It’s wildly absurd yet entirely on brand for the GOP.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A newly proposed law in Missouri could charge teachers and counselors with a felony and require them to register as sex offenders if they’re found guilty of supporting transgender students who are socially transitioning.
In an interview with CNN affiliate KY3, Gragg said the goal of the bill is to “put the social learning development of our children back in the hands of the parents.”
During a news conference Thursday, Charles Gragg, Jr., a retired and disabled veteran who lives in Springfield, Missouri, said he was shocked by the bill his younger brother authored and that the measure “took his breath away.”
“We will certainly have conversations with legislators to see what can be done, but also we’ll mobilize our community of LGBTQ+ Missourians and allies to fight back against this because teachers are an incredibly crucial part of our educational system,” Fischer said.
“While this egregious bill is expected to die in committee hearings, it is increasingly alarming to watch extremist state legislators peddle anti-trans hate and continue to introduce discriminatory policies,” Willingham-Jaggers said in a statement to CNN.
Civil rights groups and advocates have blamed a heightened and hostile climate against the LGBTQ+ community for contributing to Benedict’s death.
The original article contains 770 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 75%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
The fact that anyone thinks this is sane is legitimately sad…
They don’t want trans people to exist as anything but a porn category, so they treat us as just that, a profanity. It’d be funny because of how pathetic it is, but real people are dying because of this.
I hear you. Have you read Project 25? They have plans to take it to the extreme if Trump wins.
it leads down a pretty dark rabbit whole of general Federalist Society plans for an overtly conservative autocratic regime, and it’s terrifyingly plausible if they consolidate enough power and funding. and that’s all pretty easy with the support of foreign oligarchs that need the US to be fully involved in its own libertarian implosion, so it can turn a blind eye to international war crimes.
i long for the times when conspiracy theories used to be fun spooky stories about cryptids wandering the wilds, and aliens doing creepy stuff in cornfields to mess with farmers
I love how the GOP is committing suicide.
We like to pretend that but they seem to be going strong. Their base, and there is a lot of them, eat this shit up.
True. But, as of right now, polls have Biden and the dip shit neck and neck pretty much. I know polls aren’t’ everything but…yeah. Thats still scary.
You can here the calls now, can’t you? “Why don’t people want to go into teaching anymore?”
Killing education has been a GOP cornerstone for at least a century now. Education teaches people to think for themselves and make educated decisions, and those types of people would never vote Republican. The GOP are grooming children to vote for them to let them stay in power.
Their politics isn’t “support the next generation”. It is “how can the next generation support us”. Education is the antithesis of this ideal.
