Mom Who Got Amanda Gorman’s Poetry Restricted Has Ties To Proud Boys, Antisemitism

Salinas has also made a series of antisemitic posts on Facebook, spreading old conspiracy theories.
NEW: Months before a Miami-area mother Daily Salinas persuaded a local school to restrict access to an Amanda Gorman poem, she was posting antisemitic memes on her Facebook page. @JTAnews https://t.co/IaOTfVA0Ea

Salinas later apologized to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency for the posts, saying “I’m not what the post says.” She further told the publication that “I love the Jewish community.” Despite apologizing for this specific bigotry, Salinas remains committed to banning Gorman’s book and other Black-themed publications.
With individuals like Salinas succeeding in censoring material in Florida and other states, as well as groups like Moms for Liberty growing in influence around the country, it’s likely that many more book bans and other restrictive policies will pop up.
