He said that I was indoctrinating young people to hate America and hate white people. The Republican state representative saw me as an example of why public schools should be defunded. He had earlier called teachers “idiots” for their advocacy around Covid-19 protections. And speaking of the conspiracy to kidnap Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, he said, “I think it’s fine for politicians to feel pain, or be threatened with violence, whatever.” (I will leave him unnamed out of a desire to not boost his profile or draw him attention, since his actions have been well-documented in the press.)

What lovely people on that side.
