Pinellas teachers challenge 2 school board members tied to Moms for Liberty

Pinellas teachers challenge 2 school board members tied to Moms for Liberty


The Pinellas County teachers union and two school board members affiliated with the Moms for Liberty group appear headed for a showdown.

Their differences are coming to a head over the way the board members have talked about one of the union’s most outspoken members.

As candidates, Dawn Peters and Stephanie Meyer made no secret of their disdain for teachers who in their view advanced a liberal agenda in the classroom. They often focused on Dunedin High’s Brandt Robinson, who has gained a high profile by making daily TikTok videos on his views. He also protested outside the Moms for Liberty national conference in Tampa last summer.

Peters stated on Facebook under Robinson’s photo in 2022 that “we have GOT to get these teachers out of our schools!!”

After their election to the board in November, Peters and Meyer continued to criticize Robinson on social media — particularly on the private Moms for Liberty Pinellas chapter page. There, they have “liked” comments calling him a “creeper” and a “predator,” and participated in chats about making unannounced visits to his classroom to see what he is teaching.

Robinson offers courses in Black history and has been accused of providing Marxist lessons by a Moms for Liberty local leader. The district took no action against him.
