Dear Texas,
Get your priorities straight. We have a nationwide crisis on our hands and it has nothing to do with drag queens. If someone wants their child to be read to by a drag queen MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS and show respect to the person extending themselves to provide this gift to a post-pandemic child. If you don't want to attend, DONT GO... it boggles my mind that there is this idea of some kind of moral high ground that would be the foundation for this change, but... not only has there been NOTHING formally done in TX to avoid another massacre of our children and teachers, Congress has not, so far, seen the need to ban assault rifles... its a "bipartisan compromise" that fuels this, adding background checks and funds for schools security changes (because let's put more on the schools). I think if the hoops I have jumped through to get a driver's license, become an educator/SLP, get a passport, or just get through security at an airport... but an automatic firearm can be purchased without blinking an eye.... so Texas, tell me how it makes sense to ban drag queen story times with great haste? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
It's time for change
It's time to protect our most promising and precious students in the schools in the US
It's time to get real and put human life over good old boy deals, political agendas, and capitalism
It's time to respect ALL human life without judgement or criticism about how someone else chooses to live their life, particularly when expressing their authentic selves
It's time for the adults who claimed masks on our kidd at school were "traumatic", to start speaking up for the kids who are exposed to gun violence or who have to figure out how to navigate a terrifying lock down drill in a school that is preparing for an assault as if it would be as common and unavoidable or EXPECTED as a hurricane or blackout
It's time to let people live and keep them from dying!!!
So TEXAS, great job putting the important issues first in the wake of Uvalde. I am sure the parents of the children who were lost have great faith in you.
