Texas GOP candidate @ShelleyLuther complains that students can’t make fun of transgender children: "I couldn’t have kids laugh at them." My story from Bonham, TX #txlege 1/ houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
Catapulted into political stardom after being jailed for defying a pandemic lockdown order, @ShelleyLuther, a former teacher, told Republican voters in northeast Texas Saturday: "I'm not comfortable with the transgenders." #txlege 2/
The CEO of @EqualityTexas, reacting to comments from @ShelleyLuther, said: "Lamenting not being able to allow students to laugh at, bully and harass transgender kids isn’t leadership, it’s cruelty plain and simple.” #txlege 3/
Responding to me via email, @ShelleyLuther claimed it became hard to teach because “the topic of gender transition became the top discussion every day in my classroom.” But, she added, "Bullying is never acceptable, and did not occur.” #txlege 4/
At the end of her email to me, @ShelleyLuther wrote: "Do not contact me ever again. You are a horrific person and exactly why the media is portrayed as fake and evil. Any contact after this email will be considered harassment." #txlege 5/ houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
