COLORADO, USA — The Colorado Republican Party is issuing a call to its members to pull their children from public school, saying Democrats are using schools to “turn more kids trans.”
The message was delivered in an email blast to Republicans statewide Tuesday.
“All Colorado parents should be aiming to remove their kids from public education,” read the directive from Darcy Schoening, director of special initiatives for the Colorado GOP.
Schoening is a former leader of the El Paso County chapter of the conservative activist group Moms for Liberty.
Under the leadership of Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams, the state Republican Party has tacked to the hard right despite holding less electoral power than at any time since before World War II.
Culture war issues, like attacks on gay and transgender people, especially youth, have become a focus of Republicans nationwide in 2024.
