George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽A 5th grade teacher in FL was investigated for showing a Disney movie with a gay character in it. She has resigned bc she's sick of the politics.
Is this the America you want? No?
Then help us vote these ghouls out.
Radical EdwardThe plan is working. Make public education impossible so there is no alternative but to give public funds to private schools, Christian.
Louee@georgetakei Good luck Florida finding teachers for your rancid school systems.
Phil@Janef @georgetakei the big problem is that they will find teachers who have no problem with this. They will create a whole generation of students who believe in this as well. It’s known as a grassroots movement and they will continue to support it as long as they are in power. Think of Stalin and his “hearts and minds” pogrom.
@Zaphodab @georgetakei I do think of it. But a lot of teachers will take offense at these psychos rattling around in their classrooms. Teachers unite and fight this fascism!

@georgetakei What is needed is a total ban on the participation of right wingers in politics. No more voting rights, no more eligibility for elected office or government jobs, no more access to welfare or social security, for any of them. They can go die working in the fields left empty by their immigration policies and be useful as fertilizer.

Really. If your most basic idea of government is that it is inevitably corrupt and inefficient and harmful and oppressive and "the scariest words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'" and all that Reagan crap and you want to shrink the government so small that you could drown it in the bathtub and that everybody, no matter how crazed, needs a military weapon to protect themselves b from their own government, etc etc etc, then probably you should be prevented from joining the government and putting your ideals into operation.

Ben ToddThe major problem with the US/current world isn't right wingers necessarily, the major problem is extremism: the gop, nazis, national conservatives, stalin communists, taliban, evangelical christians, the one thing they have in common is extremist beliefs that they want to impose on others.
Its extremists that should not be allowed anywhere near power because they can't be reasoned with.
@monkeyben @georgetakei There is no extreme left in the US with any access to power, nor even the potential to gain such access. The only extremists who matter are the right. Nobody further to the right than Joe Biden has either business or right involved in government.
sean, with words@georgetakei with respect, being hyper-focused on voting as The or even A solution to fascism is counter productive to actually getting rid of fascism.
Jennifer Deseo@seanwithwords The fash have voter suppression and gerrymandering on lock. Even if every Floridian voted blue, the fash would still be in charge.
Same problem in Texas and North Carolina.
@jdeseo exactly and we have a clear and present danger that transcends local political districts or issues. Letting people off the hook by even suggesting voting will fix this is very dangerous.
mynameisblueskye Au@georgetakei She resigned? 😳
OpenDNA⚙️@georgetakei I wonder how long before Blue states (California) start sending out recruiters to poach teachers from Red states (Florida).
Canada sends recruiters to poach healthcare workers from the UK every time the Tories try to grind the NHS down.
@opendna Could be tricky: some California municipalities have uber-high costs of living. Would make relocation difficult, even if salary is spicy.
@jdeseo True, but the California is so flush with taxes that it has started throwing money at teacher housing. Realizing that down-payment subsidies weren't enough, they've started building public housing for teachers.
It won't be long before Calif school districts include a close-to-work apartment in the compensation package.
tibbi ✨@georgetakei
Any school will be grateful to have such an awesome teacher. I hope she moves to Oregon because we always need great teachers.

Fuck Florida.
My company won’t be going to Orlando to hold it’s annual conference any more. Ten years of Marriott’s Grand Lakes in Orlando was fun. Sigh.
It won’t make any difference, but Fuck Florida. Fuck DeSantis.

Scott, present & accounted for@C0ppert0p @georgetakei Good! Money is the only thing they understand.
TeeJay Hardin@C0ppert0p @georgetakei it’s becoming very clear that Rhonda has established the republic of DeSantistan in order to drive out “the undesirables” by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Power mad little wombat wishes to bring his 50’s style of rule upon the country. That shiat ain’t happening while this brotha’ is breathing
James@georgetakei
Just to say thank you for voicing and continuing to do so.
We've had some of these ghouls visiting the UK, in the form of a sub party conference of 'Conservatism' funded from the states. Both conferences attended by the Victorian values blow up of Mogg

moku@georgetakei The right want normal non-deranged teachers to resign
Holger Fiallo@georgetakei Not just the school. Vote against anyone who pushes hate. America the world watches and they are making fun of us. They probably figure that ignorant and stupid people are more frequent in the US. Specially the South.
Ceek@georgetakei on this one, they won. One less teacher that opposes their BS to push back against the tide of educational take over. They are winning n the classroom in Florida
TransitBiker@georgetakei every single one of those students had a parent or guardian sign a permission slip. Keep that in mind.
Kitsune!I personally believe that everyone should be able express their thoughts and show whatever. This is a democracy right? Lets keep it that way.
Toot Ωncommon - SHUT 🇺🇸 DOWN@georgetakei Has DeSantis prohibited children from seeing the original Star Trek yet? Actually all of the Trek series are “woke” apparently, so it’s only a matter of time.
Wokebloke for Democracy@georgetakei
How about a Go Fund Me for teachers who want to relocate?

chicating@georgetakei Sometimes I think voting them out is too good for them. But I'd take it.
jillcoach@georgetakei They just want to dismantle public schools...rich kids get educated and poor kids work in factories. Welcome back to the 1890's
Elric the damned@georgetakei move to Florida and register to vote George.
Ω 🌍 Gus Posey@georgetakei (I think I owe you an apology; it seems clear that Biden, a man I really admire, won't be taking the steps to advocate for the trans community that I suggested he would.)
MiMi Agnew@georgetakei Her first year. Dang.That’s because there is no strong teachers union in Florida to protect teachers. She will be appreciated in another state.
@georgetakei I don’t live in that America. I live in Washington State. People who live in Florida are morons and deserve what they get.
Hulk Smash COVID@georgetakei If only we could deport republicans when they cross the Florida border...
@georgetakei You can't force people to accept gay.
Georgia VlahosYou don’t have to like it. But you can’t impose your close minded beliefs on others
@GeorgiaVlahos @georgetakei Last time I checked, gay's are the ones imposing their dirty and despicable deeds on others.
@brainbox @georgetakei
That’s your opinion. Present some facts as to how it affects you? And why you are fit to stand in judgement of others?

@GeorgiaVlahos @georgetakei I'm not judging anyone. We are all opinionated. But, don't force your life, belief or ways on others. We must not stand for the LGBT community. They should respect people that choose not to accept them. That's my point.
@brainbox @georgetakei when those people pass laws that take away their rights, they should fight back.
@GeorgiaVlahos @georgetakei The law doesn't negate immorality and inhumane beliefs coined by humans.
@brainbox @georgetakei morality is a subjective matter and can’t be effectively legislated.
Toby@georgetakei Love you sir
@georgetakei Recognizing that not everyone can do so, Florida teachers should consider moving to a state that supports them.
Matthew Cole@georgetakei 😊🤣 "voting"! That's cute. Yes, indeed, voting has fixed so many problems over the last 60 years. It's about as effective as wishing on a star.
Red Shirt Dude@georgetakei I was told there was a gay character in Beauty and the Beast. Then I watched it and was like, "WTF!?! Aren't they all gay?".
Rica Tatiana 🏳️⚧️🇵🇷🏳️🌈@Red_Shirt_Dude @georgetakei wasn't it Judy's neighbors in Zootopia a couple or they just were good friends and roommates?
