    The moment we present a political or personal belief we violate the law … the color of the hands is crossing the political boundary.

    Attorney General Raúl Labrador later issued guidance stating the “Everyone Is Welcome Here” poster violated the law. In an opinion published on the attorney general’s website and in an op-ed for Fox News, Labrador described the poster as “DEI messaging disguised as inclusion” that "mask[s] a comprehensive worldview that undermines parental authority over children’s moral development.

    That’s just fucked up. This guy believes that telling children those who don’t look like them should be welcome is bad.

      What the fuck does that even mean? Teachers are undermining a parent’s authority to tell their kids to hate people because of the color of their skin or other differing things?

        that’s exactly what that means. they want parents to teach kids racism and don’t want teachers to undo that. :(

        It means they want de-integration. Policies like this are essentially revenge against civil rights policies set in the 60s by white nationalists still mad about their “heritage”.

      Even the idea that “the color of the hands is crossing the political boundary” is disgusting.

      Would like to see an alternative poster…

      Just like this one, but “NOT Everyone is welcome here”, and one of the hands has a Nazi armband, and that one has a circle with a line thru it.

      Would that be too “political”?

        They’ve gotten upset at “ICE not welcome here” with hotels barring them from staying or stores barring access to washrooms.

        So… Yeah probably.

          It’s ironic because they want the return to Jim Crow while at the same time being refused service by shops.

    Uh, according to the overwhelming evidence in your fucked up third world country, everyone is most definitely NOT welcome.

      I wonder if putting up that sign (not everyone is welcome) with a few people in flowing white robes would be considered 👌Okkk

    It’s a shame that boycotting the same country multiple times doesn’t increase the impact each time.
