citizens, that we're peaceful citizens, but it's not going to be peaceful much longer. >> zapata, a militia member, warned that a revolt was coming. >> and it started here because of, would you say, that viral speech you gave at the board meeting? >> yeah, i mean, i've been told that was, sparked the fire, you know? >> i've been in combat, and i never want to go back again, but i'm telling you what, i will save the country. if it has to be against our own citizens, it will happen. and there's 1 million people like me, and you won't stop us. >> when i say these things about violence and, you know, civil uprising, it's not a threat, you know? this is a warning. >> what do you mean by, it could've been violent? >> hey, i have guns, you know? and i was like, the voice of reason, though. glad you have guns. stock up your ammo. but we're not there yet. so anybody that causes violent, or insurrectionist, or, you know, outlaws, we're not. >> but he did use threatening

language. >> we also have people on the streets. we know where you live. we know who your family is. we know your dog's name. you don't vote your way out of socialism once it takes root. the only way to eradicate it is to fight with arms, to have a violent, violent confrontation. >> anger is okay, but this type, type of public anger -- >> i like to live my life as an every person, but righteous anger has a place, and human society. >> and most powerfully to zapata, a place at the polls. he and other republican voters started a recall campaign in 2021 to remove three republican county supervisors for keeping covid-19 restrictions in place. >> including mary record >> and these are what you call pair. a calendar calf is referred to as a pair. >> who showed me her ranch.

>> come on, girls. let's go. i love this county. we're just doing the very best we can given the circumstances with the pandemic and everything. >> you're a lifelong republican, right? >> i've been a republican for most of my adult life, yes. yes. and i've had several threats that were fairly severe. i had one, the subject line was "going, going, gone, dead woman walking closely. >> you had nightmares. >> i have nightmares. >> that fear was shared by another recall target, leonard modi. >> you're a lifelong republican. >> oh, yeah. proud. well, used to be proud. i'm not so sure anymore, but yeah. lifelong republican. i spent 31 years with the police department, and six years as the chief. >> were you more concerned as a board member for your safety versus being the chief of police? >> as a board member? oh, absolutely. >> you will have a number of interesting choices to make on election day. >> fearing repeated death threats online. >> i'm pretty sure he's not

expecting a lynch mob, but i bet he's going to get one. >> and that's directly to you? >> yes. time to dust off the old guillotine. he needs a dirt nap. >> what, what? >> a dirt nap. bury you in the ground. dead. that's a dirt nap. >> some came in public at supervisors meetings. >> get out while you can. >> we never went out and sighted people. we didn't shut down businesses. we didn't do -- we just ask people to do the best you can. >> just a few housekeeping roles -- >> mary record and whether board server survived the recall attempt, but leonard maty lost. >> mr. maty gone, i'd be pleased. all eyes are on us now, and we can't afford to be uncivil. >> gracious in victory, but

months later, zapata says the end justifies the means, especially the hostile language. >> it was very coarse. it was violent. yeah. i think it was. >> to who? >> to the board. to -- >> did it work? >> the enemy at-large. >> did it work? did we succeed? we did. healthy fear is good. government should fear the people. >> zapata says the threats have gone both ways. he has been a target. >> i get death threats from people. i've had people say they would love to see my house burned down with my kids in it. >> but remains undeterred. >> as i sort of become a leader in this movement, i've realized that people want nothing more than to get on board to get their freedom back. >> zapata and his compatriots have chronicled their fight and their success in this, their documentary series, red, white, and blue print. >> we are free to do what we

want. i don't need permission. i don't need permission to wake up in the morning. >> so red, white, and blue print really came of an idea of making a blueprint for other counties to follow. >> how many other counties have reached out to you? >> a lot. >> we need to stand as we say thank you to the red, white, and blue print! it makes a difference, doesn't it? oh, it makes a difference. >> coming up, zapata's blueprint for recalls spread to other communities. but could it go too far? >> the way to avoid a civil war . what, what do you mean by that?

>> even the ones who give you headaches? >> yeah. even the ones that give me headaches. i started january 4th 2021. i had constructed this reality that i thought it would be like for me when i got up there, and it was very different. >> all right, please raise your right hand and repeat after me. >> that difference was immediately apparent. >> oh, i heard the word recall, i think, in my first meeting. i haven't voted on anything, so they're recalling someone that just got there. >> like, literally just got there. >> was in the height of covid. >> you guys have locked down the schools and everything around us. you're putting people out of work for it >> there was a lot of fear, a lot of tension. >> if you can't handle this job, step down. >> yeah! >> step down! >> yelling. >> you're willfully choosing to ignore the data! >> screaming. >> you your job or get out!

>> we had security protocols in advance of our meetings. we couldn't go into the chambers because we had threats against our life. >> you think this is a rate and your little fake walt is going to do anything for us people? yeah. i'm over your. >> this must've been wild. >> yeah, it was pretty wild. >> i am going to come after each one of you personally. >> it's really hard, because we signed up to take that energy from our constituents, but there's a dividing line when listening in service to others becomes detrimental to the democratic process as a whole. >> will be lucky if you get out of this alive. >> so i'm heidi hall. i've been on the board of supervisors for six years. i've always been in public service. >> tell me about the recalling. >> yes. so all five of us have been told we're going to be recalled. you know, what's funny is it's against all of us, so two democrats, three republicans.

they don't like anything that we're doing. >> did shasta influence the vatican ii? >> there was some commonality. there was some of the same people showing up. >> let's go over some of the accusations made against you and the other supervisors. you're part of a global world order conspiracy, practicing medicine without a license, enabled crimes against humanity , censored public comments. >> right. >> what? >> it's ridiculous. >> it's performative politics. it's finding things to complain about, without participating in a process to make things better for people. >> the reasons for the recall? >> yeah. >> what is it? you've seen the spirit >> yeah, i have. in my position, i don't have any authority to conduct most of what's described here. >> these liberal laws, excuse my language, but are -- of our cities. and i'm sick of it. >> there was just extreme anger

and frustration. they attacked us personally. there was just sort of a lack of humanity. we continue to work well as a board, but everything changed in terms of how the public interacted with us. >> you will face judgment! >> there's an organization, the who, the cdc, y'all that can separate me from my god-given right of the united states to them. >> they wanted their own facts. it's just this rage of wanting, wanting their own way. >> where does that come from? >> you know, i don't want to be harping on trump, but there's this trumpism that when trump came into power, that he made it acceptable to say science isn't true. he made it acceptable to mock people. he made it acceptable to say, it's us, the white men, in power , who are being attacked and harassed. and people who are already challenged or fearful or angry or concerned about their own status in life picked up on

that. >> let's all get up and, and move. >> oh! are you scared? >> we had to leave meetings with sheriff by us. we had different levels of security that we had to employ. we lock our doors. we have an awareness of who's out there. you know, my kids have been approached by people and asked if their dad was the supervisor, and they don't know who these people are. >> yeah, i would like to address the board of supervisors. >> calvin clark, an outspoken longtime resident of nevada county, led the recall effort. >> there's a real disconnect throughout the united states in regard to citizens and the elected board of supervisors and the county staff. there was really no standardization in this pandemic. it was over the top. it was beyond clear protection of the, of the citizen's rights. >> in december of 2021, clark made an appearance on the new american, the john birch society's online magazine,

where he discussed the nevada county recall efforts. >> doing recalls and calling them into the accountable place of their oath of office, if they don't understand it, this is a way to avoid a civil war. they should think about it. >> it's a way to avoid a civil war. what, what do you mean by that? >> you know, we have where too much government gets to be tyranny, and yet we start adopting small strings of tyranny until we start to be bound down and our rights get lost, and then pretty soon, we don't know who's really at the end of a third-party contract to track your children. >> covid is what galvanized not only different deaths in tears with respect to fears and the related aggression, but it got all these tributaries together into one raging stream. >> bryan levin is a director of the center for the study of hate and extremism at california state university san bernardino.

>> they are seeing local governance become the traders. that are depriving of the right that they previously said was being done at the hands of the federal government. >> the recall proponents failed to submit required signatures by the late may deadline, saying in a statement they instead wanted to focus on electing two new supervisors. one of which was calvin clark, who earlier this year announced a run for the district or the supervisor state, challenging board chair susan hook. >> he lost! 17% of the vote was all he got. they are entering politics not necessarily to win, but to make themselves brazenly loudly and aggressively known with the now not so indirect threat of violence. >> my concern is for the country, for this community. it's a very disturbing trend we're seeing it throughout the country. but i don't believe that we're

going to really get past it without addressing the anger that does not come from irrational place. >> these people are angry that they feel fear that there is a multitiered takeover, not only of the government, but what it means to be an american in their local communities. >> what's happening to local elected officials across the country when there is all of this anger being directed at people like you? >> yeah. people are getting out of elected and appointed office, because it's too hard on them and their families. good people are deciding not to run for office. >> you don't run the show no more! people got executed for violating the nuremberg code, and you guys are violating the nuremberg code, too. >> i want to emphasize that that is a minority in this county, but this minority of people, i think, are destructive to the community and to the country. >> you will get the justice

that's coming to you. >> next? >> racy freaking bar! >> school board members fear for their lives. >> you know your home addresses on the internet, don't you? that could be a little scary. we've got to have each other's backs... cerave. now the #1 dermatologist recommended skincare brand. we know you care.

maybe you should take your fat -- to the gym. >> you know your home address is on the internet, don't you? that could be a little scary. >> i seldom go anywhere by myself because of the threats. and i don't think there is any bigger fear than putting your own children and their own family in our minds anyway. >> during the pandemic, school boards in several states were becoming battlegrounds. >> figure it out! or get off the podium! >> over school closings, transgender rights, and diversity education. >> covid, and the fact that people went home and were online more and were angry or more at a time of polarization were able to transform what, in the past, were rather sleepy gatherings into battles to plant that flag.

>> was there a moment when things changed? >> i like to say that there was a smoldering fire from the pandemic and the angry parents, but as it started to have a low -- >> you don't win more races and. >> ignite that fire again. >> what was that gasoline? >> the first thing was crt and that we were taking crt in our schools. >> critical race theory, which is rarely taught outside of law schools, asserts that racism is inherent in u.s. laws and society. which has angered some who say it promotes an antiwhite agenda. >> you're the this is racist and hate filled policies are being spewed in the minds of my children. >> our kids are being rain lost to hate the country, its founding, themselves, and each other by being taught the marxist communist principles of critical race theory. >> did the loudoun county public schools teach crt? >> no. no. i don't know of any school

division in the country that's teaching crt. >> then why are people angry about it? >> because it's become that catchall, right? crt means everything that i don't like about schools. >> dr. scott ziglar is a superintendent of schools for loudoun county. a suburb of d.c., it is one of the wealthiest counties in the country, and has become increasingly diverse. >> if you go back 25 years in the county, the student body was over 80% caucasian. today, our caucasian students are about 45%, 46% of our student body. i became interim superintendent officially on january 6, 2021. >> 2021. so really in the thick of it. >> yes. yeah. >> did you know -- >> like sheridan and other school board members, ziglar became a lightning rod for hate when vitriol escalated over issues like a state law that expanded the rights of transgender students, including the right to use school

bathrooms of the gender they identify with. >> two alleged sexual assault at two different high schools. >> and two sexual assault incidents involving a male student was sentenced by a judge to a residential treatment center. >> don't be calling little girls boys, you sick --. you are so --, you have no idea . you are about to get a real education --. let the pansy scott ziglar protect himself like all the snowflakes out there. i guess scott is too busy protecting . try all these commies for treason. >> did you expect any of this? >> i expected some controversy, of course, every superintendent go through that. i didn't expect hatred. i didn't expect the threats. >> how does that impact you walking to your car, or going to the grocery store? >> it makes a big impact. i am a concealed weapons permit holder, but certainly now, i'm more conscious of when i'm carrying and what i'm not carrying. >> these are clowns. vote them

out. >> you look back at some of the rage in these meetings and some of the threats that are levied against the school board members, whether you agree with them or don't agree with them, do you look some response ability for that? >> no. i, i can only speak mind and i take responsibility for what i say and for what i do. we condemn threats, whether it's to the school board or the community. >> ian pryor is a lawyer and a parent with two kids in the district. he's also a former trump administration official. >> so you really spent a good decade, decade and a half in the republican ecosystem. >> yes. >> as an operative. and then sort of switched to suburban life. >> yeah. >> merging career with parenthood, he wrote this for the federalist, a conservative publication. the school board and the administration are willfully using children as guinea pigs

in their unconstitutional experiments in race-based communism. the article got his name put on what he calls an enemies list, hosted on a private facebook group that some school board members were a part of. >> and it just struck me as, you know, this is cancel culture coming to your neighborhood. and i ended up going on tucker carlson talking about it. they're called the antiracist parents of loudoun county. we call them chardonnay antifa. >> when did you first hear about shasta county? >> i think it was a documentary on it. >> shasta county is where carlos zapata helped lead the successful recall of a republican board member. >> people all over the country are getting fed up. >> showing how he and others did it in a documentary series called red, white, and blue print. >> it just came to my mind that, hey, this happened in shasta, let me look up virginia

recall statute. in virginia, you don't have that. you have a removal. and there was an uproar in the community, and a lot of the uproar was from parents that had been fighting well before i got involved. >> good afternoon. >> pryor started fight for schools, a conservative parent group, to launch a removal campaign to oust six of the nine school board members. >> why not just wait for the election? >> is you're talking about your kids. >> thank you. >> as the anger increased, the board stopped showing speaker spaces on camera after several clips went viral. >> why do we take a look the >> the first viral video was of loudoun county parent brandon bichon. >> it's not a high bar. raise the freaking bar! >> as a citizens -- >> as right wing media pounced, fight for schools gained momentum. >> we start getting signatures, start getting a lot of signatures. i think people on the school board started realizing, this isn't a joke. they're actually going to go

breaches of respect, and i think you for your corroboration. >> june 22nd, 2021. >> it's probably the night i have relived and replayed in my head more than any night of my life. >> 259 people signed up to speak at the loudoun county school board. sheridan was chair and running the meeting. >> being chair in a hostile, volatile room is scary. >> you could feel it. >> no, absolutely. right before i called the meeting to order, the superintendent came over to me and said i just want you to know, we've confiscated eggs from people on the way in, and we don't know if we got them all. >> while the school board stream no longer shot close-ups , fox news cameras did. >> today, instead of focusing on the hate that seems to be dripping off the followers of jesus in their room, in this room, and from their kids in our schools, i wanted to take the time -- oh, wait.

i can wait. >> i've noticed a pattern. you treat your bosses, most of us, like children. you treat the woke mop, your employees and teachers unions, like the boss, and you treat children who've not harmed like pawns in your leftist social experiment. >> you didn't get through the night. >> we did not get through the night. no. >> your teaching children to hate others because of their skin color! and you're forcing them to lie about other kids's gender. i am disgusted by your bigotry and your depravity. it's time to replace -- >> madam chair, i moved to and public comment. >> all in favor, please raise your hand. motion carries 9-0. public comment is now ended. we will move to our next agenda item.

>> when that vote passed 9-0, the school board room erupted again. >> shame on you! shame on you! >> and really was largely out of control. people were standing on chairs. >> one person was arrested, and another was briefly detained. >> this is an unlawful arrest! >> for much of that time i was out front, people were certainly trying to intimidate me through that process. >> you need to be arrested! >> the divisiveness kept loudoun county in the national spotlight, and right-wing media outlets sedley frenzy. according to media matters, fox news aired close to 80 segments on crt in loudoun county in the four months leading up to and just after the june meeting. >> the loudoun county school board is being called the locust and were school board in america. >> no wonder parents are furious. their voices aren't being counted. >> this school board, and in

particular, brenda sheridan, have a real problem with the first amendment. >> i always knew when i was on and somebody said my name or loudoun county, because the emails came out. during the night, from across the country. >> the threats would come. >> yup. >> the ceiling that action must be taken at the local level has been hyper charged, and that culture war is not about changing hearts and minds and voting people out. but highlighting people as traitors, or as enemies. >> you've also faced threats. can you tell me a little bit about what happened? >> i've gotten messages on facebook saying that they hope my kids, you know, get raped. my kids are nine and six. easily, somebody mail a postcard to everyone on my street except for me saying that i was racist. >> as far as funding for fight for schools, who funds you? >> we've gotten some donations from some groups, but it's

mainly individual donors. >> so far, fight for schools has raised more than half $1 million, with the largest donation of $25,000 coming from a loudoun county businesswoman and republican activist. close to $20,000 has come from far right organizations 1776 action and american majority. as money poured in, fight for schools was able to ramp up its removal efforts on six of the nine school board members. >> one of them, sadly, my colleague, passed away. one of my colleagues resigned. they had enough signatures, they went to court, she resigned rather than go through with a trial. so they won. and then they focus on myself and -- >> pryor and his team got the necessary signatures. but in virginia, the citizens don't vote. a judge or jury

decides removal in court. >> i'm really just hoping for a fair and quick process this morning. >> the judge ended up dismissing the case. >> i'm completely relieved, not just for myself, but for the people who put me in the spirit >> i will never be able to put into words the toll this process to my family and on the families that i serve. if an angry group can abuse the courts for their own political agenda, it will and democracy as we know it. >> so we're obviously disappointed. there is currently a grand jury investigating many of the things that we alleged in our removal petitions. >> in september, the virginia supreme court affirmed that the grand jury investigation into the school district's handling of two sexual assaults can move forward, despite a legal challenge from the school board. the investigation was launched after some parents were angry over what they say was an alleged cover-up by the school

district, a claim the school district denies. and pryor has reached out to the state to remove superintendent ziegler, who has been in education for 30 years. >> the 149 page package that was delivered by fight for schools, in that document, the, the complaint is that you do not possess the capability, experience, or leadership skills to have the job. that you repeatedly and blatantly misled the public with a complete disregard for transparency and accountability. how do you respond to hundred 49 pages? of that? >> so i haven't responded. it's just kind of floating out there, but it's not accurate. absolutely unqualified to have this position. i have more experience, more classroom experience than many superintendents have. >> in april, virginia governor glenn young can also tried to

force all nine members of the school board to say selections this year, but his efforts were unsuccessful. all this doesn't matter anymore to brenda sheridan. >> are you going to run again? >> no. >> why? >> i've become sleep deprived, probably a little short tempered. fearful. and that's not how i want my life to be, and i certainly don't want my family's life to be like that. so not only will i not run, i will move out of loudoun county. i will leave. our home. it'll be 25 years, and i will leave. >> how heartbreaking is that for you to say that? >> it's very heart breaking. >> when they put the figure at you and say you're revealing, you causeless what you say to them? >> maybe a villain for them, but to others, i think they have a very different idea. i'm the person that basically allowed people to understand that they have a voice, and that their voice matters. >> i just want to ask you, that flag. >> so that flag was left on the

ground after the june 22nd school board meeting we had to remember the good and the bad, and so that night, hopefully was not characteristic of loudoun county or the country, and so i thought it was important to keep at least one artifact from that night. >> coming up. >> we're hearing 30% to 50% of election workers have either left or are thinking about leaving, and is not just in the swing states. ♪
