Controversial riders threaten Kentucky student voice bill
"A bill that would give Kentucky students a voice in selecting school system superintendents has hit a snag. On Monday, Kentucky senators tacked on two controversial amendments — one relating to which school bathrooms transgender students may use, the other protecting religious speech at school — that the students say are likely to doom their effort.
“We really do have bipartisan support, it’s just these amendments don’t have bipartisan support, and they have nothing to do with our bill,” said Eliza Jane Schaeffer, a 16-year-old junior at Henry Clay High School in Lexington."
It seems the "professionals" cannot out debate school kids.
This legislature should be ashamed of their antics.
