MAGA Politicians shutdown Student participation because it's not really about them.

The most infuriating thing about the "parental rights" exploitation movement in school districts around the nation is the profound lack of confidence they have in their own children. They don't seem to be ready for anything. 

As a family and having helped our 20 something sons make their way through the last 18 years of school, what I'm hearing from the MAGA mob is not even close to what we experienced. Our family discussions and debates about social, historical, and political issues have given our guys a platform to bank their ideas off our own life experiences. Isn't that what the American family is all about? 

That's why I'm giving the video below its own post. The MAGA politicians' treatment of smart civically minded kids just trying to participate and make a difference is disgusting.    

If this doesn't piss you off...

Several students from the Little Rock School District came to speak against the bill. Every speaker was made to stop talking by the committee chair, Republican Sen. Jane English, who said their comments were not specific enough to the amendment.

 

Little Rock School Board member Ali Noland gave the final public comment:

“The way that you all are treating these students who have shown up to participate in the legislative process by pointing out things that are not in the amendment but should be, which is speaking on the amendment, is so disappointing,” she said, “Believe me, you are giving them much more of a platform than if you had just listened to their criticism of the amendment.”

That platform is right here.
