"The classroom has become a half-abandoned battlefield, where grown-ups who claim to be protecting students from the virus, from books, from ideologies and counter-ideologies end up using children to protect themselves and their own entrenched camps."

“One study found that college-educated Democrats were more likely to hold false views about their political enemies than those without four-year degrees. More education generally makes people more Democratic, but not more democratic.” theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

2/ In my experience kids are not homophobic. In fact, they are naturally inquisitive, kind, & understanding. It’s the adults that teach kids homophobia & hate. It starts when adults in hush tones imply something is wrong & shameful. It starts with a bill like “Don’t Say Gay”

This bigoted bill is an attack on LGBTQ people everywhere. My heart breaks for the LGBTQ kids in Florida growing up just like I did who deserve to live in dignity and as their authentic selves.
I see you. And I won't stop fighting until you can.

DOE: "all schools receiving federal funding must follow federal civil rights law, including Title IX’s protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. We stand with our LGBTQ students in Florida and across the country." @SecCardona
