Lizzo promoting a bill co authored by a guy saying that teaching kids about racism is dangerous?
I know most celebs are very obvious, unironic "virtue signallers" (I hate that term, but I can't think of another term), but this is getting into comedic territory. Promoting a bill written by a racist "teaching the darn kids CRT is bad" guy.
I'm going to ascribe this to "she's a rube, not mal intentioned" but also bring up "a celebrity has people they employ that should be able to fully inform them of the consequences of the things they support, so I can't totally let them off the hook".
its the same thing with Jack Black (whoa, weird they appeared in the Mandalorian together) and his support for Autism Speaks. As much as I despise that org as an autistic, I think that Black means well by supporting them. But I also acknowledge that no celebrity can really be written off as a rube because they have way too much access to information.

I thought this was a bit holy shit
Strong bipartisan support AND called something like "The Protect Our Children Act." A bill like that is how they'll start throwing us into furnaces.
"the right wing party and the very right wing party both agree on this!"
