We have to keep repeating this: These people are terrified of reality and think that it is everyone's job to protect them from the real world. I don't know if it's helpful to use the term "snowflake", but it is apt. Queer people exist in the world. There is no doubt. Trans people exist in the world. The Civil Rights movement occurred and was a big part of US history, as was slavery. If someone's religion says that ham is a sin, we don't ban it from school cafeterias. That, as we say, is a you problem. We have got to start hammering home that these people are afraid of reality and want big government to protect them from it. And we also have to start saying "Tough shit. Grow up. Learn to deal with the rest of the world or hide in your basement. I give zero fucks."

As soon as Republicans stop wearing AK 47 pins in the halls of Congress.

Gotta take all the flags out then. It was about the 5th or 6th grade when I stopped standing for the pledge and national anthem. The fact it's implied as mandatory is so gross.

Flag displays that depict a “racial, sexual orientation and gender, or political ideology viewpoint”

IANAL but wouldn't the stars and stripes also fall under that definition?

I keep hearing how it is the symbol of democracy, which I am fairly sure is a political ideology.

• The Christian Fish
• That tree flag
• Those purity type flags
• …

“…they could hang the full size flag of any recognized nation as long as they want.”

Hmm. So hanging a bunch of flags from random countries altogether like this would be okay:

(There aren’t great colour options in the flag palette and you’d probably have to overlap them too but whatever. You get the idea.)

Notice the wording: “racial, sexual orientation and gender, or political ideology viewpoint”

So if rainbow flags were somehow part of, say, religious iconography… would it be okay in that context?

What happens when it rains but is slightly sunny outside?

Every accusation is a confession.

I’m so glad Double Rainbow Guy didn’t live to see this

Florida GOP lawmakers seek to ban THEMSELVES from schools, saying they're bad for students

I think Mauritius' flag 🇲🇺 is the closest. I could learn to see it as a pride flag.

Someone is about to get a lesson about the 1st Amendment as soon as this gets to a courtroom.

This would fail any proper challenge for the racial element.

The shitty thing about US law is that there is minimal protection against sexual discrimination, at least outside of employment matters.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Flag displays that depict a “racial, sexual orientation and gender, or political ideology viewpoint” would be banned from any state or local government building, including public schools and universities, under the bill authored by GOP Rep. David Borrero.

Borrero said it protects children and it would ban even lapel pins representing the flags of the LGBTQ+ and Black Lives Matter movements.

“It’s wholly inappropriate to be putting those types of flags in front of public school students and in government buildings.”

This bill advanced with a party-line 9-5 vote by the House Constitutional Rights, Rule of Law & Government Operations Subcommittee faces an uncertain path, even with Republican supermajorities in the Legislature.

Democratic Rep. Michele Rayner, who is Black and lesbian, spoke with frustration that anti-LGBTQ+ bills keep coming up in the Florida Legislature, ignoring more pressing needs such as access to affordable housing and property insurance.

Robert Boo, CEO of the town’s Pride Center, said DeSantis and the bill’s backers hope to “erase the LGBTQ community” and throw “red meat” to their political supporters while ignoring complicated issues plaguing the state.

The original article contains 741 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

well they should ban the story of Noah and the Great Flood too.... that has a rainbow in it!!!!1!1!11

School is bad for you. School in Florida doubly so.
