Here I am teaching my students you can not just print off more money to pay for things, and here our Governor is pretty much doing that by creating vouchers for private schools that will most likely go to well-off families. Let’s look back in a year and see who really used them.

We banned lawn darts after 3 kids died in accidents. We banned a dresser from IKEA because it was flawed and killed 8 children. Meanwhile, 22 kids are shot every day with gunsβ€”5 will die every single day. The Republicans refuse any measures to curb the violence. They don’t care.

In my educational law classes, I used to ask my class what would happen if Vickie Frost, the plaintiff of the infamous Mozert v. Hawkins County Public Schools case, got control of the curriculum. We are here now, and it is scary. bluecerealeducation.com/blog/mozert-v-

Now let’s get to work on banning more books and gay events and while were at it let the MNPD and republican law makers and voters keep supporting lax gun laws!!! Guess that’s one way to keep job security.

Doesn’t Nebraska care about parental rights? Or do only some parents get those rights?

This hateful bill is not about policy. It is a basic human rights issue. The vote today will show us exactly which senators value the dignity, autonomy, and personhood of Nebraskans. Do not cross this line. Do not violate our rights. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #NELeg
