If the notion of inclusion is "political" that must mean that the notion of exclusion is the "political" positon that is being protected here.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 67 points 1 month ago

Yes.

Uniformity, Inequity, Exclusion.

I really hope the pendulum swings the other way in the future and we become the most Woke society imaginable.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 1 month ago

It won't. To do so will require checks community instance server really big peaceful marches and flag waving.

Historically, every time there's been a push towards progress, there's also been a push back by all the cockroaches that consider tradition the ultimate model for self expression, which is where we are now. Usually after some violent struggle of a variety, the progress wins out eventually. Hopefully this is not an exception, but we might not see it in our lifetime.

[-] jwmgregory@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

no, this is a classic fallacy in historiography.

things don’t just happen. we have to choose to do them, first.

your thesis ignores… every single time in history progress didnt “win out.”

saying “progress wins out eventually” is unfalsifiable because the only true constant in this universe is change. you’re like, not technically wrong but the statement is so detached from the human experience as to be meaningless. this type of analysis isn’t welcome in academia for a reason.

in other words. get out there, there’s work to do!

Which 'political viewpoint' is this exactly?

[-] AlbertSpangler@lemmings.world 22 points 1 month ago

The one that probably disagrees with the US governments pro concentration-camp agenda. And so as an opinion that differs from the government view, it must be blocked, because freedom

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 12 points 4 weeks ago

It's against one. Just like they demonize "Antifa".

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Against one? It doesn't say political party A not welcome, it says everyone

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 4 weeks ago

Yes... That's the point. It's neutral, positive, inclusive, accepting. And that's counter to a political viewpoint (not party) that doesn't accept everyone.

[-] homura1650@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Tolerance, inclusivity, and integration.

To put this into perspective, the legal fact that "everyone"[0] is welcome in a given public school was not established until 1954 with Brown v Board of Education. And segregationists lost there mind over this.

In 1957, president Eisenhower had the 101st airborne division invade Little Rock High School, after Arkansas deployed it's national guard to block black students from entering.

[0] In terms of race. Restricting access to schools based on home address remains common, and has ended being used as a way to effectively segregate schools without violating Brown.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Ah, you kooky Americans. I just find it absurd that basic human empathy is considered a 'political viewpoint'. I guess if it is, then everything is. What does the word 'political' even mean any more?

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Literally everything is fcking political, and not knowing this is some uneducated shit.

READING IS POLITICAL. Access to resources is political. EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL.

I'd love for YOU to define what "political" means bc I'm sure you don't know.

There is a government and inherent politics to every human dynamic. Two strangers meeting in the desert form a government between them, by communicating what will and wont happen (ie laws), and that communication is adaptive. Meaning, as the communications and laws are understood, we then make changes to our government based on current events. Those communications themselves, how they are communicated, and the later consequences and adaptations, are politics. Your existence as a human is politics. You eating is politics. You writing online is politics. And it shapes your life and your government and community. How do you not intrinsically know this?

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 10 points 4 weeks ago

You must be a real hoot at parties.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

I refuse to be performative in my speech. Go police another woman.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 4 weeks ago

I misspoke. You clearly don't get invited to parties.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago
[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 4 weeks ago

Now, now. No need to be so political.

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Lol! Thanks, I needed that!

[-] uberdroog@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago

I mean it is false advertising

Inama went on to argue that messages of inclusion are not political, especially when both state and federal law dictate that public schools must accept all children and cannot discriminate.

“To say that ‘Everyone is Welcome’ in a public school system is not political, it’s the law,” Inama said.

Inclusive sayings aren’t new to public schools, Inama noted. Back when she was a student, signs that read things like “All are Welcome” or “Everyone is Welcome” were a common way to encourage kids to feel safe and welcome and therefore ready to learn.

“It’s all over the place. It’s not a political opinion, it’s a pretty common message,” Inama said

Sounds like the times are trying to change the common message. Laws are already changing to be discriminatory as we speak.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago

Gee, now we get to discover that EVERYTHING is political

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago

Just call it a religious symbol.

The AG is correct that lies shouldn't be posted in schools.
