State Superintendent Ryan Walters is calling for a regulation that would allow educators to be fired for “acts that excessively promote sexuality” outside of work.

Why should anyone care even if he was a swinger. It’s not like he’s bringing that shit to work

He just was doing drag, no indication of any particular sexual behavior. Not that that is the district's business, of course. Or that they would care if a wedge issue weren't involved.

This feels like the Briggs Initiative all over again. While I think legislation and official actions like this will join the Briggs Initiative in the hell they came from, it can't come soon enough. Gen Z, we're counting on you to turn the scales!

It's almost funny how quickly they flip-flop from demanding freedom to pulling this kind of shit

This almost certainly would invite a legitimate first amendment case if he'd been fired.

Not that Republicans actually care about free speech, but drag and clothing in general has consistently been ruled as speech under the first amendment.
