WALES, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin school board voted in favor of a policy that prohibits teachers and staff from displaying gay pride flags and other items that district officials consider political in nature.
The Kettle Moraine School Board voted Tuesday to keep a code of conduct in place that the superintendent recently interpreted as forbidding district employees from displaying political or religious messages, including pride flags, and Black Lives Matter and We Back the Badge signs. Staff also may not say in emails what their preferred pronouns are.
Superintendent Stephen Plum recently told the board that the district’s interpretation of a policy that prohibits staffers from using their positions to promote partisan politics, religious views and propaganda for personal, monetary or nonmonetary gain changed following a legal analysis.
Jim Romanowski was the only board member to vote against the ban, saying he changed his mind about the policy after hearing from students and staff.

IHOP?
😁
I’m glad this school board could be courageous enough to do that. Most think if you don’t fly the flag, you must hate the cause. The bigger issue is that such divisive, political topics should not have any permanent flags up at all.
Stick to the 3 ‘R’s.
That battle begins in small things...................
This will cause an international freak-out.
That is a nice win.
Mmmm.... Pancakes.
Yeah, no kidding.
I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t allow an Israeli flag. Why
should they allow the pride flag?
“Why
should they allow the pride flag?”
Woke privilege. Aka, marxist useful idiots. They got a good thing going, usually. Rs normally too cowardly to resist.
This is very, very, good!
Could you imagine if a teacher flew the Christian flag? Heads would explode. (Or you could be cryptic and fly the Union Jack or the Colonial flag.)
Damn! A school district with adults in charge? Whoever heard of such a thing?
I agree.
Yes, I know.
It sure does.... Superintendent Stephen Plum's decision to back this has opened the door for him to become the most recruited Supt in the country.... he can name his own price
From the article: “If you have a policy that says ‘nothing political,’ does that mean you can’t have a sign up that says, ‘Support our Troops,’ or ‘Believe Women’ or ‘Save the Planet?’ By some people’s definitions, all of those things are political,” said Christine Donahoe, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin.
Exactly! Think of “Support Our Troops” during the 1960s, “Believe Women” during the Kavanaugh hearings, etc.
The problem with people like this is that they think everyone agrees with those slogans so they are innocuous, but no, people disagree with those as well.
Sometimes they are extremely annoying!
Maybe this train wreck is looking for the tracks again.
“Imagine that. Some actual sanity for a change. I hope it’s a trend.”
It is a trend that is moving in our direction.
In my locality, liberals pushed through BLM & FagPride Flags with a 4-3 vote 2 years ago. The kooks & crazies had this nonsense draped all over the local high school.
The superintendent got his ass canned by the school board. The board is now 7-0 conservative after the last 2 trouble making liberals resigned.
Doom & gloomers on Free Republic hate this kind of information because it goes against their:
“We can’t win nuffin attitude.”
Chode is always on the job!
😁
thx, funny if it weren’t true
