Republican Rep. Dale Strong called for Space Camp to remove a transgender employee after a viral social media post called the person a “freak.”
Three Republican Alabama officials are expressing concern that a transgender person is employed at Space Camp, an educational program for children held at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville.
One of the lawmakers is calling for the employee to be removed and for the center to “open a safety review to consider the potential harm and damages they have inadvertently caused children.”
The backlash began Saturday after Clay Yarbrough, a father who lives just outside of Huntsville in the small town of Owens Cross Roads, posted a screenshot of the LinkedIn profile and social media photos of a crew trainer at Space Camp on Facebook. Yarbrough said he had planned to send his daughter to Space Camp the following week, “but we have just found out that this freak is a team lead and a hall monitor in the girls dorms and at times could be allowed to be alone in the halls at night.”
The South doesn’t deserve all the cool NASA stuff.
We should send their children to a house of god to be sodomized by trusted leaders instead!
Poor person just trying to live their life and educate kids.
Fuck these bigots. I went to Space Camp as a kid and it was one of the most welcoming camp experiences of my life.
The goal was to have everyone come together and work as a team for our ‘shuttle mission’ above anything else.
I saw the Facebook comments of the guy who started all of this. It is nothing but hate and paranoia of Trans people.
According to a 2020 Supreme Court ruling, they’re literally violating the Civil Rights Act here.
Of course, endgame is probably to get a reroll because the Supreme Court is a joke now.
That man was never sending his kids to space camp. He just decided to doxx the only known trans person within 100 miles of his home.
Hopefully the organization doesn’t cave and backs their employee.
Anything other than backing the employee would be grounds for a discrimination lawsuit. They can’t claim public pressure made them fire them if the main reason was gender identity.
There might be a kid in danger in his house.
He’s definitely putting on a dress and fucking his kids. Every accusation is an admittance.
Just elected officials targeting a minority citizen for existing, singling her out to their violent, ignorant base. Nothing to see here, they’ll probably doxx her next, maybe shoot at her feet, try to take some upskirt photos, I dunno, we’ll have to wait and see what they do next. One things is for sure, the officials won’t be reprimanded or face consequences in any way!
So they’ve solved every significant problem for their citizens and now are inventing fake ones?
