They could also get sent to jail just for using the right name and pronouns for their trans students.
one of the poorest states in the country, lowest IQs, most health issues, you'd think they'd have more important things to discuss..
It's so bad I generally refuse to identify being from there. When anyone asks I just say I live in misery, with swaths of lead addled lunatics. Some think it's quaint, others understand.
Why do I get the feeling that the goal of this is more to dilute the meaning of the term sex offender, than it is anything else.
Weird how the party of sex offenders wants to ruin any meaning to the term sex offender.

The same applies to impeachment.
Which is why they were balls deep on russian cock and swallowing those thick and juicy lies, Until they found out the dick was from baddragon and the lies were a not-for-ingestion lotion.
Desperate to have any (imaginary) justification for the impeachment.
Well this is where it's headed. First it will be teachers, parents, doctors, therapists.
Then they'll want to register trans adults as sex offenders. Then all LGBTQ people.
Like so much of the government in the US, the infrastructure is there, ready to be abused. Change one line and it applies to all of us.
Anyone not realize just how awful it would be to get labeled a sex offender? It makes it almost impossible to find a place to live, or a job. People will seek you out and harass you in public. This is an extremely serious classification that shouldn't have anything to do with "culture wars". It should be reserved only for the worst classes of convicted criminals -- if it's not actually cruel and unusual and unnecessarily punative.
She died. But her daughters and sisters still live. But also could cis people actually defend us too. We can’t defend ourselves alone. Riot with us. Riot for us.
I love how everyone gets online and grumbles about this and then says I'm the crazy one for telling you to arm up. You have cheerfully ceded all violent power to the state and then can't understand why the state is turning on you. Sad. This was the entire point behind the citizen militia. Lots of other left-leaning countries have this. The US is fascist becuae it doesn't.
That won't make the sex offender registry functionally useless at all... /s
If you ever needed an example of how conservatives don't actually give a shit about preventing child predation...
You mean the conservatives constantly being caught being sex offenders and child predators?
Only if you believe that there's a difference between an active pedophile and gay couple or a trans person. Some these folks don't believe there is, and the one's that do believe there is probably see getting a bunch of liberal teachers declared sex offenders as a multi-front win. Removes even stealth support for those kids from school so they are truly alone, gets the teachers out of school so they aren't "indoctrinating" the kids with history and science, and it gives you "proof" that the left is full of the Jim Jordans and Matt Gaetzs too.
The party of gross, old sex-offenders really seem to want to water down the meaning of the list many of them are/should be on.
Right wing media lies nonstop without and repercussions; time to start wildly slandering the bill's sponsors in the press: cross-dressing pedophiles, busted in gay gangbangs, arrested for child porn, one of them is a trans male....go wild
Protect The Kids by Jailing Teachers who Protect The Kids! Also let's roll back Child Labor Laws!
Holyshit aren’t you guys very big on whatever the amendment that guarantees you free speech ? How’s this not a blatant violation of free speech ?
It is, this is ridiculous GOP headline-grabbing outrage bait but we live in stupid universe so I can't say with absolute certainty that it won't happen.
The point is to lose, so they can stoke some culture war bullshit about how free speech is dead, the government is too big, the judiciary is too woke, etc. And if it's allowed to stand, all the better.
This is an exercise in trying to build outrage before the elections, because they don't have an actual platform that involves making people's lives better.
Well they are very good in getting me triggered even though I’m 12000 km away and not concerned by those shenanigans. It’s soooo infuriating.
"whatever the amendment is". You clearly don't belong here discussing politics. Absolutely everyone is big on "whichever amendment that is".
What kinda bait is this supposed to be?
They could just not be from the United States. Idk how the Irish government works, so I figure the Irish don’t need to know how my government works.
Ugh, I can never find the rules for different groups and what not, and it may just be a violation of lemmy.world as a whole to advocate violence, but I am tired of everyone having to act civilized about a non civilized situation. We need to bring out the guillotines and we need to start taking heads. These are not bills to support the populace, they are bills to oppress and repress the people. They should be afraid. They should feel harassed, they shouldn't expect anything but paranoia.
I hope Missouri taxpayers like their state government spending their hard earned tax dollars on lawsuits for blatantly unconstitutional laws. Who needs infrastructure, or literally anything tangible when you can just spend more money on losing? Absolutely pathetic.
Sadly, far too many around us are. If it wasn't for family etc I'd definitely have no reason to be here over anywhere else. But I enjoy giving the GOP here hell and being some added voice for those with less options.
By “support”, do they mean treating them like human beings instead of mocking and deriding them?
