As the year ends, let me thank public school teachers who, under difficult circumstances, are doing their best to educate our kids.
If this country is to flourish, we need the best education system in the world. Let’s fight for a nation where teachers are well-paid & respected.

Wow, what the actual fuck. Trans people are people. Fuck this pathetic move to erase reality!
There’s plenty to be anxious about right now. This, though? This is pure propaganda. A blatant misrepresentation of history. Trans women, esp of color, were the ones at the front of the Stonewall riot. To remove them is to remake the entire history of the event!
