      Projection is real and this is why everyone needs to do shadow work.

    When I think of Moms for Liberty, I think some white woman named Karen from Florida, who goes to Trump rallies on the weekends and gets real worked up about critical race theory and trans people, not a black man from Chicago. I guess America is an equal opportunity place for ignorant bigots.

    Sheila Armstrong, another GOP ward leader who chairs the local Moms for Liberty chapter, expressed surprise, saying that she had just received from the state Department of Human Services a “child abuse history certification” in Fisher’s name so he could volunteer for an upcoming Christmas party for an autism nonprofit that she leads.

    “Do you have any such certificate?”

    “At the time, I was the victim,” Fisher said. “What they did was basically trumped up charges to drown out the complaints that I was making on the issues of human rights.”

    A quick quote from the sexual predator, the one who pleaded guilty. Also…

    The charging documents allege that Fisher had oral and anal sex with the 14-year-old boy in January 2011.

      “What they did was basically trumped up charges to drown out the complaints that I was making on the issues of human rights.”

      I’m guessing those “human rights” included the “right” to abuse children.

    It’s sadly very common for abusers to try to remove their kids from public schools. My wife is a mandatory reporter. The day after she reported severe bruising on a child to dcfs the mother was on Facebook complaining that the school was out to get her while asking about homeschool options. Others chimed in saying that they had also pulled their kids out due to “being singled out.”

    Who could’ve ever seen this coming, besides pretty much anyone who has been paying attention? It’s almost like they don’t give a shit about kids and only exist to try to control them.
