In Montana, parents just won the "right" to remove kids from a classroom with a #lesbian teacher. Scary, anti-#LGBTQ Pink Scare redux? Of course! But Frenchtown is fighting back and WINNING. So, let's discuss important #ParentalRights principles this case teaches us! 👇
I used to work at the Starbucks in the #yeg City Centre Mall. Every week or so, a kid would come to the cafe and ask for a cup of water and a breakfast sandwich.
They would always pay in carefully counted coin and over time noticed they were wearing the same clothes.
One day, I managed to catch them on the way out as I was stocking the condiment stand and asked if they were okay.
"The issue of what books are allowed to be carried by school libraries, Florida states, should be settled at the "ballot box." According to the state's filing, public school libraries "are not a forum for free expression."

“There’s considerable irony in that those who seek 2 limit access 2 #books in school libraries often say they’re fighting 4 #ParentalRights,” said #KenPaulson, director of #FreeSpeechCenter @ #MiddleTennesseeStateUniversity. “If government #speech determines what books can be in the #library, the government is essentially saying your children can only see the ideas that the government has approved.
Tomorrow I'll drop the first post in a new blog series about the American Academy of #Pediatrics (#AAP) and their policy positions on children's bodily and gender #rights. I want readers to come away with insight into what problems the AAP needs to resolve in their upcoming review of #Gender-affirming care.
A minority of haters should not and cannot control the rights of our country.

Conservatives are importing the USA's dumbest moral panic into Canada and 0 people on team "parental rights" get asked how if they expect LGBTQ kids to be removed from class.
Reporters consistently let parents situate themselves outside of reality, pretending this is all hypotheticals when it's actually kids' lives.
"Don't you dare tell my child who you are!!!" Is such cowardice. #parentalrights#canqueer#transrightsarehumanrights
Can a state prohibit gay people from adopting children or stop immigrants from purchasing property? Under modern Supreme Court precedent, the answer to these questions is an emphatic no. Over the past week, however, federal judges appointed by Donald Trump have answered both questions yes #lgbtqrights#parentalrights
Hey conservatives! You are not the only parents. I want my kids to read controversial & banned books. I want them to get up close & personal with experiences outside their own WASPy middle-class upbringing. I want them to be uncomfortable & make up their own minds.
So tell your own kids what they can read, but hands off the school library, and hands off the public library, or you infringe on my parents rights to raise educated, empathetic kids.
