Today, Grain Valley, MO teachers were instructed to take “Safe Space” stickers off of their classroom doors. In 2011, I tried taking my own life because I was bullied for being gay while attending Grain Valley South Middle School. My parents moved me out of the district. (1/2)

Grain Valley is in Jackson County, Missouri. If elected, I’d be the first LGBTQ+ person elected to Jackson County and you can trust that I’m going to fight against anti-LGBTQ+ policies like this. 🏳️‍🌈 Donate to ensure that that happens: secure.actblue.com/donate/committ…

We can not allow bigotry and homophobia to have a platform at any level. I am so disappointed in our community, for Grain Valley Schools school board to make the decision to disallow teachers designating their classrooms as safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ is disgusting. Keep speaking up GV.

It’s like they want to be taken to the US Supreme Court and lose. Come on. Just be kind and understanding, people.

Proud parent & teacher! All our students deserve to feel safe at school and know that they matter! 🏳️‍🌈

From my head to my toes… I love ALL my students. #inclusivity #youmatter #love

These 15 books restore the urgency and excitement of history while highlighting the marginalized voices that have so often been written out of established curricula. ow.ly/Yf5p50IUj9k

Supporting my Grain Valley Schools friends today. I believe in the worth and dignity of every person. I can not and will not say I love my neighbor and then speak, act, or vote in a manner that will cause them harm. #inclusion #LGBTQ #respect
