I doubt I'll be the only Jewish person here who grew up in the U.S. in the 80s and 90s that faced a shit ton of antisemitic bullying which the school administration did dick about and never once heard a Republican say a damn thing.

Can't imagine what the reason could possibly be that they suddenly claim they care...

Karla Silvestre, president of Montgomery county public schools in Maryland – which includes schools in suburbs near Washington – said no teacher had been fired, prompting Bean to retort: “So you allow them to continue to teach hate?”

Ah Republican Bean trying to conflate everything.

"I will offer my colleagues on the other side of the aisle the opportunity to condemn these previous comments,” Bonamici said. “ Does anyone have the courage to stand up against this?”

See, that's the problem. She asked them if they had any courage to stand up against it.

Now, if she would have asked them to fold like a cheap lawn chair in cowardice, those republican fuckers would have became goddamn transformers on the spot.
