I have Republican friends sending this and similar articles around either stating again how flaky and pandering Democrats are, and unfortunately there are a few who are not very accepting of the trans community, and that’s more mean spirited, but mostly it’s just the flaky.
I can’t blame them for scooping this up as flaky. Any Democrat I elect I expect to be able to hire an Education Secretary who will be sensitive to all minority groups, and help create environments where all children feel safe to attend, accepted, and equal opportunities for a good education.
I do think this sort of pandering hurts Democrats, because it makes some Republicans and Independents shake their heads and trust us less to be adults and leaders.
If she wants someone trans to be part of her screening process then it’s not so terrible, but I just find it an annoying campaign promise.
