Tennessee GOP Women’s Group Cites Hitler As Their Example Of “Intelligent Leaders” On Kids Reading List

Tennessee GOP Women’s Group Cites Hitler As Their Example Of “Intelligent Leaders” On Kids Reading List

I want to thank Ten Bears who also had this in his post.  I am not sure if I can find it again but I will put a link below to his main channel if I can find the specific post.  I also had it in my list to post but as he got it done first I wanted to give him credit along with Joe My God.  

When people tell / prove to you who they are believe them the first time.  Republicans are totally in to gaslighting, changing reality from what is real and happened to what will help keep them in power, and they feel keeping the power of their seats in congress / their job is worth more than the people of this country or protecting the country.  They are out for themselves and what they can milk from the job for their family wealth.  For the republicans and some democrats it has long stopped being about leading the country to a better place, to securing the needs of the people, providing for the good of the people as the constitution requires of them.  They see being elected as a golden ticket to wealth and power.   So if being a Nazi is the way to that they will do it, if agreeing with the demented mentally deficient convicted felon in all his absurd whims is how they need to keep that golden ticket they will do it no matter who it hurts or the consequences.  Hugs.

The Chattanooga Free Press reports:

The Tennessee Federation of Republican Women is coming under fire for providing parents a reading list for children that cites Adolf Hitler as an example of leadership. “Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young,” the group’s reading list says.

The list is titled “Growing American Patriots Through Literacy” and posted on the group’s website. “How do we make the changes necessary?” the reading list says, just before the Hitler quote. “Proverbs 22:6 teaches us that if ‘we train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.’” The books suggested include “Camilla Can Vote” by Sen. Marsha Blackburn and “A is for Abigail: An Almanac of Amazing Americans” by Lynne Cheney.

WA man accused of tying noose around teen’s neck because he said he was gay

https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/man-ties-noose-around-teen-neck

OK this is what the right wing regressive movement is all about.  A teen happy with who he was and his friend who may or may not be gay as well, both being harassed and threatened for simply being open about themselves.   They were harming no one, but some asshole right wing adult took offense and wanted to teach them fear for being different from straight cis folk.  This is the right wing / Christian nationalism desire for a 1950s fake culture of only the things they demand be accepted being seen in society.   I remember a person I knew who was elderly asking me why we gays just couldn’t stay in the closet and not let anyone know, it was better then.  I asked for whom?  The answer was those straight cis happy people. 

One of the co-founders of the Florida don’t say gay bill that started all this was a hyper fundamentalist Christian who publically said he wrote the bill because he was upset and disgusted that kids were coming out to their peers and being accepted instead of ostracized, humiliated, and beaten up.  He hated that students, young kids were not targeted for abuse by other kids and teachers.  That stuck with me and burned deeply.  The reason is below.

One day I in science class led by a large what today we would call a maga person teacher, after class ended and I gathered my stuff and started to exit the room I was attacked by a very large kid and his friends.  I was small, about 60 pounds, not even five foot.  I got smashed in the face and body, hit till I fell to the floor.  I knew this feeling, I got it at home, so I did what I did then, covered my face already full of blood, curled up tight and took the kicks and blows.   Before the bell rang again they moved off and I started to uncurl when the teacher grabbed by my shoulder and wrenched me around to face him.  Through tearing blurry eyes I watched as he told me, “This is what you get for being a fagot and I hope they do it again and again”    I went to the bathroom and tried to wash up and stop the blood.  I sat a few classes in the bathroom.  I got marked absent for those classes but no one asked why.  This the world this person who wrote the “Don’t say gay” bill wants to bring back, that they are proud of.   Hugs.  Scottie

Seattle’s ABC affiliate reports:

A 38-year-old Bremerton man was arrested Monday in connection with an alleged assault involving two boys, including his biological son, according to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office. Joseph Sweeney faces multiple charges, including second-degree assault and a hate crime.

The arrest followed allegations that Sweeney assaulted the two boys on October 20. According to the court documents, Sweeney asked his 13-year-old son’s friend if he was gay; when the teen said, “Yes, is it a crime to be gay in this house?” deputies said Sweeney put a noose around his neck and tightened it.

Sweeney allegedly recorded both boys with his cell phone while telling them to kiss each other in an effort to humiliate them, detectives said in the court documents. A search of Sweeney’s residence also led to the discovery of a firearm, which he is prohibited from possessing due to a prior domestic violence protection order issued in Kansas City in 2023.
