                IT IS TIME TO PUBLISH SHOOTER MANIFESTOS

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am going to address today a news story 
that has not received probably as much publicity as it should have. 
Nevertheless, it goes a little bit more to the wokization of all levels 
of government including local government, apparently including even 
what you would consider to be a conservative city of Nashville, 
Tennessee.
  Mr. Speaker, you will recall last March there was a Nashville 
shooter, Aiden Hale, who killed six people in The Covenant School in 
Nashville.
  At the time we were told that nobody knew what his motivation was, 
that he just had a rambling manifesto, and us little people didn't have 
to know anything more about it. It recently came out on the internet 
that this murderer of six people was a transgender who was motivated in 
part by Christian hatred and apparently a negative on blind hatred, 
too. In other words, he was a superwoke person who decided to kill six 
people.
  As scary as that is, it is just as scary that the authorities in 
Nashville are now investigating who leaked what motivated the shooter. 
In other words, our new government is scared to death of any narrative 
that intervenes with the overall woke agenda.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope in the future the press corps does not say that 
it is a problem when this is exposed but encourages local police to 
expose manifestos of multiple shooters so we know what really motivates 
them even if it is something like transgenderism.
