Wednesday, March 20, 2024 - Repubs address youth suicide by increasing pressure on kids most at-risk
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
A perfectly well-meaning bill introduced by freshman Rep. Omari Crawford passed out of the Georgia House and went into yesterday's Senate education subcommittee hearing, where five ultra-right wing measures - some explicitly anti-LGBTQIA+ - were attached to it. Hear Crawford present his bill, ask that only it be considered (it wouldn't be) and then hear Sen. Clint Dixon pile on the "red meat" that couldn't get out of Senate Rules committee already. All these GOP measures are backed by Lt. Governor Burt Jones - an announced gubernatorial candidate for the 2026 cycle, incidentally. Hear Senators Elena Parent and Sonya Halpern skewer this nonsense. Then I'm joined by Jeff Graham, executive director at Georgia Equality for reaction and their planned on-site response at the gold dome.
