    Idaho 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.”

    This is an argument that the message is not the message. That the offense lies, not in what the poster says, but in what the poster does not say. This is an accusation of a thought crime.

    Labrador argues that the sign is political because of its rainbow colors. You can read his op-ed here.

      The Idaho Democratic Party now even sells these posters and has embraced the message as their cause — making clear that even if this message was not originally intended as political, it undeniably is now. A teacher’s claimed ignorance of political connections does not render illegal displays suddenly lawful.

      Yeah, buddy. They became political because YOU made it political.

        “DEI messaging disguised as inclusion”

        …the fuck?

        “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” messaging is somehow disguised as…inclusion? Someone please tell me what I’m missing here.

      Sweet Jesus…

      What Trump’s administration recognized as dangerous enough to ban from federal agencies and K-12 schools through executive order has been quietly spreading through classrooms nationwide.
