This Week in Statehouse Action: Taxation Without Fair Representation edition
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/4/15/2025930/-This-Week-in-Statehouse-Action-Taxation-Without-Fair-Representation-edition
GOP lawmakers in both Tennessee and Arizona have sent bills to their respective governors that will require that parents specifically permit their kids to be taught about HIV/AIDS, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
And this isn’t just in sex ed—teachers can’t talk about the gay rights movement or the fight for marriage equality or, like, anything that’s even related to LGBTQ matters in History class or wherever else it might be relevant.
Remember Tennessee’s “Don’t Say Gay” bills from the long-ago time of 2012-2013? This is the same thing with a different haircut.
