Take notes everyone, this is just one small example of what "fuck you, make me" looks like. This teacher has more spine than Chuck Schumer and half of our administrative state.
How is "everyone is welcome" not "content -neutral"?
The message was supposedly fine, but you can't have it delivered by someone with brown skin.
Seriously: "the district told the Statesman that it was not the message that was at issue, but rather the hands of different skin tones on the poster."

Wow. What colour hands would they recommend? Let me guess...
Maybe the two vampire hands were the problem.
Because it doesn't express support for fascism.
Acknowledging that there is a goal of equality within society at all is now legally non-neutral. There is legal pressure to allow white supremacy, patriarchy, and xenophobic christian nationalism to exist as they are without any pressure to change them. To acknowledge that disadvantaged classes of people exist and face discrimination in any form is illegal, or at least that is their intent.
Some of the letters are printed in colors almost as scary as the colors of a rainbow. That's the only "offensive to idiots" thing I can possibly come up with.
Because neutrality is oppression.
It doesn’t support cishet white males, obviously
It actually does, but it supports other people too. That's the bit they can't stand.
It doesn’t support cishet white males, ~~obviously~~ exclusively
Ftfy.
bro the sign is in a classroom in a country which is an oligarchy. Promoting equality amongst the next generation of workers goes against the interests of the oligarchs who financially control the country
This is fucking insane. I think I'm going to go hyperventilate for a while.
Inama initially removed them but later rehung them, arguing the only opposing view to inclusion is exclusion.
Smart teacher. That is, indeed, the only logical stance.
They don't do logic in the present day US.
It’s more about the teacher than those who are in charge. That logical conclusion is also the only morale one. I hope she stays strong and fights this oppression.
If student artwork is allowed, as the administration states, she needs to have a word with the art teacher. A sign just like hers with real student handprints would be even better than the purchased poster.
Can she have a sign that says “Apparently some are not welcome here” then?
Some are more equal that others.
Just be out with it. Put up a sign ironically that says: "colored not welcome" since that's what they obviously want
This is really because it currently invites vampires
Yeah, I mean. You don't wanna lie to the non-whites and female kids
Fascists Enforce Their Draconian White Supremacist Rules
Media needs to grow an ethical backbone and start calling out these pricks and their policies for what they are.
I agree, however, "media" (and news corps specifically) have to be very careful about libel in order to avoid being sued into oblivion.
Can we get a location rule? Like [USA, Idaho] at the end of the title? We know it's the USA, but it'd bw nice to know where. Also, state or country names when it's just a city or town. Like I'm supposed to know if it's Paris France or Paris Illinois.
If she needs to exclude someone just put everyone is welcome, except fascists. That should meet the requirements?
