(Des Moines, IA) — Governor Kim Reynolds says she’ll continue to push to give taxpayer support to parents who send their children to private schools. During a speech at the Iowa G-O-P’s state convention this weekend, Reynolds aired a litany of complaints about public schools, including “Drag shows for young kids, pornographic books in school libraries,” and “elementary school lessons on pronouns.” Reynolds said it has to stop and her administration is going to make sure that every parent has a choice in their child’s education. The group One Iowa Action issued a statement a few hours later, saying the governor’s remarks were inflammatory and targeted L-G-T-B-Q youth. The Iowa Democratic Party will hold its state convention Saturday in Des Moines.
