A grumpy message to the #Tennessee State Legislature. I approve.
"What they get from the Legislature are obsessions about drag shows which they’ve never seen, interfering in the freedom of families they’ve never met to make their own decisions about their children...and they push “classical education” they can’t explain and is more about injecting their political and religious beliefs into our public school classrooms."
