California School Board President Calls Harvey Milk a 'Pedophile'

[icymist]

LGBTQ+ allies and activists in California are noticing troubling developments in a local school district as conservative concerns enter the public discourse in the blue state regarding teaching LGBTQ+ existence to children.

There was outrage last month when the Temecula Valley School Board voted to reject a social studies textbook that's teacher's material mentions Harvey Milk, the iconic California gay rights activist who was killed because of his civil service, Los Angeles ABC affiliate KABC reports.

The board’s president even falsely asserted that Milk was a sexual predator before voting to ban the text. The measure passed by a vote of 3-2.

4. This is what Putin does: accuse your

enemies of being pedophiles. Such an easy tactic.

Long past time to point to the real pedophiles in the evangelical movement and in the Catholic Church.

6. Pity we cannot make it an absolute requirement that one have, and use, a

fully-functioning brain in order to be on school boards, library boards, anything to do with education. Must pass basic reading and comprehension, civics and math tests at the very least.

Yes, I know. Completely unrealistic. Wouldn't it be nice? (okay, now I have the Beach Boys in my head!)

7. Sounds like the school board got infiltrated by Moms for Liberty candidates--the first rung on the

GOP ladder to dominate state government and institutions.

8. Harvey Milk died in 1978.

From his wiki is"Harvey Bernard Milk (May 22, 1930 – November 27, 1978) was an American politician and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors."
