Congratulations to the Vances and all of the happy warriors who packed the streets for the cause of Life.
ACCREDITING AGENCIES
Missouri banned DEI from state government, including public universities.
National accrediting agencies require DEI.

Accreditors are forcing it on Universities anyway.
SB 1192 closes the loophole by stopping accrediting agencies from requiring DEI that violates state law.
Accreditation should be about academics, not ideology. #MOLeg https://t.co/dtaDyKmFjY
SB 1192 fixes this loophole and protects our universities from backdoor DEI requirements.
JEREMY DEAN
Jeremy Dean is gross.
He sent obscene messages to a female colleague during a committee hearing, just because she disagreed with him on policy.
“In this building, we are not just co-workers, we are elected representatives of the people of Missouri. We are held to a higher standard, one that should exceed any corporate or private workplace,” said Dittmer Rep. Cecelie Williams. #moleg #mogov https://t.co/YE2S5mdwtf

Democrats should be ashamed to share a caucus room with this guy.
