“This is about values,” Abbott said. “This is about constitutional principles. This is about a restoration of who we are as a country.”

The governor acknowledged that it is highly unlikely he would endorse a similar initiative for more progressive, left-leaning causes, but added that “it would not be illegal” for them to exist in public schools. Abbott signed Senate Bill 12 earlier this year, a sweeping state law that banned student clubs with an LGBTQ+ focus.

This is about turning public schools into glorified babysitting and indoctrination. If you want your kids to actually learn anything, you’re going to have to utilize your “voucher” to pay for a decent private school.

Private Schools are, themselves, often a nasty trap. Tons of add-on costs, underpaid staff, sketchy locations, and a nasty habit of not actually teaching you anything necessary for college admissions.

"This is about constitutional principals" 1. The second constitutional principal has been a pretty important one for TP this year. 2. Not sure that a GOP member is really in a great place to be talking about upholding constitutional principals rn.

This is about constitutional principals

I wonder if that will include separation of church and state

Just like the bible, they will cherry pick what works for their agenda.

What if you start an LGBTQ+ TPUSA club? Would their heads explode?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Wouldn't be the first time an organization that's ostensibly illegal undergoes a rebrand to deflect attention or persecution.

But that tends to work better when you're an in-group trying to stay on the DL than when you're a minority group trying to legitimize your own existence.

I mean, in a way, he's right. Bringing back the principles of our shitty forefathers, well, the ones that he likes. Inequality and bigotry, but not separation of church and state.
