CONSPIRACY: Florida mom who censored famous poem admits anti-Semetic posts

The Florida mom whose solo protest got a poem written for President Joe Biden’s inauguration banned just admitted a long history of sharing anti-Semitic propaganda.

Daily Salinas, who is Cuban by birth and speaks English as a second language, petitioned her children’s school to ban students’ access to Amanda Gorman’s poem “The Hill We Climb” in its entirety because it “mentions communism.”

Salinas said her aversion to one word in one poem stems from her Cuban identity.

“I see the word ‘communism,’ and I think it’s something about communism,” Salinas said.

“I didn’t read the words.”

Yet, the one complaint from one mom got the poem restricted BECAUSE FLORIDUH.

I’m pretty sure racism translates across all languages equally because Salinas also petitioned her kids’ school to restrict books about Black poet Langston Hughes as well as Black and Cuban history.

The Miami-Dade School Board opted to restrict all but one book about Cuba from grades K-5 while leaving them available to middle school students.

Because of one narrow-minded Florida Mom.

Since when does one person decide what the majority gets to do, or read?

Salinas said she had just been expressing her “opinion” that they did not “support the curriculum” but declined to elaborate.

She said she had only read parts of the books. “They have to read for me because I’m not an expert,” she said of her kids.

“I’m not a reader. I’m not a book person. I’m a mom involved in my children’s education.”

How much more Floriduh can you get? WAY MORE, as it turns out.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) reports that Salinas is aligned with Moms For Liberty and the Proud Boys, which explains SO MUCH.

Long before her snowflake self was worried about a word in a poem, Salinas was shamelessly sharing anti-Semitic posts, tropes, and memes on her social media accounts.

Shocking, said no Jew ever (including your contributing writer here).

Salinas has now deleted a Facebook post where she shared the century-old anti-Semitic Russian-written forgery called “The Protocols of Zion.”

Her post included a list of steps depicting how “Jewish Zionists” would achieve world domination.

She also shared a graphic showing stages such as “Place our agents and helpers everywhere,” “Replace royal rule with socialist rule, then communism, then despotism,” and “Sacrifice people (including Jews sometimes) when necessary.”

Yeah, I don’t think this is a language barrier issue.

But in her apology, where she once again leans into the “I posted but didn’t read the whole thing” excuse, Salinas claims to “love” the Jewish community.

Twitter always knows how to handle these Holocaust-denying haters.

Meanwhile, we can all still enjoy Amanda Gorman performing “The Hill We Climb” on the Daily, Salinas.
