    Well first I would learn how to quote correctly, you have only been here for like 10 years.

    At my sons school we can and do state that.

    What I would call it is ignorance.

    For example LGTB community uses LGTB to describe itself.

    Leasbian
    Gay
    Trans
    Bi

    Someone correct me, but Bi means two correct? Occurrence of 2. So I just follow there own definition on that matter, so it’s two.

    Evidently you have not paid attention to the court case about the kids t shirt. Germ if you do not see the issues with the school systems controlling students free speech, you are part of the probem. I am sure your wife told you that does not happen but we know it is BS

    Let's do it! Only scary thing is the dissenters opinions. Openly stating they believe they can override the Constitution as activist justices.

    Well, it does at her school, I was talking about my son's school, different schools, and different views, and only 8 miles apart.

    I believe I said it was ignorance and yes I saw that and just shook my head. Why any parent would put their kid in the middle of this mess is beyond me. It's their right to do so, so I would send them some cheddar for a gogundme if they took it to court.

    There is that pesky definition of free speech. Am I going to get all worked up about it, no, lots of golf to play and my Nike's are just getting broken in.

    Freedom of speech includes the right:
    • Of students to wear black armbands to school to protest a war (“Students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate.”).
      Tinker v. Des Moines, 393 U.S. 503 (1969).
    In this case, they have a chance to win, I believe.

    Doesn't matter...it won't stop geofencing, won't stop use of the shadows that wifi casts, won't stop the geopositioning/triangulation your phone/router offers, on and on...

    Teachers openly do whatever the hell they want to in school. So what's the difference if a school kid wants to wear something offensive? They are letting protesters run amuck and do all kinds of criminal things all in the name of freedom of expression.... yet a school age kid can't wear certain things in school Or they may offend someone. What a joke.

    Please direct me to one of those schools in Michigan so I can get my wife a job there, the BS she puts up with on what she can and can't do is crazy.

    I've been around plenty of them. Activism all over their classroom walls, how they speak to their classes about political topics, how they grade kids whose opinions differ from their own. Colleges are even worse. State colleges using taxpayer money are even worse. I didn't make that comment to trounce teachers bc I respect teachers. I'm just being honest. Adults in the schools run around and spout off their political agendas and opinions, yet when some kid wants to express their strong opinions/wear a shirt, then they are censored. Let's just open the flood gates of human expression. That's what the left wants...wide open society with no boundaries. Let's let it rip. A bunch of people can cry themselves to sleep.

    the White House are trying to say Brandon wears a ventilator
    but after seeing the way Jill Biden planted one on Kamala's husband, I'm going with the kink fetish ball gag during a partner swapping session

    What do you suppose happened first. Conservative parents decided to get more activly involved, or the parents are sick of the agenda of the public education system? Show me school districts where test scores are going up to prepandemic levels, and even before covid America's public education has an agenda that is being pushed, and nobody is holding them accountable for measures of success that are lacking. Go back to basics just teach without an agenda, your sexuality is not your identity if you are a profession educator.

    I would like to come back with cops who are all power-hungry chumps because all the ones I have been around are that way, but I can't they are all good people, perhaps you need to hang out with different folks.

    I'm not hanging out with anyone, I'm merely observing my surroundings. If a pro Repub kid strongly expresses his or her view they are way more likely to be targeted than the reverse.

    That I understand. Obviuosly if I want my weather they have to know where I am. If I want to Google my land I realize I have to access satellite images with at least general location info. I can though, stop access to views in my home or any place else when carrying a devise camera. Painters tape just comes off easy when I do want to take a pic. Now knowing it would still be possible to ease drop ,why any entity would wish to is beyond me. That said I some times purposefully unload on a devise hoping that someone is...lol

    As to your point, I do understand that I made broad based claims that are probably not accurate. I hear you. I'm just tired of free speech suppression and using one's authority to advance an agenda.
