As a parent of young children I’ve never lost sleep over:

- The possibility that my kid could read an inappropriate book in the school library.

- Schools teaching my kid to be gay.

- Target selling rainbow / pride clothes to my kids

I have, however, lost many nights of sleep over the possibility of a mass shooting at a school.

Am I crazy or are the culture wars just baloney to try and create wedge issues for politicians who have no real ideas?

90 years ago this month, Nazis burned books.

The books they first burned were the books from the Institute of Sexology, decades of research in transgender medicine and health.

History doesn't always repeat, but it certainly rhymes.

If you have student loan debt, you should know this:

Every single House Republican just voted to overturn President Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan AND retroactively charge you interest on your paused payments.

One year ago 19 children and their two heroic educators were stolen from their family, friends and community by a gunman who legally purchased his AR-15 at 18 years old.

Following this students, parents, and teachers with @AMarch4OurLives protested at senators offices around the country demanding action. We also had the second March For Our Lives that saw over 50,000 in DC and over 400 sister marches around the country.

Afterward- Democrats and Republicans came together and passed the first federal gun law in 30 years- bucking the NRA. They did this by focusing on what they could agree on and acted passing the bipartisan communities act. No one who voted for that law including the republicans lost their election specifically because they voted for it. Change is possible. We can come together and save lives.

Let us never for get those stolen by preventable gun violence. Let us act before the next shooting and not after. The time is now to raise the standard of ownership. It’s time to address how these shooters get guns and why they pull the trigger. We must address both how they get a gun and why they kill.

Now the poem that Amanda Gorman read at President Biden’s inauguration, entitled “The Hill We Climb,” has been banned from curriculum through 5th grade in Miami-Dade County, for not being suitable for elementary students.

For those who listened to the poem, you would know the the poem was a lecture on peace, love, unity, and freedom.

This is why laws banning critical race theory from schools are a problem. People begin categorizing anything that talks about race as falling into the realm of CRT. Or they use the law to justify removing books and curriculum that can teach real history.

This isn’t free speech. This is using the law to chill the free speech of others, in my opinion.

Remember when free speech was coded as right wing

For a generation that grew up watching Bugs Bunny kiss Elmer Fudd and dress in drag half the time, Boomers sure are sensitive about drag queens.
