Matt wants children to read Gender Queer. How strange.
And the Heritage Foundation is right wing also and home to the Project 2025 BS we are now living under after Trump denied he knew anything about it during the campaign.
Hard to claim real “freedom” when subjects, books, and “tenure” decisions are all determined by the politicians. They mean “freedom” like what Daddy tells us to do.
What project 2025 bs are you living under??? You are not even aware of the wood burner debacle
But I thought banning p*rn from skool is what Nazis did? — ACLUSPLCDNC
What a joke!
Yeah, but ALEC’s “ratings” are right-wing garbage. So they mean nothing.
ALEC gives the Freedom Award to the state that banned the most books.
Goebbels taught these junior fascists how doublespeak works. They learned real good.
