(Fox News) Parents in Loudoun County, Virginia, say they have become targets of violent threats on social media for speaking out against the school district’s LGBTQ agenda.
“They said that they wanted to curb stomp me,” Loudoun County mom and Army of Parents co-founder Alisha Brand told “Fox & Friends” Friday of threats made on the “Loudoun Love Warriors” Facebook page.
Brand said her organization, which she described as a 501(c)(4) that advocates for excellence in education, school safety and parental rights, has made activists online “very angry,” leading to “threats of death.”
“I’m not sure if your audience is aware of the violent nature of curb stomping, but what it does entail is grabbing somebody by the back of the head, forcing their mouth open, pushing them down to the ground with their face on the cement, their mouth around the curb, and then somebody else stomping on the back of their head,” she continued.
“This is murder, it’s a felony, and this is what I was threatened with by these activists who are tied to our political candidates.”

The “Loudoun Love Warriors” group includes members who appear to be associated with Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj, County Supervisor Juli Briskman, School Board Chair 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 Chair Phyllis Randall. None of these elected officials personally made any threats.
Loudoun County resident Mark Winn told WJLA he learned of messages on the group threatening his life and livelihood after he addressed the school board in Dec. 2022.
“[LGBT] behaviors should never have been promoted, taught, or encouraged in the schools that you oversee,” he said at the meeting. “Get back to reading, writing and arithmetic and quit grooming and pimping.”
Scott Mineo, another Loudoun County parent, told WJLA that activists “went after” his job.
“They referred me to the FBI, IRS, and DHS all because they don’t like my opinion,” he said.
