Maybe we should take these CRT bans and *add* some groups to them

Why stop at "race, color, sex, or national origin"?

Why not add "No individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, number of children one has, handedness, ability or disability, religion, the potential for being labeled a 'thug', height/weight (barring things like being able to access confined spaces), income level, access to healthcare, position in relation to the poverty line, housing situation, name, amount of hair one has on their head and/or body, the color and/or texture of that hair, race, color, sex, or national origin."?

I'm not being facetious here:

Why should ANY of these groups be made to feel discomfort? Why should ANY of these groups receive adverse treatment? Why should ANY of these groups feel psychological distress?

Now let's take Florida's CRT ban legislation for example and add MY proposal to it. And you might see we have a problem in America, but maybe we can fix it.

No individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, number of children one has, handedness, ability or disability, religion, the potential for being labeled a 'thug', height/weight (barring things like being able to access confined spaces), income level, access to healthcare, position in relation to the poverty line, housing situation, name, amount of hair one has on their head and/or body, the color and/or texture of that hair, race, color, sex, or national origin.


Make it go federal.
