The Cobb County teacher who was fired last month after reading a book about gender identity to her students has appealed her termination to the State Board of Education.

Presumably she did it as an intentional protest against stupid rules?
Sometimes people have to stand up to the bullshit.
Well she brought kids into it. Its one thing to picket or whatever, but you don’t screw with kids.
God forbid she educates the kids about a highly vulnerable minority on the authoritarian chopping block
Yes, I agree. Teachers shouldn’t be spreading propaganda, especially to kids.
Its not propaganda. Its reality. Gender exists. I think you’re on the wrong website - you’re looking for truthsocial.com
Wtf is truth social?
Lol is that really the best you can do MAGA troll?
Legitimatly, i don’t go to the right wing sites. I spend enough time on lemmy. Worst was exploding heads, but thats also lemmy.
Ive never gone to TS, but I assume its right wing? If it is, why that particular one? Why not gab or parler or voat or whatever?
Who spends all day looking up different social media sites?
Drugs exist etc etc. Not her call to tell little kids that drugs are actually fun right? Even when true.
Schools absolutely have drug education programs.
Are you fucking stupid?
Idk about you but they forced me to listen to a pig talk about DARE
Yes. We should absolutely tell kids that drugs are fun. Along with all the rest. DARE programs are linked with higher drug usage, because they lie and keep the truth from kids, and they kids test what they were taught, find out it was lies, and don’t trust anything else from the program. Hiding reality from people does not make them better equipped for reality.
What exactly do you think they’re paid to do? Because I sure as hell didn’t hear more than a minute about stonewall, Malcolm X, Vietnam, or even the Philippines in history class until I was in college. Of course, I heard lots about Rosa Parks and sit ins, but the only real violence we learned about during the civil rights movement was against Emmett Till or MLK.
I heard more than a minute about them, and I went to school in Texas. Had entire chapters on civil rights and vietnam.
I had chapters on civil rights too, just very narrowly scoped to be compatible with not making the USA look bad. How did your school handle Waco and the aids epidemic?
Didn’t the transphobes bring kids into it? She’s just fighting back aginst their inappropriate treatment of trans kids
The fascists taking over school boards brought kids into it.
Thats backwards. The whole pitch behind trans adults was “let adults do what they want to themselves” which is something I agree with. Kids were supposed to be left alone.
So leave them alone to transition.
Trans adults were trans kids once and they will have better adulthood if people like you don’t force them to experience incongruous puberty before graciously allowing them to “fix” the damage later.
Them being adults or kids?
Because kids cant consent to a tattoo, never mind hormones.
And puberty blockers aren’t magic. You know that.
You don’t know what I know.
And if kids can’t consent, how is forcing them to go through permanent changes by not providing blockers acceptable.
You would seem to be arguing for doling out blockers to all children until they can understand and consent to the changes of puberty.
A bold proposition, but I’d hear you out.
Alright, I deserved that, I worded that poorly.
Kids can’t consent to puberty blockers.
So how are they able to consent to not having them?
You seem to be making a value judgment that views transness as something inherently to be avoided and if so you’re not worth engaging as you’re arguing backwards from the position “trans is bad”.
Since we know that’s not true your position can be discarded.
