4. The intent is not for parents to exercise control over their children. Either the school acknowledges LGBTQ pride month, or it does not. The intent is to align the entire school with a reactionary political agenda. https://popular.info/p/inside-the-audacious-new-scheme-to

5. During a January 19 Zoom meeting obtained by http://popular.info, Nathan Pawl, one of GSI's co-founders, said the group aimed to have "20, 30, 50, or 100 parents per school" start "dropping off the opt-out forms" in February. The goal is to OVERWHELM the schools

6. To comply with GSI's opt-out form, Pawl says, the only option would be "to transform our schools.”WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsrXgESoEQo

7. GSI, however, doesn't expect Michigan schools to simply comply with their demands. So, with legal support from the far-right @ThomasMoreSoc@twitter.com, GSI plans to overwhelm schools with litigationDuring a 10/21 meeting, a lawyer described the strategy as "asymetrical lawfare"

@ThomasMoreSoc@twitter.com 8. Under Michigan law, parents who don't believe their opt-out request is being honored can file a complaint with the district. The district then must investigate and issue a report on their findings within 30 days. GSI plans to flood Michigan schools with these complaints

@ThomasMoreSoc@twitter.com 9. This legal process is intended for parents who opted out of sexual education classes, not "rogue sex ed," a concept invented by GSISo it's very possible that school districts will reject the GSI opt-out forms as irrelevant to Michigan law.But that's just the beginning

@ThomasMoreSoc@twitter.com 10. There are two additional appeals that parents can pursue at the administrative level. Each requires school administers to investigate and issue a report. If that fails, parents can take their complaints to Michigan courts.GSI plans to support all this litigation.

11. Obviously, Michigan schools are not set up to handle this amount of litigation. And that's the point. The far-right was defeated at the ballot box in Michigan, so now its headed to the courtroom.

13. There is considerable evidence that GSI is not an organic movement of parents. The GSI website features three testimonials from Michigan parents. But the photos are not of Michigan parents. They are stock images available for purchase online.

14. Funding for GSI and the @ThomasMoreSoc@twitter.com is almost completely opaque. This is a sophisticated effort, but we do not know who is funding it.

@kroner @juddlegum @ademan Someday the world will be free of pedophiles, and that thought is what keeps my heart warm in the meantime.
