Indiana Launches Anti-LGBTQ "Snitch Line," Users Flood With Memes In Protest
Indiana's Attorney General Todd Rokita launched a tool for parents to report "gender ideology" in schools. Users immediately began sending memes in protest,
Apparently folks are flooding this form:
https://in.accessgov.com/attorneygeneral/Forms/Page/attorneygeneral/education-transparency-form/1
With the script to the Bee Movie:

and various memes.
I find this an encouraging way to show solidarity the many folks who likely feel attacked by to e existence of that form.
This would be very easy to filter out. Activists should pull random paragraphs from random movies instead, while randomly inserting key words the creators would expect to see.
edit If it was created with government funds, an FOIA request could identify the contracting agency that added it. If it's a company that made it for this specific purpose (vs general purpose), name and shame.
I appreciate that we're fighting fascist rhetoric with comedy but it's really not funny anymore
It's not just for the comedy. Flooding the form with useless data wastes time and hopefully prevents them from finding any actionable reports from other fascists.
The trick is to not just meme. Make it sound real, but use 100% false data
Or a data of those who started this snitchline, in Minecraft.
Yeah, that form isn't gonna last long and a CAPTCHA or "I'm not a robot" check box isn't gonna stop people.
Submitted the bee movie script with a picture of a rock.
Post the personal info of every Republican you can to this system.
🤔 We actually should have a call-your-congressmen list on here; that's a good idea.
Better response: audit the textbooks for right-wing political rhetoric and revisionism in the materials they buy and mass report it as political material in education.
I look back at what my 2000s era textbooks taught about America and just cringe. If things like black history are now “political rhetoric”, those books have got to be 50% fiction.
But if the memes can knock out the line or render it useless, go for it.
