In journalism covering the ultra-right, you can find the term “eliminationism,” sometimes paired with “Christian dominionism” (CD). David Niewert has written a lot about this. I was going to say the CD crowd is “underground,” but it’s very much out in the open now. It pre-dates Trump, and even Obama. Tim McVey was a good example. Trump rode its wave for a while, but I’m afraid it will continue without him.
Terrifying, that all a teacher has to do is try explaining to a class that gay people exist, and such a teacher is now "grooming" children -- to be homosexual, or to be exploited or abused, or whatever is in the twisted brains of these freaks. And that teacher is therefore a pedophile and must be punished -- fired at a minimum, all the way to violently attacked.
Trans, gay, or gender-nonconforming kids are at high risk for self-harm and suicide. These opportunist rightwing slimeballs are targeting THE most vulnerable among us -- troubled children -- to use as pawns, in their agenda to bring the hammer down on teachers and teacher unions, and to drive the batcrap crazy GQP base to the polls. I wish there had been a curriculum when my kids were in school, explaining why the use of terms like "fag" and "gay" as pejoratives is destructive and unacceptable.
