Parents in Virginia claimed they were targeted with violent threats after speaking out against the school district’s LGBT+ agenda.
Mother-of-three Alisha Brand said her critics threatened to curb and kill her because her group Army of Parents fights for “excellence in education, school safety and parental rights.”
“They targeted me in a Facebook group [Loudoun Love Warriors]and they said they wanted to rein me in,” she told Fox and Friends on Friday.
Bumping the curb is “grab someone by the back of the head, force their mouth, push them to the ground with their face on the cement, their mouth around the curb, and then someone else stomps the back of their head.” according to Brand.
“This is murder, it’s a crime, and this is what I was threatened with by these activists associated with our political candidates,” the mother said. “These are real threats. These are death threats.”

Loudoun County Commonwealth attorney Buta Biberaj said in a statement to the school district: ‘Violent threats are never acceptable and can sometimes be criminal. I personally condemn all violent language and my office will investigate whether a crime has been committed. Due to the possibility of a criminal investigation, I am unable to comment further at this time.”
The Loudoun Love Warriors, which appears to have been removed, reportedly had ties to Biberaj, County Supervisor Juli Briskman, School Board President Ian Serotkin, School Board Member Brenda Sheridan, School Board Member Atoosa Reaser, School Board Member Erika Ogedegbe, School Board Candidate Anne Donohue, Sheriff Candidate Craig Buckley and president Phyllis Randall.
None of them have been charged with making the threats.
The threats came after a group of parents spoke out at a recent school board meeting. Threatening to find the parents’ employer and have them fired, one parent said critics even “referred me to the FBI, IRS, and DHS, all because they don’t like my opinion,” according to WJLA TV.
“They’re probably going to sit back and celebrate that I’m unemployed. I am having trouble finding a job. And who knows what’s next with the IRS and the FBI? Don’t know. But they’ve done more than just put me out of work. It affects my family, my children,” Loudoun parent Scott Mineo told the outlet.

Mark Winn was attacked after saying at a rally in December 2022 that “[LGBT] behaviors should never have been promoted, taught or encouraged in the schools you oversee.”
He received messages in the Facebook group such as, “Let’s put him out of work with love or force” and “I wish I had footage of every single person applauding him and giving them the same impeachment Winn is about to have” , according to WJLA-TV.
“It shocked me,” Winn said.
Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears said the group was “nothing but hate.”
“As far as I understand, if the reports are true, and I’m not responding to them as a lieutenant governor, I’m responding to them as a normal, sane human being, if you hear what this group is trying to do, they’re trying to save lives.” destroy it,” she told WJLA-TV. “They’re going to make you lose your job permanently, you’re going to possibly lose your life because they’re talking about it [disassemble] you, and they might shoot you too.

“Now remember, this is the kind of group that says they’re against guns, unless I suspect they’re the ones with the guns. So folks, we need to get a grip. We are destroying America from within. This is what our enemies do to us. This is not us what we do to ourselves.’
In addition to wanting an apology from the parents, Brand has even sought help from Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, in hopes that he and his team will investigate the threats.
She also wants the House Judiciary Committee to enact legislation that protects parents who speak out in public forums.
“This is a First Amendment,” she told Fox and Friends.
