/KG1kvllnAf

The CEO Act is also tied to the California Policy Center through its VP Lance Christensen. Visit here to learn more about the #CEOact and the players behind it. 11/16

Kevin McNamee is also in cahoots with CVUSD School Board candidate area 1 Frank Enderle, who lists him as a collaborator on his website. Do we really want anti-public education insiders making deals with our school board? #KeepThemOut 12/16

Frank Enderle is catching slack for making rape jokes, referring to Michelle Obama as a man, and silencing constituents by deleting comments and blocking them on Facebook. Is this school board material? 13/16

🧵We found Frank Enderle’s toxic @frank_enderle twitter account on August 7 2024 and began screenshotting. At this time the infamous rape tweet had only 4 views (because his account lacked engagement). After we started exploring his account, views obviously increased. 1/17 pic.twitter.com/dbUtz58vr2

The far-right and their divisive anti-LGBTQ+, anti-public school agenda only serves to get its foot in the door of local politics, backed by the Council for National Policy affiliated orgs like the Cal Policy Center. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and vote in 2024. 15/16

As always- thank you to all the researchers that contribute their valuable knowledge to our community. 🥰 16/16
