Harlow pointed me to the Web site of a local group called Community Patriots Manatee. The site features a call to action under the heading “Woke Buster’s Wanted.” The call reads, in part, “Whether your a Tax Payer, Parent, Grandparent, or Community Member, the society that is trying to be created by this deranged wokeness is nothing more than Mental Abuse for Children which WILL ultimately lead into Physical Abuse!” It informs prospective Woke Busters, “We may be in the process of removing books, reviewing curriculum, and making our case with the administrators and school board but this is only the tip of the iceberg. We have to STAY involved and vigilant!”

I'm sorry, it does weary a soul, doesn't it

The lack of a correct "you're" in the first sentence is especially promising for the rest of the message.
"Buster's wanted" tipped me off even earlier!
"Weather your a Tax Pair, Parrot,..."
The person who once was a teenager fell asleep and was replaced by a duplicate grown in a pod
Anyone have an update from the school board meeting? I know I'm not the only Jewish atheist ally who cried over this.
