I oppose labeling programs with transgender or non-binary content because that's stigmatizing a minority group's existence in programs that do not contain mature levels of sex, violence, or language. This is tantamount to rating based on "political or religious content" because it's being suggested to serve particular political and religious viewpoints over others. Transgender and non-binary children would be harmed in particular by labeling depictions of themselves as a content warning for their own age group. Labeling should remain a politically neutral tool for families, not a line of political attack.

Hold everything They've got dictionaries in there!" [library in background] "I wrote it down 'T-R-O-U-B-A-D-O-U-R', troubadour -- we're back in our old jobs, Annie!"

July 22. -- The jury in the case of Neal and Cobb, the negroes on trial in this country for their lives for wrecking a freight train and causing the death of the fireman, has been hung since Saturday night, and is said to stand seven to six for conviction. The jurors are white. The evidence against the accused was strong. They were overheard by Mr. J.A. Fitzgerald, who, for purposes of his own, was concealed in the bushes at the time. Dick McCollum, a colored witness, said that the night after the wreck Neal came dancing into a negro cabin singing, "Put on the skillet put on the lead, mammy's going to bake short'ning bread," and that he cursed the negroes for sitting idle, when he had opened the way for them to make something. The judge ordered the jury to be held during the week. Some of the jurors have been heard to say that they would never hang a man on circumstantial evidence. ...[article continues off screen shot]
