I have two reasons to hope there isn't a government shutdown. One reason is selfish.

Everyone is Welcome Here... No Longer. By Ponderer March 14, 2025 7:34 am Category: Religion (5.0 from 1 vote) Rules of the Post Write A New Article How To Post Here

A teacher was ordered to remove posters that have been up in her classroom for many years. One says, "EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE", and the other says, "In this room everyone is WELCOME IMPORTANT ACCEPTED RESPECTED ENCOURAGED VALUED EQUAL".

Apparently, the school board does not want to alienate people or students who believe that there are those who are not welcome in public schools. That believe there are those who are not equal to them and are lesser than they are. They contend that the statement everyone is welcome here is only a personal belief and they don't allow teachers to display personal beliefs in the classroom. And the asinine analogy that they tried to excuse themselves with only stands to prove my contention that conservatives are absolutely incapable of constructing an equitable comparison.


This ugly bigotry is not what America is about.

But it is clearly what America is becoming. It is what Trump and his racist, bigoted, pig-ignorant, fucking bastard MAGA assholes are turning it into.


God damn Donald Trump to Hell. God DAMN him to everlasting and tormenting Hell for what he is doing to this once great nation and the very lives of so many of its population.

And Godspeed him to it.

by Ponderer on March 14, 2025 7:40 am Maybe if all the hands in the posters were white...? by oldedude on March 14, 2025 7:47 am You were on a roll in the first two paragraphs. Then the trains went off the rails. So I don't understand what the problem was having that up. I think this is something that some lawyer wet their pants about and overreacted. I, too, think it's BS, and I'm not going to waste time on it. It's not in my ability to control. Unfortunate? Yes. Borderline stupid? Sure. I can't see a reason for doing it. Is the world falling down? No, but it is unfortunate. by Ponderer on March 14, 2025 8:08 am Well, od, this "overreaction" is in the process of becoming the norm. This is the direction that this "administration" is taking this country towards. If the water that you are simmering in seems to be okay temperature-wise right now to you, you won't even notice when this sort of thing becomes more and more ubiquitous. And yes, I place all the blame on one man. Trump is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to this once great country in its entire history. I weep that an apparently intelligent person like yourself can't see that. But yours is the ignorance that a despicable and evil conman like Trump depends on to put him where he is. I don't blame you for falling for his bullshit. Scamming is his #1 expertise. He's a master of it, and nothing else. But I do have to blame you and other MAGA Hats like you at some point for never coming to your apparent senses about the blatantly disgusting excuse for a human being that he is. by HatetheSwamp on March 14, 2025 8:55 am "But it is clearly what America is becoming. It is what Trump and his racist, bigoted, pig-ignorant, fucking bastard MAGA assholes are turning it into." Interesting, po. When I read it, I assumed that the target was either MAGAs... or, people who want to pray in school by Ponderer on March 14, 2025 9:08 am Well, you always insist on being stupidly wrong about everything. So I'm not surprised. by meagain on March 14, 2025 9:29 am It is not a big stretch to think the executive order to find ways to cut federal funding to schools that teach certain topics related to race, sex, gender or politics is the reason. by HatetheSwamp on March 14, 2025 9:44 am po, So, I watched the video. Whadahoot! I'm guessing that you think it's the reporting of news... not preaching. I saw nuthin to make me think that the targets are not MAGAs and praying Christians. Oh, and I'm pleased to note that your sanctimony is still intact and that I'm not merely wrong, but "STUPIDLY" wrong. by oldedude on March 14, 2025 9:52 am po- I do notice. Just like I notice genderless bathrooms and what danger that has put women in. And the ability to groom children in school when teachers keep information from the parents. I still think the issue you posted was a wrong solution to the problem (I agreed with you). I adamantly agree with the teacher. I appreciate to know that everyone (including my children) are welcome. I believe the district is going to lose the lawsuit🤞. That serves them right (both legally and morally). The teacher and the blacks that filed the lawsuit have the legal and moral high ground. The teacher needs to be commended for her "stones" in this case. And so do the families. THAT pisses me off that something as simple as that is put up with😱 in this day and age. Now. Don't you think this is a great precedence for other school districts? I think it's great. West Ada is going to have to pay millions of dollars for this. Districts don't have the money to get into this. They'll quit on both of these cases. And so will other districts. You have to think longer than the next few seconds of your life. I know you can't think long-term, but that's a key. That all said. The difference between you and I is that I understand what is in my control and what is not. THIS IS NOT IN MY CONTROL. It doesn't live in my head, and I'm not hateful about it. I'm not going to burn down buildings or wish people dead. That hatred only rots and destroys your soul and makes you nothing but a curmudgeon that can't see any good in anything. All joy gets sucked from your heart. I look for possible solutions of what I can do. I think that's where you and one other are at. There is no rational way to communicate with you. by Ponderer on March 14, 2025 9:54 am For the life of me, I will never understand why you believe that doubling-down on a ridiculously wrong assertion somehow makes it less ridiculously wrong. But then, you're a stupid moron. So, logic has nothing to do with you. "It is not a big stretch to think the executive order to find ways to cut federal funding to schools that teach certain topics related to race, sex, gender or politics is the reason." -meagain Trump is already doing that. He's trying to withhold funding for schools in Maine for their stance on trans issues. by oldedude on March 14, 2025 10:06 am "It is not a big stretch to think the executive order to find ways to give federal funding to schools that teach certain topics related to race, sex, gender or politics is the reason." pedojoe did that, and 80% of the voters hate it. So they elected trumpster. by oldedude on March 14, 2025 10:09 am Lead- I agree, when you listen to the citation, it's not about trumpster or MAGA at all. It's about the district being stoopid. Maybe that shoulda happened before she posted. by Ponderer on March 14, 2025 10:40 am You idiots are morons. by HatetheSwamp on March 14, 2025 10:45 am po, The people I know who are unwelcoming are people like you who are obsessed by unyielding and deranged TrumpHate. And, Trump is not cutting funding from Maine because of trans issues. He's doing it because Maine is breaking the law by defying Title IX. by oldedude on March 14, 2025 11:01 am Lead- Had you actually listened to trumpster, you would have known that. IF you just listen to the rachael on the cartoon channel or the rest of curt's trifecta, you wouldn't. You have to move away from the TDS channels to actually get "reasonableness." Even CNN is pretty liberal, but would at least intro someone to reality. One of the major planks for trumpster is men in woman's sports for what he has control of. That is "federally funded" schools, and even private schools receiving federal funding (through research grants or student grants and loans). So the feds have a pretty big steak in this. The thing with the maniacs is they can't play out of the state with any of those athletics. I don't think anyone has thought about that. Of course, the percentage of money flowing into the schools has got to be a killer. And it's their choice. I choose NOT to do things because I don't like the cost. by oldedude on March 14, 2025 11:03 am I'm moving this to the other thread. by HatetheSwamp on March 14, 2025 11:10 am OD, I think that you are right about Curt's Holy Trinity and po's metaphorical Rachel. by Curt_Anderson on March 14, 2025 11:19 am Did anybody besides Ponderer and me watch the video? West Ada is in Idaho, btw. Trump is not directly involved in this school issue, but he has given permission for bigots to come out of the closet. And Trump has intimidated some weak-kneed school administrators to come down on the side of xenophobia and bigotry. by HatetheSwamp on March 14, 2025 11:25 am "Trump is not directly involved in this school issue, but he has given permission for bigots to come out of the closet." Really? When? How? I watched the video. I thought it was a hoot. What self-righteous preaching! You couldn't do better in a fundamentalist church on a Sunday morning. by oldedude on March 14, 2025 12:16 pm Both Lead and I cited things that weren't posted, but were in the video. Please read posts. by oldedude on March 14, 2025 12:20 pm And Trump has intimidated some weak-kneed school administrators to come down on the side of xenophobia and bigotry. Because you wouldn't read it the first time, I'll just say it again. You may want to read this time. I believe the district is going to lose any lawsuit🤞. That serves them right (both legally and morally). The teacher and the blacks that filed the lawsuit have the legal and moral high ground. The teacher needs to be commended for her "stones" in this case. And so do the families. THAT pisses me off that something as simple as that is put up with😱 in this day and age. by Curt_Anderson on March 14, 2025 12:38 pm "I believe the district is going to lose any lawsuit🤞.

THAT pisses me off that something as simple as that is put up with😱 in this day and age." ---OD 🍻 I believe you are correct about potential lawsuits and you are certainly correct on the morality issue. If the school administration wins, they will need to remove or edit any welcome mats they happen to have by their doors. by Ponderer on March 14, 2025 1:08 pm If it is merely an "opinion" that everyone is welcome in that classroom, then it stands to reason that there must be students who are not welcome in that classroom. by oldedude on March 14, 2025 3:30 pm It is YOUR "opinion" that everyone is welcome (it is mine too but again, I'm not burning government buildings down). Your "opinion" v their "opinion". Nothing more. by HatetheSwamp on March 14, 2025 3:47 pm po, You are reeeeeeeally smart so you probably know this but it's the DEI code language that is offensive. by oldedude on March 14, 2025 7:46 pm And the violence in it. Even when people want to agree with you. by Ponderer on March 14, 2025 11:28 pm "it's the DEI code language that is offensive." -Sloat So... "EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE" is "DEI code language"...?
