When I was in school, I never knew which of my classmates were gay. That is the way it should be.

Sure you did, or at least suspected.

Music teachers should stick to teaching music, not turn the classroom instruction into a discussion about sex, with minor school children.

It's still not the place of a music teacher to play psychologist, especially with minor children going thru puberty, about the topic of sex or their sexual relationships

Man,...if we saw this on the board when I was in school we would think nothing of it. It would just be,..ok,..this teacher is being nice.

But nowadays it's been loaded with so much woke baggage it's just cringe. It's like I know what you doing! lol. Stop recruiting allies! I ain't your virtue bot.
That's what has gone away. You would have likely thought, in addition to the teacher being nice, that, "Oh look at the pretty colors".

Now, to whom do we assign responsibility for a ****ing rainbow becoming a political statement?

He’s teaching in freaking Estill County, Kentucky, population 14,600 with more churches than gas stations, that voted 78.01% for Trump in 2020. Seriously, what did he think was going to happen?

Are there more churches than bars? That's a truer measurement than gas stations.

It’s a dry county. It not even moist, but bone dry. So, not a single legal bar in the entire county or even can of beer legally sold. The last referendum was in 2013 and it wasn’t even close.

He would have been fine had he left out the rainbow crap. Sigh. Honestly I don't think this is worth resigning over but why must activism like this keep being brought into the classrooms. Children are already groomed by all the modern cartoons and content produced today. It's like the propagandists have this fanatical urge to spread their dogma in every outlet to make sure nobody escapes seeing it. It's a fascinating look into human nature during late stage capitalism.

Looking at Wisconsin, the bar is right next to the church, and we're proud of it. How else are you going to get the football game on in time?

I find bringing up capitalism here to be intriguing.

Do we have other examples of Late-stage C where this sort of thing happens? How can we assign this woke surge a causal relationship to capitalism?

Does it have to do with just being a 'Free' Country? Doing relatively well( due to Capitalism) that we don't have any old school problems that we are privileged to entertain LGBTQ ones as a National effort?
