GOP: The only way to protect our kids is ban history, ban books, ban drag, and arm more kids with guns.

@QasimRashid The 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary was heartbreaking evidence the GOP doesn't give a damn about white children, much less anybody else's.

@SharonGibson3 @QasimRashid

It has struck me repeatedly during the #BLM-debate that they really don't care about white lives at all, what they DO care about is that black lives don't matter. They seem willing to sacrifice many a child, white or otherwise, on that stupid, racist altar.

@SuneAuken @QasimRashid What gets me is their "concern" over white students' discomfort in history class. Who takes personally the atrocities of the long-dead--or more recent villains for that matter? When I was a kid, I saw the picture of Emmett Till in his open casket. As a black child who worried about encountering quicksand in a Midwestern city, thanks to movies & one who was tormented by older kids w scary stories, I never thought the monsters who murdered Till would come for me.
@SharonGibson3 @SuneAuken @QasimRashid I had the quicksand thing too!!!! Lol.
While age appropriateness is important, eventually everyone should be exposed to feeling a level of discomfort when facing those horrific episodes of our past. Hopefully empathy is created and not apathy.
