A awake teacher raged about turning Donald Trump on transgender and dei programs during a hearing of the Washington State House of Representatives Committee.
Tracy Castro-Gill, 49, the former leader of the Ethnic Studies Program of the Seattle Public School District, took the stage on Thursday in a house committee for the public hearing of education to complain about Trump's measures.
'My name is Dr. Tracy Castro-Gill, my pronouns are they/them. I am a disabled queer chicanx educator and learned in the state of Washington with my expertise in the field of curriculum and instruction, “Castro-Gill said in her long-winded tirade.
'These were markers who were recently made illegal in the federal government. However, my presence and humanity are unlike that legislation.
“I want to remind us that George Orwell in his novel 1984 warned us to limit how we can define ourselves and our experiences and how that makes fascism possible to root.”

The president made the issue of the genitals of his campaign and argued that it was in the field of common sense.
“From today, it will now be the official policy of the United States that there are only two sexes, male and female,” Trump said last week during his inaugural speech.

The chairman, representative Sharon Tomiko Santos, interrupted Castro-Gill's anger to remind the teacher to stay on the subject with the hearing of HB 1296.
The aim of the bill is to promote a safe and supporting school system by tackling student rights, parental/guardian rights, protection of employees and requirements for national and local school districts, “according to the Center Square.
Castro-Gill said they would support the bill if they were changed with extra protection of teachers.
“The fact that teachers have been in the gorge and are the primary goals is the reason why I pro testify because of the protection for educators,” the teacher said.
“Educators, as we have heard of students, are often the people who promote the identity and development of students and are currently the target and are pushed out of their positions because of this fact.”
Castro-Gill called the Republican Rep. Joel Mentire during their tirade for asking if the bill was in line with the orders of Trump.
“I also teach at the University of Washington and hear the curriculum violence and damage and how they are erased in their K-12 programs, just like me and other gender-expansive people were deleted by representative MRTIRE in this room today,” said The teacher.
Santos reprimanded Castro-Gill again and said: 'Excuse me, ma'am, we have not disputed members. Go carefully. '
