Right wing idiots cancel teacher for "Bringing children to a gay bar."

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/florida-school-rosies-bar-and-grill-b1947320.html

A Fox News article that claimed an elementary school teacher had taken children to a “gay bar” for a field trip has seen her and her family threatened and abused online.

The right-wing outlet focused a story on a school board member who accompanied the children on an annual trip to LGBT+-friendly restaurant Rosie’s Bar and Grill in Florida, appearing to try to manufacture outrage about the trip.



The knee-jerk reaction to the article saw numerous commenters pointing out the visit was an annual event and a normal part of community outreach.

Lauren Boebert is a supremely stupid person. Also, how is this not cancel culture?
