Idaho state senator displays deplorable behavior at Caldwell school board meeting Opinion

Newly elected Idaho state Sen. Chris Trakel, R-Idaho, displayed deplorable, belligerent behavior, yelled at volunteer school board members and tried to leverage his position as a state legislator to get his way at a Caldwell school board meeting this week.

As reported by Idaho Education News, an unruly audience volleyed insults and threats at Caldwell school board members on Monday night over a potential policy that, among other things, would allow students to use bathrooms and locker rooms aligning with their gender identity and protect students from being denied participation in overnight trips due to their sexual orientation.

The policy, which was derived from language recommended by the Idaho School Boards Association, also would require district staff to use a student’s preferred name and pronouns, protect students’ privacy in regards to personal information, such as sexual orientation and legal name, and protect the rights of same-sex couples to attend school activities, including dances, and prohibit general discrimination against those couples.

Unfortunately, board members were forced to adjourn early because of the unruly audience members. At least one board member laid the blame at the feet of Trakel.

The GOP always has their nose in others genitalia and they go after kids. And create problems where there are none.
