Adams (D-NC-12) 03/09/2023: Twitter thread – “Yesterday, during a marathon meeting of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, MAGA Trump Republicans voted to ban books in schools, put guns in your child's classroom, keep lead pipes in schools, and allow schools to censor teaching of the Holocaust. 🧵 Despite it being #WomensHistoryMonth, they voted to allow schools to censor women's history and went as far as voting to allow schools to monitor your daughter's menstrual cycles. I voted NO. As a 40 year-educator at @BennettCollege, an #HBCU for women, I can tell you two of the keys to a good education are knowledge and understanding. These values are anathema to demagogues and people using hate to divide us. Unfortunately, some of my colleagues spent all day voting against understanding #trans and #LGBTQ students, instead targeting them in a culture war that does real harm to our children and damage to our schools.

Lee (R-UT) 03/09/2023: Twitter thread – “1. We don't need TSA. We could shut it down and allow each airport to hire a qualified passenger-screening contractor, as some airports (like SFO) already do under existing law. ANTISEMITISM AT JFK: Sen. Ted Cruz Demands Answers From TSA Over Numerous Incidents - The Yeshiva World 2. We'd all be better off without TSA's rudeness, inefficiency, antisemitism, and groping. 3. While there are countless people at TSA who sincerely try to make the airport experience as easy as possible, there are also many who don't, and seem determined to achieve the opposite outcome. 4. While third-party passenger-screening companies undoubtedly have some rude and otherwise unhelpful people on their payrolls, it's infinitely easier for a private company to fire bad workers than it is for the federal government. 5. By the same token, airports that receive complaints about their private security screeners could always hire another company. 6. Although any airport could use qualified, non-TSA screeners, the federal government makes it needlessly difficult to do so, effectively perpetuating the virtual monopoly TSA has in the airport passenger-screening industry. 7. Have you or members of your immediate family ever been groped by TSA—in a way you considered needlessly intrusive or excessive? Link to reply@BasedMikeLee Unfortunately that's how the 9/11 people got through in the first place. What the airports/carriers Will do is take the lowest bid security, just like they did back then. @JohnnyReno That's not why. The substantive screening standards were different. So too were the pilot and flight-crew protocols. Those changed immediately. We didn't need TSA to do that.”
