Targeted list of "wokeness" in MO. All 12 locations are schools.

I apologize for not knowing how to make this link smaller. Also would love it unrolled.

It has been one week since the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

In response, a dark-money group from Missouri launched a "Woke Heat Map" so that fascists can "fight back" against a "woke agenda."

Twelve locations are tagged.

All of them are schools.

2. Later in the thread, someone posts from a message board how dangerous this is

And others are reporting to authorities. I think that is possibly the intent, but anyone can see where this could go given the wrong mindset.

6. I would say probably.

Especially given that Fox News has been known to incite violence. I will say this is something that won’t end well.

Nice way to target schools, both for groups like the so-called "Moms for Liberty" who will show up screaming at school board meetings, and crack-brained gun humpers who want to kill.

7. I taught at one of those schools--Grain Valley HS

Oh so long ago (75-76 school years), for a school at that time was transitioning from a rural community to a suburb of KC it was pretty liberal. New housing developments were going in and being taken by people who worked in KC and Independence. I taught American History, Psychology, and Economics. And I was the Jr. High basketball coach. The principal was awesome, he was a close friend of the Royals 2nd baseman, Frank White.

But teaching in Missouri often bites new teachers, schools are funded by local property taxes that are voted on by the residents in the schools attendance area. The one that year failed, and the 3 new teachers were laid off.

We're both Marshall High and MO Valley College grads. She's smart as a whip and I'm extremely disappointed that she didn't beat Icky Vicky Hartzler in 2020.

I hope she runs again someday.

This stuff should be banned from Twitter. I'm not on Twitter but if I were, I'd report this!

11. UMKC is just 6 blocks away from my mom and where I grew up.

And old friend is a professor there.
I had neighborhood friends that went to Pembroke. It used to be an all boys prep school.

This makes me furious, not just because of the proximity of the schools to my mom but because this organization is doing this to all of these schools. I hope someone is looking into them.

13. Remember when Sarah Fucking Palin put targets on certain congresspeople's districts?

And one of them was Gabby Giffords? Somebody took a gun and shot 18 people, including Gabby Giffords.

This shit can result in dangerous consequences.
