Friday, PBS NewsHour Washington Post columnist and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart lunged at Republican bills on social issues: “Quite honestly, it looks hideous. It is horrible.
PBS anchor Judy Woodruff started with Florida: “Governor Ron DeSantis has been pushing for this — Republican-controlled legislature has now given him a raft of very — of conservative measures from what they call the Don’t Say Gay act, the Stop WOKE Act — having to do with talking about race in school — 15-week abortion bill. It is a Conservatism template This is the real question. Capehart confirmed that the situation is being played out in national elections.
CAPEHART: When Governor Reynolds of Iowa gave the response to President Biden’s State of the Union address, she said, among other things, Republican governors and legislators are showing what conservative leadership looks like. And, It is quite frankly, horrendous. It’s horrible.
Stop WOKE Act is designed to stop white children from being uncomfortable and anxious about learning about the history of the country. However, no one concerns about the poor or insufficient history that black children are experiencing.
It doesn’t mention “gay”, but the “Don’t Say Gay” bill does. Stop WOKE Act would prohibit the teaching of critical-race theory. What’s funny here is that Capehart has claimed last October that “Critical Race Theory is not taught in elementary schools, middle schools, or high schools anywhere in the United States.” So why would a ban hurt anyone, if it’s not being taught? And why does CRT prevent a “false or woefully inadequate” American history?
Capehart also attacked the other US states. The treatment that included amputating the breasts and sexual organs was called “gender-affirming” care. It would make the argument for “child abuse” more evident if they were clearer in their description.
And what makes what’s happening in Florida look like child’s play is what they’re doing in — what they’re doing — I’m here in Austin — what they did in Texas, where the governor got Supportive care that is gender-affirmingConsidered child abuse, the investigation is currently underway into parents trying to care for their children. Supportive care that is gender-affirmingTheir trans children.
And, in Idaho, Judy, they’re going one extra step, and now making — following the Texas anti-abortion template — making it a felony for parents to provide — try to find Supportive care that is gender-affirmingTheir trans children in Idaho.
Capehart also attacked an anti-abortion bill in Missouri, and then concluded Republicans “talk a lot about freedom and choice and things like that for their constituents, but, quite honestly, It seems that if the constituents of their state aren’t male, white, cisgender or heterosexual, it is as if there is no space for such people in their states.“
Gary Abernethy (the supposed conservative panel member) claimed that there were no Florida schools that teach LGBT ideology in grade school.), but gee, Democrats shouldn’t push too hard on it, “since people want their kids taught when most people think they should be discussing what I call the four R’s, reading, writing, arithmetic, and recess.”
