Who thought these types of self entitled people who have seen a sudden rise in the power of their bigotry would stop at just erasing positive messages of the LGBTQIA. Well these right wing bigots are also racist. Please tell me how teaching kids to be nice to each other and work together is an ideology that must not be taught? What they really are saying is it is against the conservative right wing maga way to push white cis superiority. Just as they hate the pride flags and demand that any positive anti-discrimination against the LGBTQIA be removed from school, they are now saying that a poster showing inclusion of non-white people is traumatizing to their white snowflake children. Yes that is correct, black kids sharing a school and activities with white kids is unacceptable. It is an ideology just like rainbow flags. No shit. This is what the school board member said after a parent complained about it. In 2023 we have white people saying in public school we shouldn’t have mixed race positive messages, and we should allow the terrorizing and bullying of gay, lesbian, and trans kids because they don’t like them. I warned everyone this was their next step, DeathSantis along with the Huckabeast in Arkansas trying to outlaw the teaching of the real brutality of slavery / racism in the US history is just an opening to try to return the country to the open racism of the 1950s.

Thursday, August 10, 2023CONROE, Texas (KTRK) — Some Conroe ISD trustees want to crack down on displays of racial inclusivity and pride, saying they represent, “symbols of personal ideologies.”
One trustee says a child was traumatized by a poster showing different colored children holding hands and had to switch classrooms.
School officials against this say a policy prohibiting political displays, not related to curriculum, already exists. The trustee who brought this forward didn’t realize that.
When it was brought to her attention, the trustee said she wants that policy to go further. Citing “a number of parents reaching out to her about supposed displays of personal ideologies in classrooms,” Melissa Dungan asked her fellow board members to crackdown on them.
“I wish I was shocked by each of the examples that were shared with me, however, I am aware these trends have been happening for many years,” Dungan said.
When pressed to share one of those examples, Dungan referred to a first grade student whose parent claimed they were so upset by a poster showing hands of people of different races, that they transferred classrooms.
“Just so I understand, you are seriously suggesting that you find objectionable, a poster indicating that all are included,” Stacey Chase, another trustee, said.
Dungan wouldn’t say whether she found that poster objectionable, just that she wants to avoid “situations like that” by having the board adopt stricter standards and adhere to state policies already in place, prohibiting teachers from displaying political items not relevant to curriculum.
Another trustee even asked if the poster was illegal and went on to claim previous displays of pride flags were.
“We do have violation of this law,” Misty Odenweller said.
When asked if bible verses were also in violation of existing policy and should be removed, Dungan struggled to respond.
“Right? Would you agree?” trustee Datren Williams asked Dungan.
“I don’t know,” Dungan replied.
Somehow, I think it was really the parent who was traumatized at seeing the poster.
This is why you don’t give these very dramatic, very racist people an inch.
Exactly. What’s next? What if the child was “traumatized” by seeing Black classmates or Black teachers? Then what?
These bigots have been emboldened by Trump, Abbott, DeSantis, and others, to publicly and proudly promote their racism. They are horrible people and should be publicly shunned.

And they call us snowflakes…
I assume they are not singing “Jesus loves the little children” in Sunday School there.
(“Jesus loves the little children,
all the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
all are precious in his sight…”)
Sesame Street scares them, doesn’t it?

It’s time for people to prove these claims. It’s one thing for a child to see a poster or flag and go home and ask questions, but trauma is a totally other thing. I bet truly traumatized students are always escorted to the office or nurse. This stuff has to stop. Real trauma happens, but everyone isn’t traumatized by every little thing all the time, as any survivor of trauma can explain.

Hi Ali. I agree. How far are these people going to push this parents get to over rule anything they don’t like shit. I know trauma at school. As a 14 or 15-year-old kid who had a very macho anti-gay science teacher who kept me from leaving the room as the bell rang so his very large sports team favorite student could come up and threaten me. When I tried to leave, the teacher wouldn’t let me and then in front of the remaining class this kid twice my weight and much taller than me started to beat the shit out of me. Even after I couldn’t stand the teacher stood there and let the kid kick me. As I lay on the floor with blood flowing from my nose and lips, the teacher leaned down and said loudly, “Now try not to be such a fagot and learn to be a man”. I was not openly out, I had never talked to anyone about my sexuality. But I was small and different along with not being on or interested in any sports teams, and that seemed to be enough in the mid 1970s to make me an acceptable target. All supported by what would now be called maga right wing teachers.
This is what these damn people want to return all schools back to. That is the time frame where hate and assaults on anyone not sufficiently straight or cis is supported by the staff. These new Don’t Say Gay laws in red states like in Florida stop teachers from preventing bullying, prevent programs promoting social acceptance for LGBTQIA kids. They are desperate to return to a time when kids were afraid to be different, to when kids were terrified that other may know they are not straight or not cis. Somehow that time, that actions make them happy! And what is worse, they are a very small minority that has taken over the government to force this on their states. I don’t get it, but I think decent people need to do what ever it takes to stop this back to the past actions of the right. Hugs
