Now they want to ban dress up in Texas schools
from Standing Room Only · host Salon.com, Amanda Marcotte and Imara Jones of TransLash Media
What's wrong with a kid wearing cat ears or roaring like a lion at playtime? Texas Republicans and Gov. Greg Abbott don't like it and they have a plan to ban dress-up and other "non-human behavior" in schools. In this episode of Standing Room Only, Amanda details how a logic-defying culture war about litter boxes turned into a real bill aimed at forbidding kids from playing pretend at school. For the Pass the Mic segment, Imara Jones, journalist and CEO of TransLash Media, provides more context on why it's happening and how to make it stop.
