      I have met people who voted for trump because they didn’t like Hillary, or didn’t like biden and “didn’t realize what he’d do” and far, far too many people he targets like immigrants who support him, for a Myriad of reasons, but many, saying he wont target us because we supported him or “He’s not going to target us, just ‘insert country here’”. The leopards earing faces voters are very real and have put so much on themselves and everyone around them.

        That excuse runs hollow this time around. He said exactly what he was going to do and is doing it. None of his is a surprise except to especially ignorant.

    Blatantly unconstitutional, and he knows it. But the point isn’t to win on this issue, it’s to move the Overton window a little more and to sow more chaos.

      This could actually be a good starting point for a nationwide action. Very few collective actions are as effective as a nationwide teacher strike. The call to action is also relatively straightforward. Something like “D.C. shouldn’t regulate what we teach in our classrooms “.

    The book burning and internet crackdown will surely start soon. Kiss the first amendment goodbye.

    Being an educator in this day and age seems so difficult, we are taught all the studies and theories of healthy child development, how to promote healthy social emotional learning, but we must fight parents and increasely the law to maintain a safe, healthy social environmental layer.

    Good educators are already beaten down from so many things and have become rare, but I know most of my colleagues and friends have no intention of bending knee to this and policies aimed at hurting students we fight for, and I desperately hope this sentiment is shared by many across our country.

      That’s the point, that’s what they want and they want good teachers to be sick of it and leave so they can either put some uncertified person in your place or none at all and keep education for private schools. Trumpy said it himself, he loved the uneducated. It’s sadly all part of their plan to keep critical thinkers at bay so they can do whatever they want and nobody bats an eye.

        Keep people uneducated, and feed them misinformation. yes, it is very unfortunate that is the federal policy for k-12 education.

    This really is reminiscent of early Nazi Germany, with an obsession over trans people (like Jews), and the idea that they’re the root of so much evil, and the constant implication that things would be better if they just go away…

        I have fantasized about what the country would be like if we let them have their own land and government. So you’d be left with a “liberal” America and a “conservative” one as two countries. My prediction is the conservative one would be mostly dead of disease within a year or two and the liberal one would actually be able to legislate a bit, making incremental improvements like a functioning country

    What

    The

    Actual

    Fuck?

    By supporting they mean what? Calling the kid the name they want to be called by?

    They don’t necessarily need to explicitly teach gender and racial studies, whatever. But don’t tell my kids’ teachers they can’t be courteous to the kids. The kids don’t care one bit when someone who was a girl comes back saying they are a boy, they are nonchalant as fuck about it.

    You have lost this round, conservatives. The generation who will raise the next generation is already grown up with more reasonable teaching and parents who model tolerance, there are too many of us for you to be able to control us.

    Go back to your lairs and work on some other evil plan.

      Those people are far too stupid to grasp the mistake they made.

      Ignorance truly is bliss.

    If we don’t ban trans people, then Trump could end up mistakenly raping a dude, and we can’t have that! What would he even grab them by?

      A subtle aspect is that many of these people do like fucking trans women, but those trans women need to be vulnerable and disposable. When job discrimination is legal/encouraged, trans people turn to prostitution.

      A lot of the conservative Christian machine is really a massive D/s kink. Punishing women for having sex, murdering trans women for making their dick hard.

    They already made women second class citizens. Now they’re moving on to vulnerable minorities.

    Sound like any other examples from history?

    I’d say the alarms have started going off, but they’ve been going off for quite some time now. Deaf and dumb Americans as a whole can’t hear them though.

    But what does “discriminatory equity ideology” actually mean? The order defines it as “ideology that treats individuals as members of preferred or disfavored groups, rather than as individuals, and minimizes agency, merit, and capability in favor of immoral generalizations.”

    Oh for fucks sake. That literally describes how racism, sexism, and bigotry work: by treating people as part of a preferred or disfavored group instead of individuals.
