This is absolutely embarrassing. #Iowa used to be the Education State. Now we’re in a state of ignorance and censorship. #kimreynoldshasgotogo #iowagop #BookBans #1984 #lgbtq https://www.aol.com/iowa-book-bans-toll-3-105032134.html

Iowa book ban's toll: 3,400 pulled books, including '1984' and 'To Kill a Mockingbird'

If you had any doubts remaining, here's more evidence that the #GOP #RepublicanParty are a bunch of hypocrites! They want #Women to have more children (see #Dobbs ruling) so as 14 year-olds those kids can go to work in meat processing plants!

Now Iowa wants to ban margarine from schools? Let me be clear. With all the real problems Iowa has right now, and with them gutting funding for public schools- now this.The unhoused population in Des Moines public schools is far more important than butter vs. margarine, or attacking LGBTQ, or banning books or vouchers for private schools. Nothing Iowa is doing is important except making Iowa a theocracy and driving people away from this hate filled state. #iowa #iowaGOP #ialegis
