Georgia school board fires teacher for reading a book to students about gender identity

  • You know what actually makes aggressive sales pitches and pushes? Religion.

    Books like the one the teacher read do NOT force or influence children to become trans. They teach them about being open minded and to love everyone around us, no matter how they choose to express themselves.

    Religion, on the other hand, DOES force children to pick a life of close-mindedness by threatening the fear of eternal damnation if they don't follow the rules in a book.

    Kids need to be protected from this stuff. Sorry.

  • The American political system is extremely broken. Part of me wonders if making voting mandatory would help. I believe our biggest problem is not having enough younger people in public office, and that may be a result of not enough young adults voting. Not just for presidential elections, but for local/midterm elections as well. Obviously it's not something we can change right away, but I think we need to set ourselves on that path.

    We have too many people in office who only care about the short-term goals because they're going to die soon anyway.

    We need term limits and quite possibly age limits in every aspect of public office. Sadly, the people who have the ability to make those changes are the ones benefitting from the current broken system. So they won't make it happen.
