Julie Bisgaard provided criticism on comments made by Councilman Travis Holleman earlier this week in relation to the LGBTQ+ area.
Councilman Travis Holleman’s most recent town email, released on Rumble on March 3, has received my response. He was addressing the issue of tickets for classes. He claims in this movie that he “backs tickets because the LGBTQ plan is communist and that the Socialist 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.
As a former public school teacher and alliance, I will often fight for the LGBTQ community and our public schools.
The Tennessee Equality Project around in Montgomery County is my city chairman. Through congressional advocacy, TEP proponents for the rights of LGBTQ people in Tennessee. We hall local and state governments in Tennessee. Additionally, the TEP Foundation offers a range of education courses. Holleman’s claims were false, insulting and insulting. Mr. Holleman should be aware that some of our kids may have Gay parents, that there are LGBTQ people on school staffs, and that some of our students will have LGBTQ parents. Additionally, Mr. Holleman needs to acknowledge that there are LGBTQ people in both our town and his city. His picture highlights the need for a group like the Tennessee Equality Project. We will continue to advocate for, teach, 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 the” mad Marxist leftists taking over school board to drive an LGBT agenda” and the” Communist public schools wanting to indoctrinate kids” offend both our hard-working teachers and our school board. 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 in the door.
It saddens me that a member of the Clarksville City Council makes these remarks about our kids and institutions. In Mr. Holleman’s thoughts, his “newsletters are for everyone. We need to come up. We’re all Americans. This is our town”. I do n’t understand how this video could bring people together. It’s incredibly upsetting that a city councillor is using his system to spread for polarizing ideas.
