Ms. Jenkins felt it necessary to use her public platform to smear and besmirch the Moms for Liberty Organization instead of listening to the parents that came to this meeting to voice their concerns. Ms. Jenkins made it abundantly clear that her personal vendetta she has for Ms. Tina Descovich, one of the organizations founding members, is more important to discuss than the concerns of the parents in this room.
Ms. Jenkins claimed many things in her public display of political theatre. She started by saying that there was an "elephant in the room", and then claimed that she received post cards from Moms for Liberty members at her personal home with derogatory language and saying that "teachers were horrible". She chastised the moms in the room to "Practice what you preach!" She doubled down on her statement that "Enough is enough. We shouldn't be talking about this anymore." claiming that our organization is spreading "disinformation".
She then went on a rant about how "elections have consequences" and how she is sitting where she is sitting because she is "not a politician".
Not once did Ms. Jenkins address our concerns as parents or the points we brought up. She went into full on attack mode against Ms. Tina Descovich and decided to use her platform to manipulate statements for political gain rather than take into account what any one person from Moms for Liberty said as they addressed the board.
Let me be clear, we as an organization never condone derogatory language when addressing an official, and we denounce if it is true that someone sent letters of that nature, but don’t be fooled... these elected officials all get mail sent to their homes. When you send a letter or post card to 2700 Judge Fran Jameison Way with one of the board's names on it, it gets forwarded from there to their personal home. We’ve asked for proof of these letters and have yet to receive them.
