Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Solkern]

Honestly, I’d prefer kids don’t have any political messages at all on their school attire but it’s not up to me. You have to go to private school if you want that which is prohibitively expensive these days. As such, the rules should be universally enforced. If a pride flag is ok, so too should be a Confederate flag. There is no such thing as hate speech.

if you want to wear the pride flag, cool, you do you. If I want to wear there’s only two genders shirt, I expect the same treatment, if you can’t do that? Than neither should be allowed. Everything seems to be political these days, I guess people will be coming to school with nothing but a smile on! Lol

True and good point. Actually I’m sure a smile could be made political.

When I was a child and even through high school, I really didn’t give a fuck about politics. My motivation behind my preference and liking the idea of school uniforms is to keep the focus on education and avoid such unnecessary distractions. Our children are growing up in a much different world though. I’m just trying to raise my kids to have a good core value system and be tolerant of others.

There is no such thing as hate speech.

There certainly is such a thing as hate speech.

I should clarify. I mean that if it is not expressly & directly incite violence, I don’t think it should be labeled hate speech and be made illegal or censored. Too often these days do people label speech they simply disagree with or that is offensive in nature hate speech.

We should wrap our little angels in Cellophane and bubble wrap and make them wear earplugs that intuitively block speech their parents or the child disagree with.

Better yet, lets just school our little retards, err i mean angels, from home and never let them meet their peers in person!

I don't disagree... but there are plenty of examples of actual hate speech.

Problem is: The left has diluted everything down with their "OMG U R RACIST!" or "OMG U R SEXIST!" or "OMG U R GENDERIST!" so things that are actually racist/sexist are just shrugged off as "there goes the unhinged left again"

School board used the excuse that the LGBTQ+ community is a "protected class"... if that type of talk doesn't set off alarms, not sure what will.

"According to Whiting, the school said that the message on Morrison's T-shirt qualifies as bullying and harassment, and the staff told Morrison that his shirt was targeting a "protected class" of students in the school."

Massachusetts law recognizes LGBT+ a protected class in discrimination, stop crying and educate yourself.

The fact that "There are only 2 genders" is seen as political at all + this whole gender debate in general being an actual thing just means we're doomed as a society.

He should wear a rainbow LGBT shirt but still have the same message.

Throw in "I'm trans and there are only 2 genders." just for fun. The school won't know how to handle their own warped logic when they start crying about it. And since he says he's trans, he's now a protected class and they cant prove that he isn't.

Basic biology has become the forefront of political battles for the years to come!

I would fucking pay to see that.
