The far left is coming after the family nucleus.
Journalist David Leavitt called Child Protective Services on Virginia Senate hopeful Tina Ramirez after she tweeted out ‘Happy Columbus Day.’
It all started when Ramirez tweeted out ‘Happy Columbus Day’ to which Leavitt tweeted back ‘Why are you celebrating torture, rape, murder, and enslavement.’
Ramirez shot back that she wanted to teach her children about real American history and not the woke version of it.
It was after Ramirez made this comment that Leavitt called for his followers to call Child Protection Services on Ramirez.
Tonight, @David_Leavitt called Child Protective Services to report “child abuse” because I teach my daughter about Christopher Columbus and real American history. As a single mother, I am my daughter’s only support. This is appalling for a number of reasons.

The Daily Wire had more on the story:
Self-described “Award-winning multi-media journalist” David Leavitt called Child Protective Services on Virginia State Senate candidate Tina Ramirez, reporting her for “child abuse” because her opinion of Columbus Day differed from his.
The spat began with an apparent non-sequitur, when Leavitt replied to a tweet from Ramirez over reports that PayPal planned to fine people for spreading “misinformation” — a story broken by Daily Wire reporter Ben Zeisloft.
“Only women can be pregnant. Do I owe PayPal $2500 now?” Ramirez asked, to which Leavitt replied, “Why are you celebrating torture, rape, murder, and enslavement?”
Leavitt appeared to be referencing another tweet in which Ramirez wished her followers a happy Columbus Day, and Ramirez responded with a simple explanation: “I teach my daughter real American history. I refuse to join the radical left’s campaign to erase history.”
Leavitt responded by attempting to get some of his 330,000+ followers to harass Ramirez by reporting her to Child Protective Services.
“Can someone please call child care services on Tina Ramirez who’s teaching her child to be a racist?” he asked.
This was truly … something.

According to what appears to be the left’s new standard of what constitutes child abuse, however, it’s a wonder I made it through alive.
David Leavitt, the self-described “Award-Winning Multimedia Journalist” whose pinned tweet consists of four Ukrainian soldiers with cats, contacted what he called the “Virginia State hotline for child abuse,” but what was actually the Virginia Department of Social Services Child Protective Services Hotline, because of a Virginia state Senate candidate’s “Happy Columbus Day” tweet.
Note to David Leavitt: Virginia State is a historically black university in Petersburg; I’m pretty sure they don’t have a “hotline for child abuse.” If you want to call yourself a journalist, details like that matter.
If his name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you remember him as the guy who called the police earlier this year when a Target manager refused to sell him a toothbrush for a penny. (I can’t imagine what else anyone would remember him for.)
Apparently, the guy just refuses to understand what public services are actually for.
Here’s what the left deems as child abuse:
