When it comes to wearing masks, encouraging students to learn about all aspects of our nation\u2019s history, or protecting students who identify as gay or trans, it is clear my Republican colleagues\u2019 reaction with rage, rather than reconciliation, has no end. This divisive discourse needs to stop.<br \/><br \/>\u201cLet me be clear: nothing about these issues is \u2018harmful,\u2019 despite the fact that this word is used in the language of the resolution to justify why it was created. This is nothing more than another piece of legislation that chases lies and pretends to boast about \u2018protecting kids and parents\u2019 when the reality is that it only further drives a wedge and fosters greater division on issues that should not be political to begin with.<br \/><br \/>\u201cWhat would be a more effective and efficient use of everyone\u2019s time, however, would be if we worked on legislation that was based in reality for problems that truly exist.\u201d<br \/><br \/>School employees and school board members&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MISenDems\/status\/1455573157448929290?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">across Michigan are increasingly being targeted<\/a>&nbsp;by parents dissatisfied with existing school policies.
