The ableism of the right wing listen to the parents movement simply can’t be understated. When asked in CNN town hall last night about 6 year olds brandishing killing machines, @GlennYoungkin pivoted away from guns, straight to mental health. His mental health plan is a farce.
It’s a boondoggle for abusive mental health facilities, big money campaign donors, and more cops, because you know, all we need are more cops to work with disabled people. People w/mental health diagnoses are more likely to be victims of violence than perps of it. #itstheguns
Two children in Virginia brought their parents’ guns to school to shoot their teachers and this ableist POS is blaming that on mental health issues. That is what ableism looks like. They also fight vehemently against disability accommodations in schools, or equity and inclusion.
And guess what @GlennYoungkin, your pivot from kids being traumatized by the pandemic straight to more SROs in schools is criminalizing disability. 50% of those killed by cops in the US are disabled. We need less guns, not more cops.
