1️⃣ New Hampshire: The Board of Education voteds to allow extreme conservative curriculum in public schools In New Hampshire, state officials approved the inclusion of a controversial curriculum for public schools. The curriculum is made by PragerU, an overtly conservative advocacy organization that promotes right-wing viewpoints on various political, economic, and sociological topics → 2️⃣ Michigan: A sitting GOP representative's history of threatening others with gun violence was brought to light In Michigan, amid Democrat's ongoing fight for gun safety, the disturbing history of the House Minority leader has resurfaced. As a student, he sent emails threatening others with gun violence, alarming members and private citizens alike → 3️⃣ Missouri: Republicans threaten to burn books and call it "fun" In Missouri, following a flamethrower demonstration at what Republicans called a "Freedom Fest," GOP state Sen. Bill Eigel said he would attack the woke liberal agenda and burn books if he had to. This rhetoric is dangerous, and a clear threat to our democratic ideals → 4️⃣ Court Watch: The U.S. Supreme Court refused to revive Alabama's GOP-drawn Congressional map Following national criticism of Republicans' unfair maps and partisan gerrymandering, this ruling is a win for voting rights and equal access to the ballot for the state of Alabama, just one of many states facing pressure from Democrats to get rid of biased Republican-drawn congressional maps → 🎉 Celebrate: Two key special election victories Democrats won two key special elections,flipping a must-win seat in New Hampshire and defending a tie-breaking seat in Pennsylvania!
