Julie Bisgaard provided remark on comments made earlier this week by Councilman Travis Holleman in relation to the LGBTQ+ area.
I’m responding to Councilman Travis Holleman’s most recent town magazine, which was posted on Rumble on March 3. He was addressing the issue of college discounts. He claims in this movie that he “backs tickets because the LGBTQ plan is communist and that the Communist public colleges want to empower kids.” He continues to make references to The Communist Manifesto by picking out words and saying at one place that he is still digesting the text.
I’m a former public school teacher who is an alliance for the LGBTQ community and our common schools.
The Tennessee Equality Project’s city chairman is located in Montgomery County. Through parliamentary advocacy, TEP proponents for the rights of LGBTQ people in Tennessee. We entrance local institutions and the Tennessee General Assembly. Additionally, the TEP Foundation offers a range of education courses. Holleman’s claims were false, insulting and derogatory. Mr. Holleman should be aware that some of our kids will have Gay parents, that there are LGBTQ people on school staffs, and that some of our students will have Gay parents. In both his area and our metropolis, Mr. Holleman should also be aware that he has Gay residents. His picture highlights the need for a group like the Tennessee Equality Project. We will continue to advocate for, enlighten, and represent this frequently underrepresented group so that their voices can be heard. Our Gay people are valuable, valued and loved despite quite mistaken, cruel claims.
His remarks about” crazy Marxist liberals taking over school boards to force an LGBT plan” and” Marxist public colleges wanting to empower kids” offend both our hard-working teachers and our school boards. Additionally, it informs me that Mr. Holleman has n’t attended a recent institution. He ought to be aware that our public school teachers adhere to the requirements set forth by the condition and that they instruct every student who walks into the classroom.
It saddens me that a member of the Clarksville City Council makes these remarks about our kids and schools. In Mr. Holleman’s thoughts, his “newsletters are for everyone. We need to come along. We’re all Americans. This is our area”. I do n’t understand how this video could be unified. It’s incredibly upsetting that a city councillor is using his system to spread for polarizing ideas.
