Today, Republican lawmakers moved forward a bill to ban discussion of LGBTQ+ people in Florida schools. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I’m disgusted and heartbroken.
@JDCocchiarella @FetsKatze I'm guessing that will spur a lot of discussion - especially in the playground.
@JDCocchiarella As an LGBTQ+ ally, I'm beyond disgusted and appalled, but not surprised. In my opinion, every radical Republican politician needs to be desperately smitten by the Lord.
@JDCocchiarella Next up, Red states challenging Gay marriage to the SCOTUS and the right wing justices will rule for States having the rights to set laws for their states.
@JDCocchiarella That certainly complicates discussing Turing machines, Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker", and ... oh ... hundreds of other topics that should be taught in schools.
@JDCocchiarella People have to vote this hate out. Vote. The best form of protection.
@JDCocchiarella Won’t that eliminate a huge chunk of history? And how will they retroactively know which historical figures to exclude? This is tongue in cheek, but illustrates the absurdity of such a bill
@JDCocchiarella @joncoopertweets Remember this on Election Day.
@JDCocchiarella @WelbourneStud This is a perfect example of why we ALL need to be paying attention to what lawmakers are doing (and NOT doing) on the federal, state and local levels. If you still believe that our democracy isn’t in danger, then you’re truly not paying attention. PLEASE VOTE!!!
