Senator Bob Steinburg gets it wrong, fosters outrage

On February 26, at 3:11 PM, in a personal post on Senator Bob Steinburg’s personal Facebook page, he called to action the following;

“Folks- you better start getting involved in your local schools;  and schools- get back to what we are paying you to do- teaching our students academics! We will handle the social issues in our homes.”   He started his post off by stating a concerned grandparent called him upset, that his sixth grade grandson was asked by a teacher to play the part of a transgender in a school virtual teaching exercise.”

This assertion has since been investigated and found that no reference to sexuality or sexual orientation in the play by the Superintendent of Tyrrell County Public Schools.
