What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.
Two black men who stood up and spoke expelled. One white woman who stood up but didn’t speak avoided expulsion. Being silenced was addressed by all three. There’s no reading between the lines on this one. This is Tennessee… be silent and do as I say.

It’s really weird that children are pleading for our legislators to protect them and we’re expelling the ones who are trying to do that. Trying to protect CHILDREN … but ok TN.
