@thereidout "As I noted in March, a federal judge in New York ruled that Wohl and Burkman had violated the Ku Klux Klan Act, a 19th-century law that protects people from political intimidation."
As a former football player, Iβve played on several teams throughout my life - but my team will always be Texas. Ted Cruz is only looking out for himself.

π¨π¨π¨MAJOR BREAKING:
In direct response to Ron DeSantisβ book banning in Florida, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker just signed a law that will make Illinois the FIRST state to END book bans!
Oh this is good.
Not only will it stop Illinois libraries across the states from banning books and other materials, but it will DISQUALIFY libraries from being eligible for state grants if they donβt comply.
βIn Illinois, we donβt hide from the truth, we embrace it and lead with it,β Pritzker said. βBanning books is a devastating attempt to erase our history and the authentic stories of many.β
Efforts to curb reading materials are βabout restricting the freedom of ideas that certain individuals disagree with,β Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias said.
This is a huge win for FREEDOM and education! The state of Illinois is sending a message that parents and kids should be able to choose what they would like to read!
Smash that π if you want to see EVERY state prohibit the ban of books!
