Some videos / new broadcasts on kids being bullied and how it is much worse now that maga wants to remove protections.

If the maga right wing have their way, any and all protections from students bullied because of being different or LGBTQIA. New laws in red states like Florida remove not only the anti-bulling campaigns but also prevent teachers from stepping to defend the LGBTQIA attacked kid because that would be seen as promoting sexual orientation or gender identification. All positive posters, safe space stickers, and rainbow acceptance stuff removed. No more books or movies saying it is OK to be gay or different. These laws take us back to a time when children were terrified to be outed as not straight or cis, and leave schools with no legal way to help these kids or prevent their abuse. This is what the moms of TikTok and mom’s of liberty want. This is what the maga Christian Republican Party want, to drive the kids who are different back into hiding who they are, push them violently back into the closet so that they will feel shame and fear over who they are. Are we as a nation going to turn our backs on decades of work to promote tolerance and acceptance of those who are different? Are we going to again return to a time when kids were terrified to learn or even be in school? Will we let the maga thug mentality win as the way people in the US should act or be? Hugs. Scottie

These videos took me over a week to watch and then place here. While some are out of date, I chose them instead of newer ones because this is the school world the maga Christians are fighting to return to. Kids being different are singled out and collectively punished. While watching these the ever helpful YouTube algorithm, or the push stay on our site what these next suggestion lists filled up with abuse videos. So be careful if that bothers you as much as I, I finally took to watching them off-line. Hugs. Scottie
