“'We don’t want that filth in our state,' an Oklahoma state senator said of LGBTQ students, who are being targeted by at least 50 Republican-supported bills in the legislature with full endorsement from the secretary of education.
Tom Woods, a Republican from far northeastern Oklahoma, made the comments two weeks after a nonbinary student who was being bullied at school died suddenly under mysterious circumstances."
"'We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state – we are a moral state,' Woods said."
@wdlindsy So moral and Christian are they that they did NOTHING when children were bullied to the point of DEATH in their school. I hope the teachers and administrators are brought up on manslaughter charges!
@CindyS Yes, I agree. And when someone calls other people — especially vulnerable minority communities — filth, I think to myself, "I'd look in the mirror as I uttered those ugly words."
