I have respect for the teacher. She is willing to risk her job to stand up for her values and is not bending the knee. Every Democrat should take a good long look at her.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Yup, put up a bigger fight than these so-called democratic leaders.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

She sounds like someone who should run for office if she gets fired over this

Just print out the word "not", wedge it into the sign: problem solved.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

I wonder if they notice if you really overdo what they want like sings with "only white old rich people or poor people who want to be slaves are welcome here"

“This policy is designed to maintain consistency across all classrooms while ensuring that no one group is targeted or offended by the display of certain items.”

The district underlined that its policies are not intended to limit free speech but to ensure fairness in classroom materials.

Imagine being offended by "Everyone is welcome here". Racist snowflakes the lot of them

I get it, you don't want to send the wrong message these days, but seems kind of extreme. Could have just kept it up and added "(except Elon or JD Vance)"

“West Ada School District has been and always will be committed to fostering a welcoming and supportive learning environment for all students while upholding district policies,” the statement reads.

Their statement seems to violate their policy as well.

I loved that they fed what is just boilerplate to the press while missing the irony of copying what the teacher said.

Also, sports teams are ok? I thought it was about learning? For profit billionaire owned wealth concentrating, public fund leeching, extremely segregated arbitrary loyalty-building exercises have much less of an appropriate place in school--and I quite enjoy athletics.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

I was just thinking that. I wanted to scream at my monitor "you just fucking repeated what the sign said in your statement about why you're removing the fucking sign!"

And I'm still running into people everyday that says the U.S.A. is th greatest country in the world by a longshot, they think im crazy that I think they're crazy.

and not me getting nervous that DEI is still an important part of our curriculum where I work (A school) and wonder if some trump gestopo is gonna come knocking.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

The US is objectively not the greatest country, and the statement is tired and trite. It’s a corporate slogan. Only True Believers™️ say that shit, and they’re just crabs in a bucket stepping on each other to climb to the top.

Between this and not feeding the TSA police dogs, we're really approaching cartoonish levels of evil from the regime.

For anyone who didn't click through to the article, here are pictures of the two posters in question. She wasn't asked to remove anything else. The article made clear this wasn't a situation where the school backed down after pushback, and that even after prolonged meetings and discussions with legal counsel, they're still threatening her with repercussions if the posters aren't removed by the end of the school year.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Well, I mean, clearly you can see that these posters are terrifying to anyone who isn't onboard for the radical Marxist Communist woke liberal antifa agenda?

Also, this teacher is just advertising that she's a GROOMER.

"White children shouldn't feel like racists in their own classroom."

Maybe these kids need to learn some history, their privilege doesn't end just because they are young.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The assholes in charge are going to work as hard and as fast as possible to re-write that history. They keep saying that have a small window to "fix" the national debt and that is their excuse for much of this bullshit.

What they really want to do is to radically remake America. Very, very extremist. The "fiscal responsibility"/"debt" thing is nonsense and used as cover. They are acting fast and reckless, but it is not to balance the budget.

Remember how they kept hyperventilating about how Obama said he was going to go about "fundamentally transforming" the country? Yeah, every single accusation is a confession with these people.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

we need to save these kids and get them to a priest, ASAP!

On the first one the brown hands outnumber the paler hands and that scares the shit out of them. The second one has rainbow colors and that also scares the shit out of them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

I was straight but I looked at this poster and now I'm queer. It really is that simple, a poster can make you LGBT.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Surprising that anyone other than an actual Albino would identify with the palest hands on that poster.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

raises his pale, sun-forgotten, semi-transparent hand

"The Scottish and the Northern British, sir"

We need to ban the rainbow! Anyone who talks about, it takes pictures of, rainbows should be sent to concentration camps straight away! Rainbows do not exist. /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I once had someone tell me that people were turning gay because we put rainbows on everything. I told him that rainbows are how God apologizes for fucking up. He called me a liar, I told him to read the Bible he carried everywhere.

Never saw him again, I doubt he took my advice or learned anything.

I'm genuinely curious if they would make her take down that sign.
