Trans terrorist murder of Christian school children will no longer be memory-holed

By Peter Wolfgang ( bio - articles - email ) | Aug 30, 2025

What a difference a “vibe shift” makes. That was one of the thoughts that ran through my head when I heard about the transgender-identifying terrorist who murdered Catholic school children as they were were worshiping at a Mass opening their school year in Minneapolis.

Of course, that was not the only thing that ran through my mind. Many thoughts did. The same thoughts that, I’m sure, so many others had.

The sheer horror of it. The overwhelming sadness for all those affected by it. The fear for the safety of our own little ones. (Five of my seven kids attend Catholic schools. A sixth teaches at one.) The danger of transgenderism, both the ideology and the scientific quackery, which is making all of us less safe. The obtuseness of politicians who want us to ignore every possible reason for school shootings except for guns, always guns, and only guns, the only thing we are ever allowed to talk about. The outrageousness of public officials who criticize prayer. The anti-Catholic discrimination by state governments who refuse to fund security for private schools at the same level they do for public schools. And on and on.

Others, I’m sure, will be writing about these things in the weeks and months ahead. I may have more to say about them too. But right now, I want to focus on the importance of the vibe shift. Because I am concerned that, in the crush of all these other related matters, it will be missed. And it should not be. It is the key to solving the problem.

What I mean is this. Two years ago another transgender terrorist, Audrey Hale, deliberately targeted and murdered children at another Christian school, Covenant Presbyterian in Nashville. But the media and the politicians would not describe the matter as clearly as I just did in my previous sentence. Instead, they obfuscated and gaslit the public. Minneapolis will be different because the mood of the public is different. Before we get to what that means, consider what we have been through.

At the time Nashville occurred, Christian activists called a spade a spade:

But this was the media reaction:

The attempt to memory-hole and gaslight the public over the 2023 murders of the Covenant School students and faculty by Audrey Hale began immediately. The lede the day of those headlines was that the police did not know the motive, even though they had the manifesto and had said the shooter, being transgender, “may have” resented attending a Christian school. Even though we were being targeted, the media and politicians approached the matter as if she were the victim and the Christians were the perps. It was vile stuff.

As World Magazine reported in its April 2023 issue:

Although many questions about the attack remain unanswered, Covenant’s tragedy made headlines for less than a week. By Saturday, major news outlets posted stories about a transgender woman’s troubles at WrestleCon, but no new details of the shooting. The silence could be a result of the church’s decision to hire a public relations firm to negotiate media interactions, which have been few. But Nashville police, who quickly offered press briefings and security footage in the aftermath, are now quiet, too.

News coverage of the Covenant attack looked starkly different from other school shootings—ranging from White House declarations that seemed tone-deaf to activists rationalizing the Nashville shooter’s murder spree. President Joe Biden joked with reporters that if Republican Josh Hawley felt Hale had specifically targeted Christians—well then he, Biden, didn’t. And three days after the transgender shooter killed six people—four of them female—Biden warned of an “epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls.”

A month after the Nashville massacre, groups like the Catholic League began to call out officials for not releasing the shooter’s manifesto. If, two months after the Nashville murders, a mass shooter at a Texas outlet mall was motivated by White Supremacy, the press was sure to tell us. But a transgender terrorist targeting school children because she hated Christianity (and, we subsequently learned, white people)? Nothing to see here. Move along.

But again, it was not just about hiding the ball. It was about reversing reality. According to a May 31, 2023 editorial in the Waterbury Republican-American:

On May 11, for example, the Department of Homeland Security released a document claiming that “domestic violence extremists and people who commit hate crimes have increased threats of violence against the LGBTQIA+ community within the last year,” according to ABC News. What were, as ABC put it, “the issues inspiring threats and calls of violence against the LGBTQIA+ community could lead to a rise of potential attacks against larger targets …”? Analysts with the DHS “cite social media chatter celebrating the recent mass shooting at a Nashville church school.”

In other words, the people celebrating a 28-year-old gender ideologue’s anti-Christian massacre are the ones who need protection, according to the DHS.

Not until November of 2023 were parts of Audrey Hale’s writings revealed to the public for the first time, and even then only because they were leaked. It took that long to for people to see first-hand the evil ideologies that motivated her.

But the Nashville Christian school massacre happened before the vibe shift. The Minneapolis Christian school massacre this week happened after. This image is from “the internet sewer known as Reddit,” according to an FB friend. I can’t vouch for its validity. But, having fought this agenda for 15 years, I find it utterly believable.

“It is not going to end with Audrey Hale,” I wrote on my Facebook two years ago. “It is only beginning with Audrey Hale.” They are targeting Christians, just as I warned after Nashville.

But it is not two years ago. The same people are not in charge anymore, not like they were then. When Catholic school children were murdered in Minneapolis, there was no hiding the evidence this time. No scrubbing the manifesto from the internet. No gaslighting the victims and telling them they’re the real villains.

I mean, yes, these things are occurring. But not like last time. There are attempts being made but they are not as successful as before. Because our highest elected officials are not the ones gaslighting and covering up anymore. And that makes a world of difference.

Joe Biden, the persecutor of his fellow Catholics, would have been much less likely to follow up on something like the image above. We already know that Kash Patel’s FBI is not so sanguine. They are investigating the Minneapolis massacre as a hate crime against Catholics.

We are being targeted by a cult that is violent. And vicious. And in more than a few cases, demonically possessed. They are enabled by politicians who don’t like us much more than the cultists do. And who desperately want to change the subject.

But this time, they can’t. Because this one occurred after the vibe shift. This time, this evil will be fought.
