What republican politicians are actually concerned about. And it ain't people.

[BillyCarpenter]

Are you aware that everything you just posted is absolutely bullshit? Now you're just pushing the republican narrative of fear. They have to scare their base with made up boogeymen in order to keep them in line and constantly afraid.

You showed up right on time. You're the perfect example of a dumb liberal that has no idea of how things work. You're a google warrior. Nothing more, nothing less.

All you do is read some article about a liberal bill that was introduced and have no idea what's actually in there.


FYI:

Policy Riders


The trick with must-pass bills is members of Congress (MoCs) can use them as an opportunity to attach policy changes, even if those policies would be difficult to pass on their own. The thinking is, if members can manage to get their policy priority into the must-pass bill, other MoCs will have to support it because they want to avoid a shutdown. These are called policy riders—because they “ride” on top of a must-pass bill. And, because the president lacks line-item veto authority (meaning they can’t selectively veto parts of a bill; they have to sign or veto the entire bill), they must sign the appropriations bill as-is, which means policy riders have a high likelihood of becoming law. Policy riders tend to be controversial.


So when we talk about riders, we’re talking about “strings attached” to appropriations bills that must become law. Typically, we see riders in two forms. In the most typical form, Congress includes riders that limit the use of funds appropriated, effectively steering the executive branch in their preferred direction.

By the way, copier addict's favorite dirty tactic is to claim that republicans are try to scare you.

Examples of that he's said in the past.


BLM is peaceful....republicans are trying to scare you.

Antfia doesn't exist....republicans are trying to scare you.

Inflation is temporary....republicans are trying to scare you.

High gas prices are understandable....republicans are trying to scare you.

There's no problem with illegal immigrants....republicans are trying to scare you.


Yes, he's actually said all of that.

Another dumb liberal. You don't disagree with what I said about a "rider", you just wanted to point out that I used google. That's true, I did use google.

However, I knew how it worked before I googled the article. That was only to educate you dumb liberals.

BTW: You know Biden has shit the bed. This country is falling apart and yet you blindly support Biden. Good job, libby.

Seriously? You actually believe I was disputing riders on bills? I was disputing the "showing pornography to children" bullshit. But you already knew that but couldn't pass up an opportunity to deflect

If I can show you an example of showing porn to kids, will you stop posting in the political forum?

[copier addict]

Is it a case of state of federally mandated showing pornography to children?

[BillyCarpenter]

There that boy goes again. Trying to weasel your way out of a bet. Liberals have put porn in schools and little kids are exposed to it. That's a fact, jack.


I know that you won't take the bet.

No, it's a lie, Cy.

No, it's a lie, Cy.

No, the truth is that you're a defender of child pornography. That has been well documented.

Here's where you say that republicans are trying to scare us. LOL

Democrat Candidate for Texas House Defends Pornographic Content in Tyler ISD
Cody Grace, a Democrat candidate for Texas House District 6, defended pornography in Tyler ISD while calling concerned parents “extremist.”



An undeniable trend continues sweeping school districts across the country. From Loudoun County, Virginia, to Leander, Texas, parents have begun taking a closer look at the curriculum and material presented to their children within the classroom. The revelations arising from these inquiries have led many parents to take action.


The list of Texas school districts where parents are exposing the harmful content made available to their children continues to grow. Hidden within a seemingly safe environment designed for education, concerned parents in Keller, Waller, and now Tyler ISD have discovered material in school libraries containing pornographic instances of sexual intercourse. Content written specifically for young readers, tainted with pornographic imagery and illustrations, is readily available to students across Texas.


Outrage following the discovery of pornography in Keller ISD libraries prompted Gov. Greg Abbott to write a letter to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), asking for guidance going forward. However, Abbott’s request for a process that “includes parents” and is “transparent” has no timeline for implementation. As a result, parents and grassroots organizations have taken matters into their own hands.


This week, the Texas Freedom Coalition (TFC)—a group that describes itself as a “grassroots organization that stands for personal liberty—has brought continuous attention on social media to the presence of pornography within Tyler ISD. The group has documented numerous instances of books in Tyler schools depicting graphic, sexually explicit, and even pedophilic content to Texas students.


However, Cody Grace, a Democrat running against State Rep. Matt Schaefer (R–Tyler) for Texas House District 6, condemned the Texas Freedom Coalition and accused them of using “extremist rhetoric.”


A post on the Cody Grace for Texas House Facebook account reads:


There is a national phenomenon that is starting to hit us locally. Extremist rhetoric is attempting to influence our school board and making it harder for our teachers to do their jobs. This is making it harder for our kids to be successful and lowering our student outcomes.


Grace continued:


This week a group called Texas Freedom Coalition made a push to remove books from our school libraries. Our school system caved to this pressure and started to remove books from our school libraries.


TFC Director of Advocacy Sarah Fields responded with her own post. “Are you not running for office? I would think that YOU of ALL people would be for protecting children from sexually explicit material,” Fields stated. “Especially material that encourages pedophilia. One of the books very specifically discusses a ‘safe’ sexual scenario involving a grown man with a child.”


Texas Freedom Coalition has also launched an inquiry regarding a list of 17 books available in Tyler ISD campus libraries. At a school board meeting on Monday, numerous parents expressed their concern for the books in question.


Tyler ISD Superintendent Marty Crawford released a statement regarding those books:


Tyler ISD is aware of the Legislative committee and the Texas governor statewide inquiries concerning appropriateness of library curriculum materials. The board and district administration are in agreement with our community that resources, curriculum products and classroom instruction should be in alignment with local and public expectations.


In a Wednesday afternoon press release, the Texas Freedom Coalition reported that following the Monday school board meeting, two of the sexually explicit books have been removed from the library at Legacy High School.


House District 6 covers the bottom half of Smith County in East Texas and overlaps entirely with Texas Congressional District 1. Incumbent U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert recently announced an “exploratory campaign” to pursue the possibility of running for Texas attorney general.


Should the congressman vacate his seat to do so, it is possible that Schaefer may leave his House seat to run for Gohmert’s congressional seat. In this event, Sarah Fields is prepared to take on Democrat challenger Cody Grace herself.


“If Matt Schaefer decides that he will step away from District 6 to run for Congress and you try to slide in, I will run against you. We do not want someone who does not protect children to be a House Representative in the state of Texas.”
