I agree it can have a profound impact on those involved, but why is the economy or pipelines (impacts everyone dramatically) having to take the back seat on the media stage with such a niche issue? Makes no sense beyond trying to paint the right as bigots.

The problem with this whole GSA focus is it misses some very concerning issues with curriculum changes and funding for schools.
It appears from the statements that Private schools would get 100% of the tax payer portion of the per student funding. It proposes to remove “New Math”. And while New Math does need to add more repetitive learning to it the methods taught to understand numbers are fantastic. Getting rid of it is a significant step back.
It also appears to be very regressive of Sexual Education appearing to allow schools more choice on what to teach. This is not acceptable from a public health standpoint.
Kenny’s education plan is terrible and being lost in the GSA discussion that just sewers the debate.
