'Lawsuit alleges WI school board teamed up with Moms for Liberty activists to wreck gay principal's' career' & other Mon/Tue news briefs

Editor's note - some folks have commented on my two-day posting weeks. They weren't bad comments, but simply questions of concern. I am alright but I am moving a bit slower, emotionally. Please bear with me and enjoy these posts - even if some of them are news briefs (gotta do that aggregation thing) - because I'm still here and still raising hell as the 20th anniversary of this blog comes up next month.

Now, on to the news . . .

Wisconsin educator Jeff Peterson is suing his former school district, alleging that several board members worked anti-LGBTQ activists, including a Moms for Liberty official, to push false allegations of pedophilia against him in an attempt to destroy his career.

School board conspired with Moms for Liberty activists to destroy gay principal’s career, lawsuit says

 A Wisconsin educator is suing his former school district for discrimination, alleging that several members of the district’s board worked with anti-LGBTQ+ activists to fabricate a pretext to fire him because he is gay, going so far as to allegedly write an “anonymous” letter falsely accusing him of “inappropriate conduct” with children and distributing flyers blaming him for bringing “liberal extremists” to the community. 

 According to Jeffrey Peterson’s lawsuit, the campaign against him included spreading false allegations of “grooming,” cooked up by board members affiliated with anti-LGBTQ+ groups Moms for Liberty, the Natural Family Foundation, and the Convention of States.
