School Asks Teachers To Take Down Pro-Diversity Posters, Saying They're 'Anti-Trump' | The Huffington Post

WASHINGTON ― School administrators in a 93 percent white Maryland county recently asked high school teachers to take down pro-diversity posters*from classrooms because they perceived them as “political” and “anti-Trump,” a school spokesperson told The Huffington Post.

Not sure what's "anti-Trump" about them, but we can't have free speech for liberals. That is reserved for Milo Y.

The Left started this "get offended by everything" meme that is going on right now.

So these were taken down by liberals who were concerned with angering the God-Emperor?
 
Re: School Asks Teachers To Take Down Pro-Diversity Posters, Saying They're 'Anti-Tru

They are political and they are definitely a message about what Trump is doing.

Liberals can get their political hard ons somewhere besides the classroom.

I'd be interested to know exactly who said "because they're anti-Trump." I suspect that isn't true. I don't see the school administrator saying that, but I do see her calling it political... but that doesn't make such an exciting story.

You know, the press is responsible for the doubt and mistrust that surrounds them, so don't be complainin' when people say, I don't believe it."

Sore that someone has a point of view different from your Messiah? You claim not be a Trumpette, but your posting history begs to differ.

“Since the posters were taken down, what does that tell the students?” Waince asked. “That it’s perfectly fine to remove something which supports a moral value that each human being should have?”

Poor kid is playing into the propaganda.

It's a classroom. If you want to hang political propaganda posters then find a bus or something.

According to the link:

Carey Gaddis, a spokeswoman for Carroll County Public Schools.

right after that:

At least one staff member complained about the posters, and the teachers were “asked to take them down because they were being perceived as anti-Trump by the administration,” Gaddis said.


Or are you asking what teachers said that?
 
Re: School Asks Teachers To Take Down Pro-Diversity Posters, Saying They're 'Anti-Tru

pro diversity is anti Trump? Well duh, but only because Trump is anti diversity. The question is why does diversity have to be political and why is advocating diversity a bad thing in educational context? Because the admin's actions will only be read by the non white students as "I'm not welcome here"

They took them down. Then they were allowed to put them back up. What a freaking weird story.

I'm confused.

No, I'm saying the Left started the stupidity that is happening where anything this is even remotely considered political or controversial needs to be barred from anything other than one's own internal thoughts.

Who is against diversity anyway? Is deporting illegals like Obama did anti-diversity? No. Why would they decide to make put the word diversity on the poster? Oh right, to give off the impression someone was against it.

It even goes so far as saying "we the people defend diversity" like they are fighting some political battle against someone. I can't imagine who that could be though. :lol:

Hell you say. For all you know they've been there since Reagan.
And there's nothing political about them. 'Politics' doesn't mean everything that happens in society.

Because the phrase "we the people" isn't political. That doesn't appear in any document anywhere...nope.

Need help remembering?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

I do like the irony that has been set up for conservatives to now reflexively whine about "feeling offended" now that liberals have set that standard. It's like when Christian organizations demand a public space for Christian displays then whine when they realize that you must include all religious ideaologies when given public access.

Bullcrap. That thinking was perfected by the right. Until there's a left-wing equivalent of Joe McCarthy and HUAC, that kind of thought censorship is the property of the right whinge. Just that others said, "Oh, is that how it's gonna be? Okay..."

When you attempt to fight beliefs you don't like by silencing them rather than debate and free thought, you lose your chance to complain when it happens to you.

So Trump is against diversity? That's what you seem to be saying.

No, I said nothing of the sort. What I said is that no one is against diversity, but the creator of that poster wants the audience to think there is. Some evil doer somewhere is out to destroy diversity and we must stand together as a people and defend it against their attacks!

Especially when the writer of the story is so blatant in her own prejudice.

Back to back paragraphs in the story:

After taking the posters down, the teachers were initially allowed to put them up again. But the administration did some further investigation online and determined that the posters could be seen as political. The school does not allow teachers to put up political posters in their classrooms “unless it’s part of a curriculum and they represent both sides,” Gaddis said. (The story was first reported by the Carroll County Times.)

President Donald Trump took office vowing to crack down on immigration and ban Muslims from traveling to the United States, promises that he has already tried to fulfill. His administration is also stacked with anti-immigration hard-liners, and his campaign won early support from prominent white nationalists, whom Trump has unconvincingly sought to disavow.​

The "crack down on immigration" and 'ban Muslims from traveling' without including "illegal" with immigration and "temporary" with the travel ban are blatantly dishonest. No reason to believe she reported anything else honestly either.
