WATCH: “…it wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle. I'm a gun lover. I have guns. I'm a former police officer. I’m a former Army officer ... prayers won't bring these people back. We need action in our legislatures.”
You can’t go to work, to the MALL, to the grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank.
You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a driveway, bounce a ball, or ask the neighbor to keep it down.
You can’t check out a farmer’s market or mail something at the post office or go to a parade, and you certainly can’t send your kids to school without worrying that someone will get shot.
That someone you LOVE will get shot.
Or that YOU will get shot.
This is where we are now.
This is not normal.
And this is not fucking ok.
It’s NOT fucking ok.
Reynolds also said majorities of Iowans support bills passed by the Iowa Legislature relating to gender affirming care and LGBTQ teaching. https://t.co/FECOJD28oO
Why are people so bothered by trans kids? They’re children. Not a political talking point. Where even are we as a society if we can’t agree that all kids, anywhere, regardless of identity are worthy of our unconditional love and support
School vouchers will give money to private schools that don’t accept students with disabilities. That also means public schools will get less money… Double whammy.
So utterly disappointed in our legislative system. Our schools have been under funded for a decade, but suddenly, our "leader" (w/ the help of outside interests) have found almost a BILLION dollars to fund a voucher program?
And we wonder why teachers are leaving the profession?
