  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Texas first grader traumatized by poster of "different colored children holding hands"; school trustee works to remove such 'ideology' from classrooms

Short answer, no.

Long answer, I think the one I posted upthread matches the words that the trustee literally said pretty well. But I have no way of knowing if it was the actual poster in question.

We also have no explanation for why it was so horrid. Or any good reason to trust the source of the complaint.

The Supreme Court ruled decades ago that artistic expression of all forms was considered speech under the First Amendment, and as such could not be suppressed or coerced by the government. This Court ruled that website design was artistic expression.

Note: "Artistic expression" would not include catalog and off-the-shelf items.

Expressing yourself by putting up a poster seems pretty obvious to be speech.

So regarding such a big story, 4 days, and 7 pages, later, we still really don't know what this is all about?

Investigative journalism just isn't what it used to be.

It's probably because the person in question never demonstrated their claim about the trauma true or showed the actual poster.

Children are being indoctrinated to believe people of all races can be Americans.

So how a "safe" poster should look like? We should only see Native Americans in there?

If thieving conquerors and formers slaves can also be Americans then we can add blacks and whites and everybody else in there.

People like you. Those endlessly going on and on about how people are looking to corrupt the chidden to the extent that we have to ban posters about people of different races holding hands.
"People Like You"?

Your false claims are a direct personal attack, in falsely suggesting I'm corrupting children or supporting such

Reading comprehension is important.

I did not suggest that. I meant you are a person who promotes conservative moral panic narratives.

As evidenced by your posts. It's not a personal attack either just an observation of your behavior.

Your claim is false and a personal attack once again, "Truth7t7 promotes Conservative Moral Panic Narratives"?

That doesn't belong to me, and your behavior speculation and assumption is wrong

I mean if people can be traumatized by a poster of people of different races holding hands I think the lady doth protest too much.
If you are talking about me I am not protesting anything

Citation please.

Its common knowledge with parents going into school boards, I couldnt post the videos of parents reading the filth in them even the school board cut off their mics when they read what their children had in their libraries.

It's fairly easy to give some way of finding the information you are talking about.

Which means a basic google search was unsuccessful.

It's what the thread is about. The lady in that analogy though is the people who are very worried about some school posters.
Well then I agree with you there, being triggered over something innocent was my point while folks like her would likely be okay with the other perverted stuff

You could just google (I use duckduckgo, for less censorship) the words, " parents read PQRN school board" just drop the letter Q and replace with O. You should see some from various states, from Florida, Georgia etc. There was one with a young boy reading what he was subject to.

I find it difficult to give someone a way to finding information. Like if you are talking PQRN the word itself is censored here and "inappropriate content" isnt going to convey what it is I am talking about when the word is censored. On the otherhand I also dont have a facebook account so I cant even look in, and Twitter (now X) where I used to find some of the better links/info in various sources has shut me out with a "page not working too many redirects" which started soon after Tucker Carlson moved from Fox to Twitter strangely enough. I think they want people to have an account? You cant post anything you find on BlT-Chute because the links there get censored here and if you use tiny ulr to post to there (to get around that) you will get a strike here for any inappropriate side bar videos that show up on the right side (like they do over at youtube). You can get a Youtube t embed without that sidebar but you cant on that platform and I find the whole thing crazy. And I dont know how to post a video that is supposedly over at instagram or Tik tok because I have no instagram, tik tok or any other accounts. I have to go to Gab social because they are the only platform not censoring and often have some great info. Gab doesnt block people who do not have a membership but I think this place might have a bird if I linked to Gab.

Are you allowed to link to a video of a child before a school board complaining about dirt books in the library where the child is reading the perversion? Will I get a warning by posting a living example of something like that?

Why would adults cut microphones off, so that other adults didn’t get upset?

Is this speculation; or do you have a link to support this claim?
