Let’s not forget what Angela Lansbury did during the worst years of the AIDS epidemic - Rest in Peace, Nelly, Rose, Jessica, Mame, Mrs. Claus, etc. etc. You made many a gay man happy. Heck, I still imitate your version of 'Rose's Turn' from "Gypsy."
Protesters shut down Dearborn school board meeting over LGBTQ books - Just make folks irrationally fear something and watch the madness. It works every time.
Book bans spreading across Michigan: What's driving them - A very good and extensive article about this mania:
"Schools are political punching bags these days, and everybody thinks it's a great sport to attack schools, superintendents, teachers and school boards," Seebeck said. "And oftentimes, they do that without any real knowledge, or any real reason ... without first asking if any of those books are even in their school library, they show up at a school board meeting and they read excerpts from these books that are pre-printed, the parents never read the book, and probably wouldn't even know the book existed . . .In his 17 years as superintendent, Seebeck said this is the first time he's seen so many objections to literary content. He's also noticed a new mantra of parents wanting to "take back their schools." "I ask them, take it back from who? Who has it? Because your school, your school district is run by people who live in your community. I grew up in the town that I'm the school superintendent. ... Your school board is made up of people who have kids in the school district. Why would you take it from them?
