Here's the video of @KonfrstForHouse literally calling "bullshit.

[SW Iowa Pat @SWIEducator]

@LauraRBelin Same article circulated in Senate yesterday.

[SW Iowa Pat @SWIEducator]

@SymoneDSanders @thereidout @maddow @MSNBC Hateful bills are passed quickly in Iowa. Banning books, gender affirming care, discussion of LGBTQ families, and more. Power grab by Governor and AG, limiting Auditor's role. Please investigate.

WATCH: Some GOP senators condemned Tucker Carlson's claim that Jan. 6 was "mostly peaceful."

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.): "It's bulls---t."

Sen. Thune (R-S.D.): "It was an attack on the Capitol."

Sen. Cramer (R-N.D.): "It was not just some rowdy peaceful protest of Boy Scouts."

not allowing classrooms to discuss systemic racism IS systemic racism

If we value education, we must also value educators.

Republicans have literally ignored their constituents who are overwhelmingly against the voucher bill. I’ve heard from all corners of the state, including bright red Sioux County. Iowans don’t want vouchers. #novouchers

[Rob Sand @RobSandIA]

THERE IT IS: the vouchers plan would give YOUR money to the wealthy to cover their private school bills! Don't like it: contact your legislator: https://t.co/fNoHjJEBix and show up: Tuesday 1/17 5 PM, Iowa State Capitol Room 103

[Rob Sand @RobSandIA]

Vouchers mean less money for public schools, period. Tell your legislator to oppose them: https://t.co/fNoHjJEBix and show up: Tuesday 1/17 5 PM, Iowa State Capitol Room 103

[Common Good Iowa @CommonGoodIowa]

#IAlegis leaders are moving quickly -- shockingly quickly -- on their voucher scheme. Within 3 years, the state would direct public dollars to private school tuition for any family, no income limits whatsoever. That's radical.

BREAKING: Music superstar Taylor Swift — who endorsed Joe Biden in 2020 and opposes the repeal of Roe — urges her 228 million Instagram followers to vote early in the 2022 midterm election to uphold our democracy. RT IF YOU'LL TAKE TAYLOR SWIFT OVER KANYE WEST ANY DAY!

[Sarah Trone Garriott @SarahforIowa]

This was an executive action—all the Governor’s choice, the legislature had no say. Especially if you are a person who has been left out, despite your hard work these past two years, share your thoughts with the Gov: https://t.co/qeWPG1gKTo

[Sarah Trone Garriott @SarahforIowa]

The Governor promised to use our federal relief funds to give out $1,000 bonuses to teachers. But she left our school nurses, librarians, counselors, aids, and others who are essential to our public schools. I’m hearing from folks who are upset about this. What you can do 🧵:

@natsechobbyist I want to warn you about the SOTU rebuttal from Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds. I was born, raised in Iowa. Reynolds is going to say a lot of things about standing with Ukraine. This is Kim Reynolds. She won't denouce Trump even now. Do not believe a word she says.

[SW Iowa Pat @SWIEducator]

@LauraRBelin State rep is trying to portray this are a win for Title IX! What??? Not so much!

[We Are Teachers @WeAreTeachers]

Reddit's dedicated, career teachers share why they're quitting. https://t.co/twLNzgqhpE

[SW Iowa Pat @SWIEducator]

@NBCNews Similar tactics are happening in Iowa spearheaded by GOP majority legislature and Governor Kim Reynolds. Teachers have been accused of having a "sinister agenda" and teaching with pornographic materials.
