'They school has an obligation to serve every student that comes into that building. The school has a responsibility to take care of every student that comes into that building. They're ignoring both of those charges!' Samira Ahmed updates

Transgender children exist and transgender children deserve to exist. The Kentucky State Legislature has voted to remove basic rights from members of the trans community, their parents, and their doctors.

Not once, in all of human history, have the people banning books and arresting librarians been on the same side as freedom and liberty.

A reminder that librarians and teachers are ALSO aunts, uncles, moms and dads, grandparents, sons and daughters and cousins. We are members of families and we care about our students' families, too.

Our message to Fayette County Public Schools students, staff, and families tonight is clear: we stand with our trans community. And we remain unwavering in our commitment to ensuring every child learns in a safe, supportive school community where they know they belong and are valued and loved. #kyga23

In the end what always haunts me about the #KyGA isn't that there weren't enough of us who stood; it's that KY Senate Majority and KY House Republicans just don't care. They refuse to see the real Kentucky, and in doing so threaten to destroy all that makes us great. #KyGA 23

I wish the legislature spent as much taxpayer funded time addressing housing as they do hyperfocusing on trans children. There are more homeless children in KY than trans kids. And yet #StopSB150

If you can't get to Frankfort, please call 1 800-372-7181 and speak out against hate in our state. Thank you Representative Cherlynn Stevenson and KY House Democrats for standing with ALL Kentuckians. #NoSB150

Please get there if you can. ALL students deserve our support.

Yesterday, I opposed a bill that will lead to banning books a minority of parents want out of high school libraries. Books that show many kids they're not alone.

We must stop underestimating kids and letting 'Moms for Liberty' undermine moms who are for fairness and inclusion.
