Kim Reynolds, "They think patriotism is racist and pornographic library books are education,"

GOP Leaders Lob Accusations At Teachers Of Child Abuse, Indoctrination, Hating America

Iowa Republican lawmakers promised that passing the private school voucher bill was only the beginning of their plan to reshape education and fight against public school “indoctrination” during an event in Des Moines on Thursday.

Moms for Liberty, a Florida-based right-wing organization that has led a nationwide crusade to ban books they don’t approve of, sponsored the event which featured Gov. Kim Reynolds and other state Republican leaders.

When she spoke, Reynolds endorsed several bills moving through the Iowa Legislature including a revamped version of last year’s curriculum bill, a bill to limit the teaching of gender identity, and one that forcibly outs LGBTQ students.

“Think about it. It’s sad that any of this needs to be written into law,” Reynolds said. “Unfortunately, that is where we’re at.”

with corporate charter schools, twist curriculum to their liking, politicizing history and funding the politicians they want in power. Moms for Liberty [Bigotry] is a manufactured creation of FL politicians (Christian and Bridget Ziegler and others), with the lovely Steve Bannon's blessing and guidance, to weaponize the Proud Boys Ladies Auxiliary.

would be just fine with starting every public school day with a RWNJ (really white nazi Jesus) -oriented prayer along with assorted authoritarian affirmations. I really hate her ilk and their self-righteous brand of conservative idiocy. Our once egalitarian, enlightened and progressive state is doomed to becoming a third rate republican hog swamp under these regressive dipshits.
