Yeah, but it triggers future homophobic, white incels!

The key in that phrase is “offended”. You see, right-wing parents get offended when brown people are welcomed.

On the surface, the policy sounds completely reasonable. That kind of thing is probably standard in most schools the world over.

What’s insane is that we’re at a point where “welcoming people” is offensive to somebody.

Or maybe more realistically, it’s easy to feign offence at a bland statement like that and be a bigot without being forced to say the quiet part out loud.

Also, isn't it the Republicans that love to plaster on a big punchable smirk and tell everyone they don't have a right to not be offended? I mean, in this, they are actually correct - people do have a free speech right to be absolute assholes in what they do and say, for the most part. Free speech does have its limits, yes, but if someone else gets offended, well....too bad. Free speech is there to protect speech others do not like and yes, that includes speech that will offend liberals.

But wow, the very second the right might have the least bit of offense - they think the government should step in.

See for example the actual political correctness they try to enforce around the rituals when a song plays at a sportsball event, or forcing kids to say "under god" while they force them to say the pledge at schools. Or about burning flags in protest, or a president they support being burned in effigy. Or trying to get their book club smuggled into schools. Or not genuflecting for "the troops", but only when there is a profitable war of aggression on the table, and so on. Or people not going out of their way to say, pointedly, "MERRY XMAS" (vs. the easy shorthand of Happy Holidays to cover both xmas and New Years, FFS. GD these babies are such whiners. Saying Happy Holidays was never a problem until these assholes had to act like it was some personal insult to them, even if they were just jagoffs that were only nominal xtians anyway. ) to these special snowflakes.

Apparently, they think they have the right to not be offended their entire fucking lives.

I was straight but I looked at this poster and now I'm queer. It really is that simple, a poster can make you LGBT.

Surprising that anyone other than an actual Albino would identify with the palest hands on that poster.

We need to ban the rainbow! Anyone who talks about, it takes pictures of, rainbows should be sent to concentration camps straight away! Rainbows do not exist. /s

They want their own children to be educated in private schools and by tutors not available to common people, and everyone else just educated enough to do their jobs and work for them.

Maybe a few scholarships especially targeted at a few poor "gifted" children, that produce false hope and additional shame if you can't be "good" enough for one of those scholarships.

Carlin:

You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they're coming for your Social Security money. They want your f**kin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street.

Very prescient, except for the fact that they'll soon be skipping over the worker part right to automation all up and down the line and there will not be any UBI for the "useless eaters".
