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.
lots of them dont, but the kids still definetly do
Huntsville is actually a really cool area although you could argue it’s because the cool NASA stuff is there.
That’s the only reason. It’s still in the shit hole that is Alabama. Crap like this just proves it.
Same thing for most places with military bases, the only reason Dayton Ohio is even on the map is WPAFB.
How much does it cost to get in to see the . . . you know. winkwink
The aliens are a hoax, but there’s some other neat stuff. Graffiti from nazi POWs at one point, whatever the museums got going on, underground tunnels that totally don’t lead to underground hangers, etc.
Well, it’s also the birthplace of aviation, but whatever.
