@Irishroze @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine

if i recall correctly from my decades of jousting with schools, curriculum is exclusively down to approval by the state's school board (in compliance with any Federal standards applicable in order to receive Federal funding.)
If it isn't directly from/implemented by the state school board, it isn't effective, as far as i know? (State legislatures notwithstanding...)

I spend a significant amount of time working in youth service agencies in very conservative states, and I can tell you these publicly funded places are generally wayyyy more inclusive to the LGBTQ+ community, specifically trans and gender fluid youth than the general population.

I haven't been in Texas but I have agencies there, and all comply and exceed our requirements for inclusion.

Also, you can't get gender reassignment surgery until 18, already.

That memo is gaslighting outrage, IMO.

Just got a call.

The warming shelters in my nearby town will open tonight.
They badly need volunteers to staff.
So tonight that's where I will be.

Gonna have to take a long nap.

This is actually a blast, as I get to meet some very interesting folk. If you have never done this I recommend it... Check your local shelter.

As still β€œtechnically” a member of house Republicans, let me, with all my might, condemn this damn awful tweet during this crisis. You can criticize policy but this is insane and feeds into Putins narrative. But hey, retweets amirite?
