I never thought I'd call a high school valedictorian metal but that was before this kid called for school board members to resign over their participation in racist and queerphobic oppression targeting students during his valedicory address.
The kids are out there putting it all on the line, fighting not to be dragged into a theocratic future. Adults could learn a thing or two.
Calling for the school board to resign at graduation. Fuck yeah he did.
It's hard for me to understand what high school students have to endure just to learn what needs to be learned to make their future lives safer.
I didn't experience the shit they currently are with ignorant right wing crazies imposing their special brand of religious fuckery.
I support their attempt to rid themselves of the Evangelical Luddites who trying to turn the US into the Republic of Gilead as written about in the Atwood books "Handmaid's Tale" and the "Testaments."
