Supporting people is lawful.
Whether the laws he passes are legitimate, up for debate.
His EOs aren't laws. That takes Congress.
What
The
Actual
Fuck?
By supporting they mean what? Calling the kid the name they want to be called by?
They don't necessarily need to explicitly teach gender and racial studies, whatever. But don't tell my kids' teachers they can't be courteous to the kids. The kids don't care one bit when someone who was a girl comes back saying they are a boy, they are nonchalant as fuck about it.
You have lost this round, conservatives. The generation who will raise the next generation is already grown up with more reasonable teaching and parents who model tolerance, there are too many of us for you to be able to control us.
Go back to your lairs and work on some other evil plan.
They dont wanna go after todays kids, they want the next generation. One decade of control, and they can raise Gen Beta in the bigoted pseudo50s hellacape they always dreamed of
“No transgender, no operations—you know, they take your kid—there are some places, your boy leaves for school, comes back a girl. Okay? Without parental consent.” He added, “At first, when I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it’s an exaggeration. No: it happens. It happens. There are areas where it happens.”
Gotta wonder if he's manufacturing reality or if he's also caught up in a manufactured reality.
It's definitely both.
He's a conman by nature, not by intelligence.
He inherently knows he has to manufacture lies to get what he wants, but he's very clearly not an actually intelligent person and you can clearly tell sometimes that he's 100% bought into some conspiracy theories, the same way any dumb person would. The guy's brain is mostly fried, but the conman in his nature is still there. Will be until he's 6 feet under.
I can't believe there's a single person who believes that children are being snuck into hospitals to just have a quick 20,000 dollar surgery that takes months to fully recover from during lunch and sneaking them home without anyone noticing
If they had critical thinking skills, we wouldn't have Trump as president.
He knows his out is now "I saw it on TV"
They already made women second class citizens. Now they're moving on to vulnerable minorities.
Sound like any other examples from history?
I'd say the alarms have started going off, but they've been going off for quite some time now. Deaf and dumb Americans as a whole can't hear them though.
Let's play the "replace the group with jews and see if they sound like a Nazi"
Trump tells DOJ to proescute teachers who unlawfully support jewish students.
Eyup
Fascism isn't coming.
It's already here.
Dipshit Donnie, your executive orders are not laws. They also only apply to federal government. As far as I know, we don't have federal schools except for the armed forces academies.
They'll probably end up making federal aid contingent on being assholes. Just like how Reagan coerced the states into 21 year old drinking age by withholding highway funds.
It works like this:
While EOs are not laws, they have the potential to do massive amounts of damage because most of the government runs on agencies under control of the Executive. And while universities and public schools are not federal, they receive shit tons of funds through grants, contracts, and subsidies from a wide array of federal agencies (see: academic panic at the NSF and NIH halting grant review and funding as a result of Trump’s recent orders).
We're deciding right now how much power Executive Orders have.
It had strict definitions for its use, now the president is trying to stretch that power further.
How many people comply without being physcially forced is what determines how much power he truely has.
How many people comply without being physically forced is what determines how much power he truly has.
That’s why the reduction of protections for federal employees was so important to implementing this phase. A lot of people have already been fired or reassigned which makes it really difficult for them to “do” anything.
The ones they're trying to get to resign can't be fired due to unions and they know it
How many people comply without being physcially forced is what determines how much power he truely has.
Bingo.
So far America appears to be overflowing with pussies who are willing to bend the knee to an anti-democratic felon rapist.
Our ancestors are weeping.
That is exactly what I was saying how Reagan coerced states to raise drinking age.
Hey acceleratiionists and people who Harris "wasn't good enough" for, remember that you could've helped stop this shit before it even happened. Now people are going to suffer and die under this regime that you helped bring to power
Them: Don't care, at least my eggs are cheaper...wait
Them: Don't care, I showed America that their two party system sucks...wait
Then: Don't care, voting doesn't matter anyway...wait
Those people are far too stupid to grasp the mistake they made.
Ignorance truly is bliss.
Until you're thrown in an oven.
Surely this will finally rein in the price of eggs.
I'll never forgive the people who worked to put this fascist in power again.
Or the people who sat at home and let it happen.
I blame them most of all. They saw what was at stake and still demanded perfection on every issue, nitpicked, sowed division, and acted like we were having a totally different election where "not Trump" was an actual entry on the ballot (it wasn't).
At least the Trump voters were honest about their intentions.
If we don't ban trans people, then Trump could end up mistakenly raping a dude, and we can't have that! What would he even grab them by?
Blatantly unconstitutional, and he knows it. But the point isn't to win on this issue, it's to move the Overton window a little more and to sow more chaos.
Being an educator in this day and age seems so difficult, we are taught all the studies and theories of healthy child development, how to promote healthy social emotional learning, but we must fight parents and increasely the law to maintain a safe, healthy social environmental layer.
Good educators are already beaten down from so many things and have become rare, but I know most of my colleagues and friends have no intention of bending knee to this and policies aimed at hurting students we fight for, and I desperately hope this sentiment is shared by many across our country.

I'll leave this here...from 3 days ago: Teacher asks ICE to raid his school, says many students 'don't even speak English'
There's just no words for this level of evil.
The book burning and internet crackdown will surely start soon. Kiss the first amendment goodbye.
This really is reminiscent of early Nazi Germany, with an obsession over trans people (like Jews), and the idea that they're the root of so much evil, and the constant implication that things would be better if they just go away...
The Nazis didn't start by rounding up the Jews, they started with the "sexual deviants". The parallel is a lot closer than you think.
In the executive order issued Wednesday evening, titled “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 schooling,” Trump directs the attorney general to work with local and state officials to investigate teachers who “unlawfully facilitat[e] the social transition of a minor student.” The order defines “social transitioning” to include using a trans student’s name and pronouns, recognizing a student as nonbinary, or allowing them to use the restroom that aligns with their gender identity.
Ordinary people are going to have to start accepting the risk and actually fighting back. They're a week and a half in, and already ordering Americans not to even recognise the existence of trans and nonbinary children, on threat of prosecution. It's not just about denying them healthcare now (which in itself is terrible), it's about preventing trans kids knowing anyone even sees them for who they are, or that they are seen and loved. The only outcome will be depression, loneliness and suicide, and Republicans want your kids dead if they don't fit some very narrow mold they've pulled out of their own violent insecurities.
People need to fight now. Each day people lie low and wait to see where this is going, the chances of ever fighting back get slimmer.
What the fuck does it even mean to “support” students? Jesus fucking Christ, I am so sick of the republican traitor filth.
