TheShader Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 House Republicans pass Parents Bill of Rights THEHILL.COM House Republicans passed an education bill on Friday that emphasizes parental rights in the classroom, leaning into a hot-button, culture war issue that has gained popularity in GOP politics... This is the first national bill to target transgender youth, forcing them to be outed to their parents as well as forcing teachers to misgender students by withholding Federal funding from schools that do not implement such policies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 The five Republicans who voted with the Democrats against the bill did so because they believe the Department of Education shouldn't exist in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 This obviously isn’t going to go anywhere though it’s scary to think about next time republicans hold the senate. I’m still not sure if going full boar on government sponsored hate crimes is going to be what people are going to want to see the government spending time on in 24 though.

The reason they're putting so much energy into going after this kind of stuff is because the Republican party pretty much doesn't have a platform of like... governance. They want to "cut government spending," but can't find anything to cut that wouldn't be political suicide (cut from what? Medicare? Social Security? the military?), so the only option they have is to get people riled up over single issues like the trans woke CRT agenda. It's the only card they have to play. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air_Delivery Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Its been confirmed they are going so hard after LBGTQ+ people because the abortion vote is essentially dead. They had to find something to direct their hate at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely hoping to copy the unfortunate success of political campaigns against the trans community in the UK where attacking trans rights has become popular amongst both the conservative and the liberal parties.

5timechamp Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Well we had Parkland victim parents thrown out at a gun hearing so overall it seems GOP has been very “productive”…Pat Fallon of Texas of course had to add the extra bit of spice by mockingly asking “is this an insurrection” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
