Regular schmegular girl from the hood.

In this episode of the Parent Advocate, Lizette Trujillo and Stephen Chukumba are joined by Tamilia Valenzuela, a bilingual, disabled, neurodivergent Queer Black Latina' and at-large member of the Washington Elementary School District, and talk cat ears, being doxxed, and her dream for educational opportunities for all kids. In today's topics, we discuss the tragic death of Nex Benedict, the hypocrisy of the Catholic church and its response to the funeral of Cecilia Gentili, and Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signing into law the ability to refuse to solemnize marriage. In this week's Allies & Assholes segment, we celebrate the solidarity of Paramore, who rejected the acknowledgment from Tennessee's racist Republican-controlled House for rejecting a similar resolution to acknowledge fellow Black Grammy award winner, Allison Russell. And we drag Oklahoma’s new Republican superintendent of public schools, Ryan Walters for appointing Chaya Raichik, the creator of Libs of TikTok to the state’s library advisory committee.
