MOVTA's Letter to AVMA Addressing Dr. Ted Yoho
The Missouri Veterinary Technicians Association stands in support of gender equity, diversity, and inclusion. We are appalled to hear of Dr. Ted Yoho's alleged comments and accosting of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and are upset at the AVMA tacitly condoning his behavior. MOVTA stands united against misogyny, sexism, and workplace & gender inequality and we urge AVMA to reconsider their stance: denounce Dr. Ted Yoho and revoke his membership.
