Inama went on to argue that messages of inclusion are not political, especially when both state and federal law dictate that public schools must accept all children and cannot discriminate.

“To say that ‘Everyone is Welcome’ in a public school system is not political, it’s the law,” Inama said.

Inclusive sayings aren’t new to public schools, Inama noted. Back when she was a student, signs that read things like “All are Welcome” or “Everyone is Welcome” were a common way to encourage kids to feel safe and welcome and therefore ready to learn.

“It’s all over the place. It’s not a political opinion, it’s a pretty common message,” Inama said

Sounds like the times are trying to change the common message. Laws are already changing to be discriminatory as we speak.

Gee, now we get to discover that EVERYTHING is political

Which 'political viewpoint' is this exactly?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

It's against one. Just like they demonize "Antifa".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Tolerance, inclusivity, and integration.

To put this into perspective, the legal fact that "everyone"[0] is welcome in a given public school was not established until 1954 with Brown v Board of Education. And segregationists lost there mind over this.

In 1957, president Eisenhower had the 101st airborne division invade Little Rock High School, after Arkansas deployed it's national guard to block black students from entering.

[0] In terms of race. Restricting access to schools based on home address remains common, and has ended being used as a way to effectively segregate schools without violating Brown.

Ah, you kooky Americans. I just find it absurd that basic human empathy is considered a 'political viewpoint'. I guess if it is, then everything is. What does the word 'political' even mean any more?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Literally everything is fcking political, and not knowing this is some uneducated shit.

READING IS POLITICAL. Access to resources is political. EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL.

I'd love for YOU to define what "political" means bc I'm sure you don't know.

There is a government and inherent politics to every human dynamic. Two strangers meeting in the desert form a government between them, by communicating what will and wont happen (ie laws), and that communication is adaptive. Meaning, as the communications and laws are understood, we then make changes to our government based on current events. Those communications themselves, how they are communicated, and the later consequences and adaptations, are politics. Your existence as a human is politics. You eating is politics. You writing online is politics. And it shapes your life and your government and community. How do you not intrinsically know this?

You must be a real hoot at parties.

The one that probably disagrees with the US governments pro concentration-camp agenda. And so as an opinion that differs from the government view, it must be blocked, because freedom

Very unamerican.

If the notion of inclusion is "political" that must mean that the notion of exclusion is the "political" positon that is being protected here.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 day ago

Yes.

Uniformity, Inequity, Exclusion.

I really hope the pendulum swings the other way in the future and we become the most Woke society imaginable.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago (5 children)

It won't. To do so will require checks community instance server really big peaceful marches and flag waving.

I think it could be accomplished with a MarioKart tournament.

Historically, every time there's been a push towards progress, there's also been a push back by all the cockroaches that consider tradition the ultimate model for self expression, which is where we are now. Usually after some violent struggle of a variety, the progress wins out eventually. Hopefully this is not an exception, but we might not see it in our lifetime.

The French Revolution last over a hundred years and imo never ended.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

no, this is a classic fallacy in historiography.

things don’t just happen. we have to choose to do them, first.

your thesis ignores… every single time in history progress didnt “win out.”

saying “progress wins out eventually” is unfalsifiable because the only true constant in this universe is change. you’re like, not technically wrong but the statement is so detached from the human experience as to be meaningless. this type of analysis isn’t welcome in academia for a reason.

in other words. get out there, there’s work to do!

Jeez I was going to but the city denied our protest permit.

I personally hope it gets bad enough fast enough for Elon to decide to go personally pioneer his Mars base. I would give anything for a live feed of him trying to survive a hundred million miles away from the rest of us

They want to put nukes in space, that is the main goal of the Mars thing. They say they want to detonate 2 nukes on Mars poles to start it rotating - this a lie which is a cover for them wanting to develop technology to put nukes in space to threaten us all, while SpaceX and Bezos have their rockets to save some select few. He was never going to terraform Mars. Ever. He can't even build a train here.

It would be like Musk trying to win a game of Factorio, without any help. I am down for it.

It could be like one of those private sub missions and be over quick!

Took the Great Depression to do that. May well happen again.

"no one is welcomed here unless you are bigotted remarks"

I mean it is false advertising

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

The AG is correct that lies shouldn't be posted in schools.

I wish I could say this was the most absurd thing I’ve seen today, but…

Derrick, of course, isn't welcome anywhere.
