    The moment we present a political or personal belief we violate the law … the color of the hands is crossing the political boundary.

    Attorney General Raúl Labrador later issued guidance stating the “Everyone Is Welcome Here” poster violated the law. In an opinion published on the attorney general’s website and in an op-ed for Fox News, Labrador described the poster as “DEI messaging disguised as inclusion” that "mask[s] a comprehensive worldview that undermines parental authority over children’s moral development.

    That’s just fucked up. This guy believes that telling children those who don’t look like them should be welcome is bad.

      Mask[s] a comprehensive worldview that undermines a parental authority over children’s moral development

      What the fuck does that even mean? Teachers are undermining a parent’s authority to tell their kids to hate people because of the color of their skin or other differing things?

        that’s exactly what that means. they want parents to teach kids racism and don’t want teachers to undo that. :(

        It means they want de-integration. Policies like this are essentially revenge against civil rights policies set in the 60s by white nationalists still mad about their “heritage”.

    Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador later issued guidance stating the “Everyone Is Welcome Here” poster violated the law. In an opinion published on the attorney general’s website and in an op-ed for Fox News, Labrador described the poster as “DEI messaging disguised as inclusion” that “mask[s] a comprehensive worldview that undermines parental authority over children’s moral development.”

    This is an argument that the message is not the message. That the offense lies, not in what the poster says, but in what the poster does not say. This is an accusation of a thought crime.

    Labrador argues that the sign is political because of its rainbow colors. You can read his op-ed here.

        “DEI messaging disguised as inclusion”

        …the fuck?

        “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” messaging is somehow disguised as…inclusion? Someone please tell me what I’m missing here.

          No, you see it too. I think you need a background of watching fox news for a couple of years for that to sound like it makes sense.

          Either that or they realized that viewer/reader comprehension and critical thinking no longer is a necessary factor in what they say.

      The Idaho Democratic Party now even sells these posters and has embraced the message as their cause — making clear that even if this message was not originally intended as political, it undeniably is now. A teacher’s claimed ignorance of political connections does not render illegal displays suddenly lawful.

      Yeah, buddy. They became political because YOU made it political.

      Sweet Jesus…

      What Trump’s administration recognized as dangerous enough to ban from federal agencies and K-12 schools through executive order has been quietly spreading through classrooms nationwide.

      Would like to see an alternative poster…

      Just like this one, but “NOT Everyone is welcome here”, and one of the hands has a Nazi armband, and that one has a circle with a line thru it.

      Would that be too “political”?

        They’ve gotten upset at “ICE not welcome here” with hotels barring them from staying or stores barring access to washrooms.

        So… Yeah probably.

          It’s ironic because they want the return to Jim Crow while at the same time being refused service by shops.

      Only if “comply” is gen z slang for “punch them in their damn nazi mouths so hard they’ll have to have their jaws wired”. Because if that’s the case, you should definitely comply, you should comply with a passion.

    Uh, according to the overwhelming evidence in your fucked up third world country, everyone is most definitely NOT welcome.

      I wonder if putting up that sign (not everyone is welcome) with a few people in flowing white robes would be considered 👌Okkk

    It’s a shame that boycotting the same country multiple times doesn’t increase the impact each time.
