LoTT reposted a video of a physical assault that allegedly took place in the women's bathroom at Greece Arcadia High School in upstate New York, and claimed that the perpetrator was “a male student who identifies as a girl.” The video, which was originally shared by Reduxx and was reportedly filmed in February, was boosted by other media figures who have also advocated for trans exclusion from women's spaces and garnered viral attention. The following morning, the school reported a bomb threat. A screenshot of the emailed bomb threat seemingly referenced the viral video and repeated the claim that one of the students in the video was transgender. 

Greece Central School District Superintendent Kathleen Graupman, who characterized the bomb threat as “a hate crime,” said the district had taken “swift action” and dealt with the fight portrayed in the video “very specifically and sensitively” months earlier.

Citing a Daily Mail article published a day earlier, LoTT claimed that students at Watertown Middle School in Massachusetts were “reportedly being forced back into the classroom with a trans student who wrote a 45-person ’hit list.’” 

According to local reporting, the “hit list” was discovered in January, at which point the school notified local police who in turn determined there was no threat. Watertown News reported that the school held a meeting shortly after the list was discovered to address parents’ concerns before releasing additional information detailing how it responded to the incident, “including how the threat was assessed and the re-entry plan for the student who made the list.”

On April 30, less than a week after the Daily Mail article and LoTT post, four Watertown schools reported bomb threats. In a joint statement sent to Watertown News, the Watertown Public Schools and the Watertown Police Department said: “We believe that these bomb threats were the direct result of misinformation spread by a British tabloid and subsequently on social media by individuals outside of our community.” [Twitter/X, 4/26/24, 4/26/24; Daily Mail, 4/25/24; Watertown News, 5/1/24]

LoTT posted a screenshot of an email that had been sent to parents of Schavey Road Elementary School in DeWitt, Michigan, informing them of an optional lesson during which students would “share and explore pronouns through discussion and literature.” Two days later, LoTT posted a clip of an interview with a parent opposed to the lesson, but failed to highlight that the email said parents could opt their children out of the lesson. Amid viral backlash, the school “increased police and administrative presence” and staff members reported “inappropriate and threatening calls” and being doxxed. The lesson was eventually canceled, according to Superintendent Shanna Spickard of DeWitt Public Schools, because several staff members were “afraid to go to school.” LoTT responded to the initial post, noting that the event had been canceled. [Twitter/X, 4/15/24; Twitter/X, 4/17/24; Twitter/X, 4/19/24; USA Today, 4/19/24]

On X, LoTT wrote that Sutton Memorial High School in Massachusetts had “held a s*xualized adult themed d*ag show and a workshop on how to be a d*ag queen for students,” tagging the school’s principal in the post. According to MassLive, the school principal later wrote an email to students in which he reported that the school had “received calls and posts online from individuals who protested the drag artist’s appearance and that the school also received a vague threat from an unknown person.” LoTT continued to post about the district and later celebrated that “the school board member of Sutton Schools who said d*ag in schools is OK just LOST his re-election campaign.” [Twitter/X, 4/2/24, 4/3/24, 5/7/24, 5/15/24, 5/29/24; MassLive, 4/9/24]

LoTT posted a video of an elementary school student being physically assaulted on a school bus, tagging Niles Community Schools in Niles, Michigan, in the post. The next day, LoTT cited a previous post about the school district and implied that the assault was connected to the student attending an elementary school whose principal was a “radical leftist activist who injected gender-ideology and CRT into her school.” Three schools in the district, including the elementary school mentioned in the post, reported bomb threats. Additionally, a school in Niles, Illinois, also received a threat. [Twitter/X, 3/13/24, 3/14/24; Patch, 3/15/24; WBND-LD, 3/18/24]

On the morning of March 8, the district, the town hall, “and the homes of at least two school district employees” reported bomb threats. Amid the threats, LoTT retweeted another video targeting the Board of Education. An email signed by “town and school officials” attributed the threats to “rhetoric that has circulated both locally and nationally in recent weeks.” [Twitter/X, 3/3/24, 3/8/24; The News-Times; 3/10/24; Connecticut Insider; 3/8/24]

LoTT posted a video of Lewisville, Texas, teacher Rachmad Tjachyadi wearing a pink dress for Hebron High School’s Spirit Day. The post garnered significant backlash, including a statement from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott who said, “No parent should be forced by the state to send their child to this school.” Despite the fact that “Tjachyadi hadn’t violated any policies with his choice of clothing,” he was placed on administrative leave and eventually resigned, citing “the hateful comments on social media.” LoTT took credit for and celebrated the resignation. [The Daily Beast, 3/7/24; The Advocate, 3/9/24]

LoTT posted a screenshot from a Des Moines elementary school teacher's social media account. Harassment and threats reportedly followed the post and led the school district to increase its security.

On August 30, 2023, LoTT targeted Shane Murnan, insinuating that there was a link between his performance as a drag queen and a previous accusation of possession of child sexual abuse material. The case against Munran was thrown out in 2002 due to lack of evidence and the record of charges was later expunged. The district maintained that Murnan had been hired “in accordance with its usual screening practices,” but Oklahoma State schools Superintendent Ryan Walters, who has since appointed Raichik to the state Department of Education’s Library Media Advisory Committee, called for Murnan's resignation and threatened the district's accreditation status. LoTT continued to target the district in a series of posts and the district received a bomb threat. After several months in which Murnan was “often forced to work off-site due to threats received by the district,” he went on paid administrative leave and then resigned.

In February 2024, Nex Benedict, a trans student who had “greatly admired” Wrynn, was beaten in a school bathroom by a group of older students and died the following day. Local LGBTQ advocacy groups called Benedict's death a “hate crime” and blamed LoTT and state lawmakers for promoting an atmosphere of bigotry and intolerance toward trans students.

LoTT posted about a drag queen who was scheduled to perform a drag story hour at the Lancaster Public Library in Pennsylvania. The post asked whether “this is the kind of person you want to be interacting with your toddlers” and included screenshots promoting a different, 18+ story hour which featured the phrase “nothing about this show is appropriate for your semen demon offspring.” On the day of the event, a “suspicious package” was found in the library and threats were reported, prompting police to evacuate the surrounding blocks. Although the area was later cleared, the event was canceled and police continued to investigate “additional reported threats.” LoTT quoted the initial post and reported that the event had been canceled. The Lancaster County District Attorney's Office investigation later concluded that the threats had originated from an “unknown actor” in Nigeria.
