Just to be clear, I don't agree with the ban. But the article does say genital inspection OR provide a birth certificate showing sex at birth. It doesn’t matter. If it’s technically legal it opens the door for abuse that they’ll say is allowed. So while most districts might opt for a birth certificate, it leaves a legal option for school official to inspect a student. It could not be more wrong. Oh I know. I just didn't want people to think that genital checks were the only option.

I just didn't want people to think that genital checks were the only option. It is absolutely important to know what the bill actually says, of course. But I’m just really frustrated because that is exactly how conservatives will defend this law. They’ll say it’s just an option, they can just show a birth certificate, read what the bill says, etc. I promise I’m not coming at you or disagreeing. My H and I were just talking last night because we unfortunately have some conservative family members and he is so over them excusing everything away that the GOP does. They act like we are overreacting about things and I guarantee if we discussed this they would say it’s fine because there’s an option to show a birth certificate. But kids will be abused due to this law and parents will have no recourse because it’s “legal.”

Have y'all seen the update on Rebekah Johnson? Her 13 year old was arrested because he shared a supposed anti-cop meme in a Snapchat group chat. I saw a TikTok about it with screenshots from her Twitter. She asked who authorized the arrest and she was only told "the state." They won't release him or give many details but are charging him with digital threats of terrorism. She filed a lawsuit against the state in the last 2+ weeks. She sent her husband and daughter out of state for safety and is worried CPS is going to try to take her daughter. I have no words. How do you even begin to fight this?! I was just coming to see if anyone said something about this!

I was just coming to see if anyone said something about this! I just asked a friend group if anyone had heard of this and someone shared this article that has entirely different story: www.pnj.com/story/news/crime/2023/04/06/rebekah-jones-son-arrested-in-florida-what-we-know-about-digital-threat-allegations/70088634007/ anyone know how reliable that news outlet is? Because if that article is true he made actual threats to shoot up a school, and his mother cooperated with the investigation originally. I hope more comes out because what she's saying is incredibly concerning.

The 'questioning' thing is something. His D colleagues are standing up for him and the R is like how'd you get a bullhorn in.
Also it was brought up that its always against house rules to film members on the floor, and that a R member BROKE THE RULE by filming the video they showed.

This is the first time a minor infraction has brought about an expulsion all others were expelled for criminal offense. Earlier Rep Jones listed off a BUNCH of rule violations including a MoC urinating on another members chair IN THE CHAMBER and now he serves in leadership.

Garrett cant get his timeline straight, its alleged that they were at recess when Jones used the bullhorn, but he flips between we WERE at recess and the chair had to GAVEL when you did it.

Just FYI C-span is showing the TN legislature with the TN 3 One dude just stood up and suggested a net over the school and doing something about the big windows and station a homeland security officer at them. (ETA its rep Lamberth)
I mean................................ ITS THE FUCKING GUNS Do they plan to support a tax increase to hire enough homeland security officers to the 90,000+ public schools in the country? (Rhetorical question). I fucking hate this country so much. Just cut a few teachers to cover the salary. We're not real professionals anyways, any warm body can teach.
