Across the country, we\u2019re seeing Republican leaders take actions to regulate what students can or cannot read, what they can or cannot learn, and most troubling, who they can or cannot be,\u201d Munoz added. \u201cThis is politics at its worse, cynically treating our students as pawns in a game and not people who deserve love and respect.
