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. :(

Even the idea that "the color of the hands is crossing the political boundary" is disgusting.

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

[-] osanna@thebrainbin.org 10 points 1 week ago

imagine being so bigoted that an everyone welcome poster offends you. holy shit

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"?

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.

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.

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

Clearly everyone is NOT welcome there. ☹️

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 week ago

IMO, fascists should never feel welcome anywhere.

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

Have they asked these experts in propaganda exactly who is not welcome?
