My son is a neurophysiology expert, he avoids the term as it is meaningless medically. Sort of like, "Asperger's" became useless to psychologists per overuse.

Wow, so much tolerance from the liberals.

They only have tolerance for perspectives they agree with and everything they don't agree with they want banned.

What is hilarious is the school board members are "she, her, ella" and "he, his, him, el"

El. Valenzuela is promoting hate. Sad.

I'm still trying to figure out what "bilingual neurodivergent Black Latina" has to do with the issue.

Just another pushback. It’s going to keep happening with the Repubs religious right censorship goals.

It helps to establish their position in the hierarchy of woke.

They have a different brain and can speak 2 languages. No clue how important that is today in society.

It’s important and necessary in a lot of places. Like cities.

People totally ignore school board elections, this is a prime example of why that is so incredibly short sighted.
True to an extent, but, at least around here, school board and local council races are always held on odd days and times of the year. It really limits who votes in these things. It's almost as if it were intentionally designed to keep the same power blocks in place. I think I've mentioned elsewhere it took almost the entire time my kids were in school to get rid of a couple of board members and get some new blood in place. Some of the board seats have been held by generations of the same family.

In a recent local court case, a council member had to show their income sources. Basically, no income other than the council stipend, but owned a home in one of the ritzy parts of town.

Things that make you go hmmm.
