  1. When we start listening to the mentally disabled

  2. ❤ this kid! So bright and what a beautiful soul. Blows my mind his teacher didn't know about Stonewall. That "Don't Tread on Me" on display in his new classroom (he was moved to another history class after his presentation) is, again, Republicans pointing their finger with 3 pointing back at them. They are placing white nationalist propaganda in classrooms while accusing innocent LGBTQ+ and brown people of peddling to their kids. Shameful!

  3. This is what the media wants 🌈🌈🌈

  4. As an educator, I am so proud of you for doing this! It’s always a positive step to teach others what they need to know. Stonewall is a need to know part of history.

  5. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of you in the future Will! Good job!🌈🌈🌈

  6. That is the most important lesson, how are we as a society suppose to educate our youth, historic events that shaped our society today if today's politician's want to make education a political agenda and not what education is and should be, making our youth better informed adults

  7. G. O. P. 👃🏼👃🏼❄️❄️🍭

  8. No way my kid is in that class. Not a chance.

  9. I think you are AMAZING!!!!!

  10. SORRY SIN IS SIN NOOOOOOO UNCLEAN CAN'T SEE HEAVEN REPENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

  11. OMG this is exactly what the GOP doesn't want. Celebrity LGBTQ students!

  12. NBC is Marxist cancer. For God's sake people!!

  13. As a former teacher, I'd have given you an A+ on your teaching a valuable lesson to the class and teacher. You go girl. I like that you got dressed up to do it too. You should always look your best when giving a presentation. I wish you the best in life, my dear.

  14. if Ukrainians are fighting and giving their lives for freedom and democracy standing up for human rights here in the USA should be a standard here in America 🇺🇸.

  15. Abuse is a very big society problem. It was in 1969 and it is 2022 and it is still a very big problem. In all it's forms, verbal, mental, emotional, physical. Be kind to others.

  25. Well good for you girl I have your back 100% And I am an adult and if I find out they're trolling you I'm coming for them. They failed to realize that it is the information age and they can be found. And when you can be found you can be dealt with.

  26. 1,265 people just got Leguizamo'd…Young people are all in to the discussion, old people be like "ahhhhh dammit i got Leguizamo'd". If you don't get the reference, cool, but don't be upset because you don't know what i'm talking about.
