And for that, the board censured you, stripped your committee assignments, adopted a written gag rule, and silenced an elected official from speaking freely to the public she represents. They silenced an elected official for telling the truth. That's exactly what I'm running against. Across the state in Rockford, school officials secretly encouraged a young girl to adopt male identity without ever telling her parents. That family had to hire a lawyer just to get answers because the school decided it knew better than them. I have three sons. I think about families like that each and every single day. (01:25–01:32)
