I wish they were wrong that it was a big political or ideological divide, but here we are.
Kind of telling on themselves here, right? If “everyone is welcome” is an “ideology”, kinda indicates the person labeling as such is against it. I say this because the societal norms on paper for every major philosophy or ideology would be in favor of that idea, and if it strikes you as staking a claim to something new, it probably took some mental effort to get to that conclusion. Would “be kind” be ideology? Technically yes I guess it is, but I doubt these people would be pissed about it and call it out like this. Are they asking for those cat posters saying “hang in there” to be taken down? That’s preaching the “ideology” of persistence.
They don’t want ‘everyone’ … they just want ‘white christian people of european descent’
When you are a brown person, the messaging from these asshats is always the same racist bullshit we’ve heard for hundreds of years
I’m talking about what they preach, not what they practice.

The Italians, and to a lesser extent the Irish, are mostly Catholic, which doesn’t really count a Christian, and therefore they don’t actually count as white.
They just called out “everyone is welcome here” and you think they WOULDN’T take issue with “be kind”?
I think that one they wouldn’t admit to because it pre-dates the reading of anything about equality as referring to their out-groups.
So it’s the next sign to hang up going to read "not everyone is welcome here? ".
Sorta reminds me of the “No Lives Matter” posters featuring Cthullu. What used to seem comically bad and absurd is now being passed into law.
God Republican Christians are such cunts.
Devil Republican Christians are even worse, trust me.
Ban rightwingers from living & breathing. Only way to get a better world for people with compassion
must consider whether the displayed flag or banner illustrates or shows someone’s opinion, emotions, beliefs, or thoughts regarding politics, economics, society, faith, or religion.”
So that means nothing about Christianity then, right?
No no no. You can’t curtail HIS free speech!
No. Bible in every backpack, forced morning prayer and flag salute is the law now. rules for thee but not for me
And no USian flag either
No pledges of allegiance in the morning then.
“not like that”
Remember when schools were having a War On Christmas and removing all signs on Christianity and Christmas displays? So much that South Park made strawmen of the schools to make fun of. Pure projection.
I’m pretty sure Jesus would be on board with the “everyone is welcome” message.
Pretty sure if Jesus came back today conservative evagenlicals would send him to a concentration camp
Actual Jesus would be in CECOT by now.
Given the demographic they are going after, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out that a few people named Jesus got sent to CECOT already
I think they would have just murdered him again, tbh.
Although when Jesus comes back he’s supposed to be wrathful, so he’d probably kill all the Christians who use his name for hate as his first act.
Not exactly wrathful, more like, he shows up when there’s a lot of ambient wrath going on. Mainly he just resurrects all who died in faith and sets up a judgment throne.
And he won’t kill them, just they don’t get heaven. The sheep and goats judgment. The section that “What you have done to the least of those, you have done to me” comes from there.
Honestly I think the existential suffering brought about by realizing that they have no place in heaven after a lifetime of religious lip service is FAR more poignant than any death could be
Not that most lemmings think this is anything more than a long repeated fairy tale, granted
He needs to hurry the fuck up and stop taking the scenic route back.
While there are zero prophecies left to be fulfilled, AND like five of them have been fulfilled in the last decade, if there is a supernatural Jesus to come back, we still have a long way to go to match the worldwide suffering seen in Revelations before Jesus’s return.
Time for the sartre quote again.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
The assholes know what they are doing. They know they are hypocritical. They don’t care. You cannot engage in conservatives/anti-semites/fascists/et al with reason because they will not argue in good faith. They are bad people. Selfish, fearful, people.
Seems to me like flags are usually political and/or ideological in nature… That’s, like, one of the main reasons we use flags at all. The US flag is political, the Idaho flag is political, banners that say “Merry Christmas” are gonna have to be left out of schools, even “Happy Birthday” is going to read like religious favoritism to someone like a Jehovah’s Witness. Especially if the Christofascist snowflakes can’t even be bothered to put up with “Everybody is welcome here”. Why would anyone else feel inclined to put up with their shit?
flag 1
[flag] Phonetic (Standard) IPA noun
a piece of cloth, varying in size, shape, color, and design, usually attached at one edge to a staff or cord, and used as the symbol of a nation, state, or organization, as a means of signaling, etc.; ensign; standard; banner; pennant.Simple - they’re not going to enforce this when it comes to Christianity or nationalism.
Time to fly high the flag of the proud Island of Lesbos.
WTF is the pledge of allegiance supposed to be when it says “under god” in it? How come we can’t ban bibles and qurans from school? What are they?
Never understood how so many people just blindly stood and recited and the pledge in school. I stopped after 5th grade when I started to realize how fucked the system is
I mean, it is ideological, like saying “All men are equals” or “Eating healthy leads to a longer life”. I wish people would just come out and say what they really mean. Are the same teachers striving for a classroom where not everyone is equal?
It’s the politicians who are striving for a classroom where not everyone is equal.
Although, teachers probably consider themselves more equal than their students.
Very Jesusy.
Fine. “Everyone except Evangelical Christians are welcome here.”
I’d phrase it differently. “Bigots not welcome, Everyone else has a home here.”
When are we giving France their statue back?
seems overdue at this point, especially with the extremely hateful poem on it /s
Ideas in school are bad mmkay
Good! If Jesus were RESURRECTED Today we would NOT want Him seeing such FILTH as “Everyone Is Welcome Here”!
Jesus was a Palestinian Jew. If He were present among us today, ICE would disappear Him to El Salvador (which is kind of ironic…)
A Palestinian Jew advocating socialism. They’d kill him on the spot.
I think you meant to say that the IDF would shoot him as he tried to get aid.
It depends on where He spawned
He wasn’t arguably lucky the first time. Spawning in Palestine the second time is a CJ meme at this point.
*except nazis.
Needed edits anyway.
It is ideological…
That is what school is in part
