Parents send their children to school to learn language arts, math, and science. They don’t expect angry school employees, political activists, and social justice warriors to have unabated access to their children’s minds, especially at their own (taxpayer) expense!
The bill known as HB122 is often referred to as the “Don’t say gay” bill by the agenda-driven Leftist press. However, the reality is that most reasonable people support Dodie Horton‘s legislation. This bill prohibits public school employees from encouraging children to experiment with the employee’s personal adult sexual proclivities. This measure is widely considered sensible by everyone but the press.
Nevertheless, some school employees are angry with this reasonable approach. One irate public school employee has asserted that if she is no longer permitted to discuss her personal adult sexual preferences with your children, it may result in lawsuits. Check it out.

Behind Every Blade of Grass
There’s a running joke around our office that Citizens for a New Louisiana is hiding behind every blade of grass. We’ve heard stories about government officials reconsidering questionable decisions because they were worried we’d find out. That’s a remarkable return on an investment we never made: "reaping where we did not sow, and gathering where we scattered no seed." But there’s something important in here, too.
Our little flashlight has earned us a reputation for bringing things to light. Now many officials act as if someone is watching, even when there isn't. That’s the real value of our government transparency work. It's more than just exposing wrongdoing after the fact. We've created an environment where public officials think twice.
Of course, we can’t actually be behind every blade of grass. There are thousands of public meetings, countless government transactions, and more questionable decisions than our small team could ever hope to investigate. But with your help, we can keep them wondering.
If you believe government works better when someone is paying attention, please consider supporting our work.
