This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

All the blue states need to band together and reject this. New York, California, Washington, Illinois, and Massachusetts lead the way. Protect schools, support teachers, defend students (especially trans students), and fund quality education. There is no compromise with this fascist bullshit.
