We're going completely off the deep end to the right in this country. Becoming more like 1930s Germany every day.

Not sure what point is here. You're showing an example of sexual abuse. Does that example demonstrate that were actually left leaning as a country?

I agree things like this are really stupid...just like when American Flags had to be taken down, the "support the blue" signs were asked to be removed, etc.

They're all over the place. Especially on Trump-related social media.

You didn't prove anything...you mention some site with no link or posts that you claim are racist.  You made the claim...now show quotes of racists things that are "all over the place"

You'll notice I didn't say there weren't any racists post on the internet, but I'd like to see your definition of racist posts and then prove that they are "all over the place".

Tons of posts explaining that whites are "victims" in the u.s., which is blatantly false.

First off...why would I look at such a site?  Second question...why do you?  Third questions...if there is racists stuff all over that website it should be easy for you to quote it and post it here?  How about any other sites?

The reality is you once again throw out statements that you can't back up...it is your m.o.

I heard about this on the radio today.  Disgusting.   This is approved by the school, a middle school.   We have people trying to tell us that this isn't a big deal, that this isn't a problem.   When you have school administrator force girls to undress in front of a male, that is abuse of the kind I have been talking about.   There was a neutral place that the boy could have gone to, but no, he had to make a spectacle and force the admin to prove they are as woke as possible.  

Yeah right, this stuff isn't being pushed by the schools!!

They're all over. Its dzens or hundreds of examples. If you can't see them then you're being intentionally obtuse.

LOL...that is what constitutes "racists posts all over the place"???  How about they are just whinny people that like to play the victim...like a lot of people from many different races like to do.

So you can't prove it...again!

He never does.   He just says stuff and call anyone a stupid head for not believing him.

Two whataboutisms in the same thread, impressive.

Any comment on the actual subject of the thread?

I couldn’t open your NyPost link but read this one. I don’t know, it seems like the school district had good intentions.

Meh.  Saying a picture of hands with different skin tones and the words “everyone is welcome here” could create division is ridiculous, regardless of the “intentions.”

You may have noticed that my OP made no mention of political parties, but if I had to bet, I’d probably bet that the folks that made the decision are probably libs, so for the folks that want to blame everything on the libs, you maybe could for this anyway.  Although they did try to blame the decision on “today’s political environment,” and by saying the issue was the color of the hands they could be afraid it could be considered DEI which could risk losing funding.
