Indiana's Attorney General Todd Rokita launched a tool for parents to report "gender ideology" in schools. Users immediately began sending memes in protest,
I think you missed the time and taxpayer money that has already been spent on persecuting Dr. Caitlin Bernard for performing a legal abortion on a raped 10-year-old. Rokita has been doing witch hunts for a while now.
Hello fellow Hoosier, I emailed our school superintendent last year when the stupid book banning bill thing was proposed, and then passed. I wanted to know if there would be a way to tell if people requested books to be banned, so I could go out and buy them for my kid to read. (because obviously they must be read worthy)
I followed up with him recently since the bill had passed. He did, at least, inform me that no ban requests have been made. So at least in our school there wasn’t some crazy people waiting to start complaining and getting books removed. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to search for banned books though which I would like to see as an option.
Well that’s definitely encouraging. I’m from a small town (my graduating class was less than 60 people), but I haven’t heard about any book bans here either.
I actually filled out their form, with my info but didn’t meme them. I wrote out a paragraph or so message about how disingenuous the GOP has been. That this Grandstanding and fear tactics are what has been “dividing” people and that his webpage/form, along with other bills they continue to introduce are the problem. I also reminded him that children aren’t racist, homophobic, (should have included religious) until adults teach them these things.
I’m sure my message will get lost in the memes but it made me feel better.
And just when I thought my state couldn’t get much worse, we’re wasting time and taxpayer money for witch hunts.

Just as the Salem Founders intended
