1. Good god! We need this woman.

[Biophilic]

2. Awesome woman. Well worth the time to hear her.

Makes me smile knowing someone is saying these things to people in power. I'd probably follow her any where.

[BComplex]

3. I'm really glad to see Democrats in every state hall raising hell!

It's about time!

4. This woman is amazing. Her words are truth on fire.

Here's the YouTube version. Turn on closed captions if you need them; they are available. Stevenson asks two questions, and her comments start at the one minute mark. Take a second to listen. Rep. Pamela Stevenson gets an A+ for these remarks. Good on Kentucky for electing her. More representation like this is desperately needed all over the country.

15. Since I do not know this bill, I went to a local paper

https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/ky-general-assembly/2022/02/07/kentucky-parents-rights-bill-raises-alarm-impact-child-abuse/6663445001/

And I learned this... {these are my comments}

snip-"A proposed law to protect parents' rights in Kentucky is raising alarm among critics who say it could upend efforts to protect children from abuse and neglect, interfere with education and lead to more lawsuits with the state liable for costs."

snip-"Sen. Stephen West, R-Paris, said his Senate Bill 40 is meant to ensure parents rights are "highly protected" from governmental intrusion, though he acknowledged he was not aware of any significant problems in Kentucky."{anyone surprised that a gop-er is doing this?}


snip-" The bill comes amid a proliferation of parents' rights legislation in other states, including Florida and Texas, and federal legislation introduced by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., whose “Parents’ Bill of Rights" is meant to give parents more control over public school curriculum."

{Ahhh, here we go}


snip-" In a joint letter to the Senate committee, the ACLU and Fairness Campaign warned the bill could "tie officials' hands" in enforcing child protection laws and give parents broad authority to block school curriculum "they find objectionable" such as the topic of the Holocaust."


More at source, no paywall when I looked.

16. Pamela Stevenson is running for AG, let's hope she wins

KY could use common sense thinking and not reactionary emotional thinking.
