14. If you are a parent concerned about your child being exposed to sexual content in 2021, focusing on award-winning books in the high-school library is an odd choice But both books were quickly pulled by the school, pending review https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a — PolitiTweet.org

13. But Parents Defending Education pounced. Asra Nomani, PDE's Vice President for Strategy and Investigations, tweeted a video of Langton's speech, repeating the allegation of pedophilia https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a https://t.co/2LDpwLrWHk — PolitiTweet.org

12. The books at issue, Lawn Boy and Gender Queer, do contain same-sex sexual content but neither contain pedophilia. Both books received the "Alex Award" from the American Library Association for books with "special appeal to young adults ages 12-18" https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a — PolitiTweet.org

11. Let's take a look at how this has played out in the VA Governor's race On 9/23, Stacy Langton, a Fairfax County parent, appeared at the school board and claimed the high school library carried two books that contain "pedophilia" This wasn't true https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a — PolitiTweet.org

10. Since then, the activities of Parents Defending Education, Jackson, and others at school board meetings have been incorporated into Youngkin's political strategy. https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a — PolitiTweet.org

9. Youngkin has made it very clear that the politicization of school boards was a central part of his political strategy. Youngkin laid out his strategy in a video submitted as part of candidate forum hosted by Coalition for TJ earlier this year https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a https://t.co/J3yzFK9IGQ — PolitiTweet.org

7. While Jackson publicly claims to identify as a Democrat, he frequently promotes messages supporting Youngkin and attacks Democrats on his Twitter account. https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a https://t.co/1BskMU93mT — PolitiTweet.org

6. Jackson is an active participant in "Educators for Youngkin," which is part of the campaign of Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin. The chairwoman of "Educators for Youngkin" is Suparna Dutta, who founded Coalition for TJ with Jackson. https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a https://t.co/sivxKV60Oy — PolitiTweet.org

5. In that suit, the Coalition for TJ was represented by the Pacific Legal Foundation, a right-wing legal group that received $1,000,000 from the Charles Koch Foundation in 2019. https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a — PolitiTweet.org

4. Jackson is also a co-founder of Coalition for TJ, a group that opposes changes to admission policies at Thomas Jefferson High School. Earlier this year, the coalition filed suit against changes to the school's admission policy https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a — PolitiTweet.org

3. Jackson is also a member of the "Leadership Team" for Parents Defending Education, a dark money group that launched in March that has extensive ties to the Koch political network https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a https://t.co/zOyVB9GfkD — PolitiTweet.org

2. "I am a concerned parent. I am not a plant. I am not an activist... I've always been identified as a Democrat" That's what Harry Jackson, a Virginian who has generated a lot of media coverage, said on Fox on October 13 Jackson is a parent. But that's not the whole story https://t.co/LzSVFWggSA — PolitiTweet.org

1. The "grassroots" parent uprising in Virginia is supported by dark money groups connected to the Koch political network and integrated into Republican Glenn Youngkin's campaign for governor Follow along for the details https://t.co/iQB03m4s8a — PolitiTweet.org

5. You can use a lot of words to describe this behavior but “moderate” is not a good choice. This is a radical decision to put very specific economic interests ahead of the health of the planet — PolitiTweet.org

4. The only group that could not be made whole is the fossil fuel industry itself and people, like Manchin and his family, who profit from fossil fuel extraction — PolitiTweet.org

3. Manchin could probably have gotten just about anything for West Virginia coal workers, who will not be working very long in the coal industry regardless. But he apparently isn’t interested. — PolitiTweet.org

2. We now learn one of his red lines is the clean energy standard, a provision that isn’t very expensive ($150B), but would go a long way to transitioning the country away from fossil fuels — PolitiTweet.org

1. Manchin always insisted his primary issue with the reconciliation package was the overall cost. This allowed him to avoid talking about the actual substance of the bill. But it wasn’t true. — PolitiTweet.org
