PA GOP Plays God; Activist Arrested for Sidewalk Chalk; School Sports Equity Disclosure Repeal Vote
This is a video from my new show, Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In this video, Counterpoint PA's homage to the Keith Olbermann: the Worst Pennsylvanians of the Week, I talk about how an anti-equal rights conservative PA Republican state representative who blocked a Democratic state rep. from speaking on the PA House floor about the US Supreme Court striking down the federal-marriage-equality-banning Defense of Marriage Act because he was worried about "open rebellion against god's law" should keep reading the Bible till he gets to the parts about being judgmental and foolish, a police officer who apparently isn't familiar with the US Constitution arresting a health care activist for writing in chalk on the sidewalk in peaceful protest, and a PA House Education Committee vote on repealing parts of a law passed last year that mandates each school district disclose each year whether their sports programs are in compliance with state and federal gender anti-discrimination laws so that people know if girls have the same athletic opportunities as boys in their local schools.
