"Everyone welcome" is now unacceptable.

I understand that.


It takes a lot of one's own prejudidices to see that poster as preferential. But the extremists on the other side of the scale aren't immune from such digging to try to create controversy either.
Yep. I don't get it, but we're in a different country for now. This is going to depend where one lives, of course. In some states this kind of thing might be more prevalent than others.
 
WHY WOULDN'T THEY BE WELCOME?

Do we need a message at the top of this website declaring that the views of senior citizens are welcome?

Maybe we do, as some of them are demonstrating some pretty childlike insecurities in this thread.

WHO DOES IT HURT TO SAY TO CHILDREN THAT THEY ARE WELCOME?

Maybe there should just be a sign telling them to **** off at the head of the class, in order to prepare them for the petty, braindead, indecent place America has become.

Because it implies that they are not welcome elsewhere, or that without such a sign, maybe they're not welcome?

Do we need a sign that says, "Blonde girls are welcome in this classroom!"?

Children (and many 50's era Southerners) tend to divide themselves by visual differences between themselves and others. Sometimes these "differences" are reinforced by what they hear from home from their parents. The teacher's sign is a reminder that all are accepted and welcomed in the classroom.

That sign says "everyone". It doesn't specify a characteristic.
 
No question who's feeding bigotry in this thread, and it's not the "magas."

Yes, that sort of trash talking is not helpful.

No it doesn't, stop being ridiculous. Your whole premise is nothing more than self shitting, for the sake your own self dignity I implore you to give it up.

Like, how bent and twisted do you actually need to be to where a simple Welcome sign comes to mean this much to you in your head? What other scandals can we concoct? I think we ought to start with soccer balls, they have both black and white on them, so clearly that's a "leftist political message".

Sorry, this is the dumbest of the dumb shit I've seen on DP... and I here thought grown ass men bawling about the color of Disney princesses was the bottom of the intellectual barrel.
 
This is a terrible story to see teachers in the crossfire with these anti-DEI overreactions. "Everyone is welcome" becoming a political problem is absurd.
Thanks for the confirmation the sign represents fealty to DEI, no wonder the school administrators demanded its removal. A simple internet search confirms the sign is a political expression.
 
Green. Make the arms green.

Oh, wait, nevermind, that's going to piss off the anti- envirornment folks.

Purple? Will purple piss anyone off?

I swear to ****, shit has gotten beyond ridiculous down there.

Leave off colors all together, and the sign is still so inclusive it is unacceptable. It implies terrorists are welcome in that classroom. That teacher is supporting terrorism!

If you take the colors out you're still left with black and white. And we all know how that'll fly. ;)

They'll divide themselves on anything, not just visual characteristics. That's how you develop a self-identity, by comparing yourself to others. Prior to elementary school, lots of kids believe they are the "best" at pretty much everything they do and will freak out if they so much as lose a board game, and they learn through socialization that in reality they are likely good at some things and not so good at other things. They have enough going on without adults implying that other adults might not welcome them into a classroom because they don't have a sign.

FFS, it just keeps getting better and better... :ROFLMAO:

Don't speak for me, you did a terrible job of trying to so far and I did not say the banner was a DEI statement, keywords "anti-DEI overreactions."

Republicans are making this a political statement to cover up fascist mentalities core to MAGA.

Yeah, for sure, the way you were raised sure produced a fantastic society in 2025....

When they rant about this innocuous sign, its a huge tell.
 
Y’all keep denying the southern strategy happened but y’all keep telling us by your actions that it did.

Of course it is. Sunk cost fallacy demands they do it anyway.

Imagine being against making children feel welcome in their classroom for something as pathetic as partisanship. Utter and complete brain rot.
 
If you believe this policy is wrong,
Its not the policy it's the application.

How is that message not neutral?

How does saying everyone is welcome reflect personal opinions, religious beliefs, or political ideologies?

Unless your personal opinion, religious beliefs, or political ideology Is that everyone is not welcome.

If that is the case you have no business in public school, because public school policy is that everyone is indeed welcome.

The existence of "welcome" in one place does not mean "welcome" doesn't exist elsewhere.

Besides, I doubt the kids thought about the sign that deeply at all. After the first couple days it was probably just unnoticed in the background.

Well that's a self destructive argument. 😆

You might not know it, but you just agreed with those opposed to the sign.
 
I'm sure there's an ICE signup somewhere in your town.
No, no no. People like this stand behind, way, way behind ICE and what it is doing, but they won't get their hands dirty.
They cheer and jeer, but are too chickenshit to actually take the actions of their convictions.
So ****ing cowards.
