Moms for Liberty Brevard spent this week telling people Gene Trent is a veteran.

He isn't. His own candidate paperwork has "I am not a veteran" marked on it. His official Brevard Public Schools board bio runs through 20+ years in education and says one of his sons serves in the Navy. It says nothing about Trent serving.

I asked them about it. I got blocked.
They've since walked the claim back. The excuse is that they confused their veteran endorsements. A group that markets itself as the people vetting who runs your kids' schools mixed up which candidate served in the military, and only fixed it after getting called out in public.

Then look at the reply itself. It still has the markdown asterisks sitting in the text, U.S. Army veteran and show the evidence. Facebook doesn't render those. That comment was pasted straight out of an Al chatbot and posted without anyone reading it back. They couldn't be bothered to write one sentence about a man's military record themselves.

Worth remembering who they're defending. Trent is the school board member caught whispering "I fu***ng hate transparency" into a hot mic while a parent was asking about school closures.

When Brevard school employees were arrested over a party with students involving alcohol, drugs and a gun, his answer was that when you have thousands of employees, things happen. In April 2025 he spoke at Truth Fest, "the Trump of God," here in Brevard County.

Yes, this is where I live, and that is a sitting school board member.

Our constitution is what patriots fought and died for, not our president.
