Far right, Nazis show up as Polk County, FL School Board kills proclaimations
The proposal to eliminate ALL proclaimations from the Polk County, FL school board passed with the extreme right (including Nazis) supporting and LGBTQ+ activists objecting.
LGBTQ+ activists called out the hypocrisy and religious bigotry of those favoring the vote to abolish all proclaimations so as to avoid the Pride proclaimation. One also called out the felony committed by School Board member Rick Nolte. He accepted a $5,200 cash campaign contribution. More than $5000 is a 3ed degree felony in Florida. As expected with ruling class "just-us," his punishment was a $1250 fine.
One of the hard Fascists was photographed in the seats wearing Nazi Germany's 1939 Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds. Probably the Nazi equivalent of a store bought SEAL trident as the actual medal was awarded only ONCE and five more captured by US troops. While the wearer did not speak, the swastika in the center of the Iron Cross in this medal makes his loyalties clear.
Video begins with videographer arguing with a DeSantis, pointing out that DeSantis (as a theocrat) is to the right even of the Nazis, and that an attempt to impose a Christian Nationalist theocracy would end in civil war. Right-wingers were later reminded by the same videographer that they would be fighting a war of choice with nothing even to gain, while their opponents fight a war of survival.
