undercover with socialists
In September 2023, Karlyn went undercover for three days at the Socialism 2023 conference and recorded their sessions. She broke several nationally covered stories, including the then-President of the American Library Association saying libraries should be sites of socialist organizing.
Prior to that, in April 2023, Karlyn went undercover at the Collective Power Conference at Hampshire College, a socialist reproductive justice conference.
the coke be less white story
In February 2021, Karlyn broke the Coke “Be Less White” story. It got over 30,000,000 views on Twitter (now X) alone, was covered nationally, inspired a million memes, and even forced Coke to change their outgoing voicemail at their corporate headquarters.
grooming in the burlington vermont schools
In April 2022, Karlyn exposed the Burlington Vermont School District for grooming children live on the internet after watching the webinars they posted on their YouTube page in one of my Happy Hour deep dives.
Her thread on Twitter (now X) got over 1 million views, and my work was featured on the Ben Shapiro show (without credit) and the Laura Ingraham show (also without credit).
She was called an “Unwoke Cult Leader” in a local progressive newspaper and was slandered by the Vermont Human Rights Commission for continuing to expose their work.
Karlyn has continued to cover the Burlington Vermont school district since then.
segregated training in seattle
In June 2020, Karlyn’s first ever exclusive was exposing segregated employee training by the City of Seattle. This is the story that launched Christopher Rufo into the battle against Critical Race Theory. He was the only journalist to follow up on my work.
Later, when the Washington Post was writing a hit piece of Rufo, Karlyn exposed them and was called a hero in Brietbart.
Autistic Sex Education
In January 2023, Karlyn infiltrated and exposed Autistic Sex Education for SPY STREAM.
Michigan dept of education
In February 2023, Karlyn exposed the Michigan Department of Education for a series of trainings teaching educators across the state how to groom children and hide information from parents.
CAMBRIDGE, MA SCHOOLS
In August 2022, Karlyn exposed socialist teacher training Dena Simmons, who was paid $32,000 in the Cambrdige, MA public schools to train teachers to abolish whiteness and capitalism, which we learned via a FOIA request. Karlyn continued to track the Cambridge schools.
THE FIRST LAWSUIT AGAINST CRITICAL RACE THEORY
In September 2020, Karlyn broke the story that became the first federal lawsuit against Critical Race Theory in schools, the story of Gabrielle Clark’s son William and the Sociology of Change class that tried to make him admit he was an oppressor.
