A gay pride flag is not inherently political.

I agree teachers should not push their beliefs on kids, but banning pride flags is going too far. What about an Israeli flag? What about a Mexican flag? You're not pushing for a ban on politics in the classrom. Just specifically something gay.

There should be rules about pushing beliefs onto kids, and this is a part of teacher training. This is a free speech issue. You're singling out a specific message and preventing teachers from indicating that their classroom is a safe space for kids who desperately need support.

Here's the issue I have with pride, LGBTQ flags etc. If you allow teachers to show support for and through their expression you must also allow the students to do the same.

For instance, workplaces often do not allow employees to have affinity groups etc. Because if you allow one you must allow all, you are endorsing their viewpoint of you deny others.

I feel the same way about that flag, what if someone creates a flag for Asian attracted persons......or something crazy like minor attracted persons. Would we have to allow all those flags equal representation. I think an argument might be made that you could.

Leave that crap out of the school and have teachers teach. Children should have no idea what a person's sexual preferences are, and there shouldn't be any outward support for anyone's sexual preferences at all. It doesn't belong in the classroom.

I went to a mostly Mormon school in Utah. There was one catholic teacher who wore a crucifix and had photos of her visit to the Vatican on her walls, etc. Guess where you could find the few Catholic kids in town during a lunch period. Her classroom was a pretty good place to look.

Is this really where we want to take things? No community. Oppenness. Just hardline rules so that nobody has to ever deal with the notion that somebody might say something to our kids that they disagree with.

Guess what! It's good for your kids' development to deal with alternative opinions. And if you don't think that's true, then your beliefs might be problematic.

Should ANTIFA symbols be showed/featured in a teacher's classroom? Black Block? White Nationalist? MAGA? Socialist Workers Party? Muslim Brotherhood? LDS? What about Scientology, or Freemasonry.

Should we allow teachers to fly the upside down pineapple and discuss swinging with our children?

Many things should be kept out of the classroom, sexuality and sexual preferences among them.

This is insane. Every teacher has their personality expressed in their classroom. My English teacher had paintings. Nothing to do with the subject.

I had a Spanish teacher with the same name as a famous linebacker, and he had a poster of the LB on the wall. Had nothing to do with anything, but it was awesome, and he was a great teacher because he connected with us.

If a teacher wants to say he/she's an ally in decorating their classroom, it's ridiculous to claim they aren't doing their job.

That you would equate those three is typical Huff.

Man, I wish Lexus would hire Jaguar's design team. They can build beautiful cars, but their quality is horrible. Lexus has ugly, boring cars with amazing quality. Perfect match, imo.

Saw Clay Travis said the new Superman movie was woke and it would suck. I went to see It with the wife today and it was the typical Superman vs Luther plot and was good.

I just watched Casablanca, and 27 YO Ingrid Bergman says "Hey boy." to the black piano player. I looked it up. He was 56. I don't wanna hear about "[insert name of younger demographic] don't respect their elders."

When I first heard "boy" was offensive to some, I thought that seemed overly sensitive. Nah, the history behind the term is now clear to me.

They’ve actually done worse over the years. Jaguar was originally known as the Swallow Sidecar. Their motto…..in the 30s no less……”SS is coming”.

LMAO .... this low IQ idiot claiming Republicans are rigging elections?
Dollar Store Obama needs to go work on using some kind of new material.
Republicans aren't that smart on how to rig elections. That's the Democrats
playbook material. That was their plan all along when bringing in thousands
of undocumented illegal migrants from all over the world w/their open border
policy. Hoping to make the vast majority of them Democrat voters so they could stay in power. But their little plan failed & backfired on them in the last presidential election. But come out anyway & holla Dollar loud as you can they are rigging things.
