OPINION: Jamaica Plain, Cambridge, Stoughton, Newton, Wellesley: those are just some of the places where adults are targeting kids of color and those who identify as LGBTQI. Safety only exists if we actively fight for its existence, writes Neema Avashia.

on the legislative agenda this year. I grew up Indian in a community where there were very few people of color; and queer at a time where there was little language, and no visible modeling, of what it meant to be queer. I grew up in a context where my identity was largely rendered invisible through silence.

It is on the Southwest Corridor in Jamaica Plain, where a man screamed that my partner and I were “f------ faggots.”, as he appeared to be clearly in the midst of a mental health crisis., where the superintendent has banned teachers from decorating their classrooms in ways that affirm the identities of all students. It’s erasure masquerading as neutrality.

This is not the world I want for my child. In fact, none of us should want a world where erasure and violence are the banner items on a political party’s agenda, and its leaders provide sanction for brutality. Our children deserve a world, and a narrative, where they all are the beneficiaries of care and respect and love, no matter their identity.

AvashiaNeema A group in my MA town is trying to place Christian flags in a community center. Not for religious reasons but as an act of hatred against the rainbow stickers currently posted. Stickers meant to welcome all to a safe place

Are they targeting them, truly, or are they promoting living in reality and protecting children who are not old enough to meaningfully consent?

Wellesley = white, rich, conservative racists.

But as he is well aware, bits and pieces don't get actual convictions. Just another way of saying they don't have anything, as per usual. And there aren't any ethical problems with a prosecutor examining potential evidence, not charging someone, then going in the news and discussing it as though the person is guilty in a non-confidential manner? But they won’t.
