A Simple Logic Test
OK, so here where the Republicans stand:
- All books about diversity should be banned from school libraries to protect kids from being exposed to anything not bible thumping, white, and straight.
- Teachers don’t have the judgement to set their own curriculum.
- In more and more states teachers aren’t allowed to say the word “gay” or even address the fact that millions of children live in “non-traditional” families.
- Teachers are not allowed to teach actual history including slavery, subjugation of women, immigrants, or those who are not white.
- Textbooks that discuss actually history are banned because they might upset kids.
Now these same Republicans are calling to arm teachers with firearms to protect children against shooters who are, BY STATUTE, allowed to buy and own weapons of war and unlimited amounts of high powered ammo online.
So, to be clear – Teachers cannot be trusted to teach their students on subjects of history, social studies, and civics, but those same teachers must be depended on to carry firearms that can repel attacks by crazed gunmen carrying high powered weapons of war and wearing body armor.
Is it me, or have Republicans and their base lost their fucking minds?
