On March 27, 2023, a mass shooting occurred at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, which resulted in multiple fatalities. The attack was carried out by a transgender leftist who had written a “manifesto” which has currently been withheld due to public records requests made by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department as well as the activism of Southern Baptist Convention ERLC head, Brent Leatherwood.
Brent Leatherwood, head of the Southern Baptist Convention’s public policy arm, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), is calling on TN lawmakers to back a proposal by Governor Bill Lee for an extreme risk protective order law, also known as red flag laws. The proposal would allow the state to temporarily restrict gun purchases if the state deems one to be a danger to themselves or others, yet the criteria that would be used to make the determination remains unclear.
Brent Leatherwood, who is also a parent of three children at Covenant School where the shooting by a deranged transgender assailant took place, shared his experience of receiving a call that a shooter was at the school. In a series of tweets on April 3, he recounted how the trauma and memories of the tragedy would be with his family for the rest of their lives.
“We’ve become numb to these tragedies as a society,” Leatherwood wrote on Twitter. “Defenseless, innocent lives being taken. We should never accept this as a reality. We need to commit ourselves to finding an answer to this epidemic and not rest until it is solved. Count me as a solution seeker on this.”
Unsurprisingly, Leatherwood has exploited this tragedy and used his platform as a Southern Baptist leader in order to advance stricter anti-Second Amendment gun control laws. In a letter addressed to Lt. Gov. Randy McNally, House Speaker Cameron Sexton, and all members of the legislature, Leatherwood presented an appeal from both his personal experience and on behalf of the majority Southern Baptist sentiment, according to The Tennessean. He urged lawmakers to ensure that no school in Tennessee ever has to endure the same nightmare as the Covenant School tragedy again.
Leatherwood told the lawmakers that Southern Baptists make up one-fifth of the population of Tennessee and have repeatedly called for ways to reduce gun violence, a seemingly veiled threat by the former leader of the TN Republican Party that he may use his power of leadership over Southern Baptists to sway the vote. “Other voices are saying there is too little time left in this legislative session to consider such a proposal. Little credence should be given to that,” he said in the letter, according to the Tennessean.
In a another report at the Epoch Times, it has been further revealed that Leatherwood has not only been advocating for stricter gun laws, but he’s also been working overtime to censor the manifesto written by the deranged transgender activist who killed innocent people on that day. While one would think that a conservative, Bible-believing Christian leader in his right mind could only think of a deranged, transvestite killer as an “unhinged activist,” instead, Leatherwood refers to those who are calling for transparency as such.
Brent and Meredith Leatherwood, parents of three children who were present that day, echo Kinney in saying their current anguish comes from “unhinged activists, unthinking partisans, conspiracy theorists, and various media outlets that value clicks over their community.”
The Leatherwoods said their family had also received “hints” of threats of legal action in order to intimidate them from trying to stop the release of the records. Leatherwood, through his position with the Southern Baptist Convention, has called on stricter gun laws following the shooting.
However, the manifesto which was leaked today by Steven Crowder tells a different story—one that would actually implicate much of the Southern Baptist Convention’s ERLC in advancing an ideology that would exacerbate such a depraved mindset to act out in violence against those who have been painted as “enemies” by the left.
The ERLC, primarily under the leadership of its former head, Russell Moore, and continued by Leatherwood, has repeatedly advanced the narrative of white privilege and systemic injustice. But in the leaked manifesto, we see that the reason this trans person carried out this attack is, unsurprisingly, identical to the reasons the ERLC has repeatedly laid out in favor of their social justice efforts—namely, white privilege.
Is this the real reason why Leatherwood didn’t want the manifesto released? Here are the leaked manifesto writings:

Now WHY would the Southern Baptist Convention want to bury this???
There is more to this they are not telling us
Here are the images of the manifesto that was released by Steven Crowder:
Probably overwhelmed by traffic. Or maybe, just maybe, DDoS'ed to keep people from seeing the pics.
“The proposal would allow the state to temporarily restrict gun purchases if the state deems one to be a danger to themselves or others,”
That’s so stupid, it hurts.
The idiots really think that a law like that would stop a deranged, committed killer from getting a gun.
They think criminals obey these silly laws?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again...
Anyone that wants to either chop off their penis or sew up their vagina is mentally unstable and needs to be institutionalized, for not only their own safety, but for the safety of society.
There is more to this they are not telling us
Of course, some straight people are nutjobs too.
There are three images on this link
We only see three pages? I believe there was more to confirm she was even more nuttier but had a reason to be.
“Wanna kill all you little crackers.”
Isn’t that hate speech?
I don’t want the state deciding I can’t exercise my rights.
The State is by and large untrustworthy.
A jury of my peers can decide to incarcerate or involuntarily commit me with due process - and I can’t carry when incarcerated or committed. That’s as far as I am going.
Anyway, we have long suspected the killer was motivated by anti-Christian hate. I didn't see that specifically in the pages released, but definitely hate toward perceived entitlement, and hate for “crackers”.
The children she murdered had no idea they were ‘little crackers’...
3 pages have been leaked.
There were TWENTY journels of her writings that were said to have been siezed.
Some people may be manipulating what is leaked.
She hated white people, but killed a black man first bat out of the hat.
But did you notice that she repeatedly called her intended victims, “little faggots”?The Southern Baptists didn’t object to that.
Just imagine!
A Southern Baptist Conference leader practicing deceit and dishonesty?
He wants the government to be in control of who can own a gun?
How many rounds of the clot shot did he tell SBC congregants to receive?
Even a person with IQ of 95 would realize that Leatherwood’s position on this is suspicious. And now we begin to see this guy is a type of Baptist Pope.
