As a parent I’m not worried that my 9 and 13 year olds are going to be “indoctrinated” with “wokeness” at school.
I’m not worried that they’re going to ‘feel guilty about their whiteness’ because they’re learning accurate history.
I’m not worried that they’re going to be “groomed” to become furries and to make their pees pees in litter boxes.
Those things aren’t real.
Wanna know what is real?
My worry that they’re going to get shot. That someone with an AR-15 is going to go into their school and shoot them.
So, while the same gun fetishizing, AR-15 lapel pin wearing, locked and loaded family Christmas card posing Republicans fear monger & manufacture crises under the guise of “parents rights”, I say this:
It is my right as a parent to send my kids to school without worrying that they will get shot.
It ain’t the drag queens, the African American history, the books with two moms or two seahorse dads which threaten our kids.
It’s the fucking guns.
@Theholisticpsyc seeing this drawn out like this makes me realize how i got to where i am .....and how I let down my own kids because i didn't know.....it's heartbreaking really.
Being exposed to lots of death-- especially in a relatively short amount of time-- can ABSOLUTELY be a traumatic stressor.
The loss of A significant person or pet is an almost universally difficult experience. Multiply that again & again, & our nervous system can short circuit.
