It is certainly political speech, but it has no connection to hate at all. It's time to stand up against those who would introduce 1984's NewSpeak in place of English.

Not hate speech.
And I’m all for them finding some other image for their logo.
Preferably an image children are not naturally drawn to.
Sure. Got it.
`Anti-gay’ sticker: “MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN”
Or....”HETEROSEXUALITY IS NATURAL AND NORMAL”
Or....”CHILDREN SHOULD BE RAISED BY A MOTHER AND A FATHER”
Faggies will gnash their gums over those.
With the continuing drought in California, there is NO RAIN to produce a RAINBOW!!!

I suppose that will be called hate speech. There has been no freedom of speech in the USA for at least 40 years.
Turn it around. If someone came to school with a sticker saying “No White People” would you consider it free speech or hate speech? If you would consider it free speech then where is this sticker any different?
The anal intercourse crowd has hijacked another symbol/word.
Rainbows were good.
the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow
- Unicorns & rainbows
- Hello Kitty
- Beautiful rainbow after a rain.
What the "culture" of perversion has selected isn't Sex - but the abomination of nature and the worship of themselves; and that, per Romans 1:25+, has never increased the fitness of any Human culture.
>>if a progressive does it, it’s free speech
Yep. It’s interesting how “progressives” have to resort to manufacturing perception to facilitate their social engineering, while Conservatism simply seeks to discover and preserve the Truth.
“Hate speech” is bogus from the get-go. It’s a confection spun from the concept of “hate crime” which also is a recent fabrication.
When such legislation was first proposed. conservatives fought against the idea of tacking on sexuallly-, racially- or ethnically-based “hate crime” penalties on top of criminal charges, arguing rightly that assault is assault, murder is murder, etc., regardless of ethnicity or sex or religion of victim and perpetrator.
Further, hate crime laws, we said, would create defined victim and perpetrator classes. IOW, blacks will always be victims, whites can never be, because of slavery. Etc etc.
Conservatives argued that the net effect would be more inequality, not less. Guilt determined by facts is cast aside in favor of guilt determined by group membership.
And we were right. All predictions have come true, and more.
Once the “hate crime” nonsense got enacted into law, the progressives immediately began conflating that to include “hate speech.”
They want you to believe that if you dare criticize behavior or disagree with the ideology of any defined victim group, you are now guilty of a CRIME and must be punished.
They know they’re lying. Oppositional speech is not a crime. That’s why they always try to instigate a physical assault—to raise it to the level of an actual crime—and, failing that, they’ll stage a hoax event to falsely accuse their opponents.
We must refuse to be intimidated by these tactics and start turning the tables. Charge THEM with violating everyone else’s Constitutional rights.
Consevatives also need to stop begging for “hate crime” laws to protect us, too. Those laws were never Constitutional in the first place, and need to be thrown out.
“...we can’t do anything until these students start to physically harass us”
She’s revealing her victimhood mentality. She wants to be harassed, so she can complain and further her agenda.
