Remember the swastika painted on the school rocks in Shippensburg?
Want to see some real Christian Nationalism racism? Find the fb group “Our Shippensburg Community”. There’s some real gems on that page.
Dougie’s district is full of hate and spitefulness.

Party that screams “parental choice” won’t let others make those choices.
You’ve always had the ability to restrict what material your child has access to, the problem is, it requires you to actually be involved and do the work.

The family that owns it are hard core evangelicals. If you’re not white and Christian you can have a hard time working there.

Tons of money pouring from the churches into Dougie’s pockets. Also companies like Martin’s Potato Rolls are huge backers.

Moved to Allentown in 1983, my mom bought me Nylon Curtain and said look he has a song named Allentown on it!! It’s a great place!!
Mom was never one to pay attention to the lyrics.

Carlisle has some really great eateries, and a few little specialty shops.
Gettysburg probably is more well known than the intent of your question but the area around the square is a lot of fun.

Reply to Parents sue West Shore school district over character building program by polgara_buttercup
Some comments from the petition they have asking for people to support this lawsuit are straight off the M4L playbook, with variations of “it’s indoctrination, kids should just learn to read and write, they’re teachers not counselors, I will decide what values my child learns” etc.
If you’re inclined to read more for educational purposes only, you can find their petition on change.org.
Personally if you’re that opposed to having thoughtful, kind and inclusive children then homeschool them or pay for private school.

But they can’t pinpoint what they object to in the course work. They just feel it’s wrong. And they specifically said that they don’t want their kids to show respect to everyone, that they reserve the right to look down on “certain people”.

So to clarify, you are leaning to the right side of politics and agree with Moms For Liberty here?

The quote from the article sums up their position so well. They want to make sure their kids hold their biases against people they feel are lesser. They want to be bullies.

Reply to Comparing oil and electric prices for home heat? Debating buying a bunch of space heaters by Salty_Kangaroo_4522
My mil just moved in with us, she’s 88, and we’ve added safe space heaters to her new bedroom and bathroom.
Our electric bill more than doubled. Usually I save money in the winter over the summer cause we have natural gas, but I’ve never had an electric bill this high.
She’s constantly cold, even wearing sweaters and such, so we have to keep it warm for her.

Remember that school board elections are critical! Pay attention to who’s running for those seats and what they want to do with your schools. Moms For Liberty have targeted schools in Mastriano’s district for take over.

Reply to comment by Prestigious-Buy1774 in Pennsylvania politics are heated. It soon could be utter chaos by Yelloeisok
Intent of a Founding Father was to have a democracy that changed with the times, not stayed stagnant in the past.
“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.” Thomas Jefferson
