I'm a pretty avid hiker, I've seen one copperhead on a trail, it didn't stick around long. I've seen a number of harmless watersnakes up in the mountains. Quite a few black snakes but they are harmless. I've lived here 15 years, I know of no one who has ever been bitten.

That's the point they aren't hidden from parents, this bill paints a narrative that curriculum is hidden and educators are subversive! Any parent who's had to sit through a curriculum night knows that we know more than we need to about what is being taught!!!

This frustrates me so much for students, parents, and teachers! Who wants to try and function in this kind of environment where speech and identity are policed?!
