Political nepo baby Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ reign of terror on LGBTQ+ people continues
fourth poorest state in the nation, even as it recovers from a devastating string of tornados. This week, Arkansas lawmakers approved a bill that would require parental approval for teachers to address their minor students with pronouns that aren’t listed on their birth certificate.
The odious legislation, which includes colleges and universities, would also prohibit schools from requiring teachers to respect a student’s pronouns.The law passed the Republican-dominated state senate by a 19-5 margin.
It will now head to Sanders’ desk for her signature where she will most certainly sign it in quick order.Lizz Garbett, the mother of a 16-year-old transgender student in Little Rock, told news station KATV that her son’s teachers have always respected his pronouns. “It sends a message of ‘You are safe here at school, we love you, now let’s call you whatever you want to be called and get about the business of learning, which is why we’re here,” she said.Disgustingly, the bill’s Senate sponsor, Mark Johnson (R), says the act is about protecting teachers.
In truth, it’s about targeting transgender kids.Sanders didn’t waste any time restricting the rights of LGBTQ+ Arkansans when she arrived in the governor’s mansion in January.
