What kind of monster is against trying to make kids feel welcome?
Universal schooling is also part of an ideology so guess we gotta throw out the kit and caboodle
The ideology? "Kids are welcome in the classroom."
Did the IDF put them up to this or something?
In my lifetime we're bringing back segregation.
It’s been like 40 years since it was formally abolished, there’s millenials who were alive during seggregation while people pretend we live in a post racial society
if you were in your 70s you would have seen it go away (on paper), go away (mostly in reality), then come back again in your lifetime
Samuel Alito voice* - "Brown v Board of Education did not—"
Uh, oh.

*Or Clarence Thomas voice or in any of the GOP justice voices
“Be nice” is not only a political statement these days, but it’s a highly unpopular political statement.
I fucking hate Americans.
Fuckin' hell, Roadhouse is too Woke for the modern right-wing now?
Why does Idaho have one of the highest population growth rates in the country?
Without googling - my wild guess is the biggest thing is that the cost of living - probably rent in particular - is lower than the national average. Also - politics play into it but how much I don't know.
The American Redoubt is a political migration movement first proposed in 2011 by survivalist novelist and blogger James Wesley Rawles which designates Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming along with eastern parts of Oregon and Washington, as a safe haven for conservative Christians. Rawles chose this area due to its low population density and lack of natural hazards.
I've had the following bookmark for at least a year. My plan was to read it later.
Living With The Far-Right Insurgency In Idaho
A radical GOP faction, in open alliance with extremists, is seizing power and targeting its opponents with cruelty. Some wonder: Is it time to leave?

Just to add on to this because this is a good response: the chart is showing it as a % change and Idaho is ranked 37th in population with 2 million. The #1 spot is California with around 40 million so for Idaho to see an increase of 1.5%, only 0.075% of Californians would need to move there.
Anecdotally, I know of cases of Californians moving to most of the states nearby, except the PNW. I don’t think it’s crazy to see that bump in Idaho as a result of the chuds and petite bourgeois exodus from the west coast neo lib regime.
I think a big problem is if politics is involved polling can be questionable. I bet a lot of right-wing people lie to pollsters. So they if they say they moved to Idaho for "the climate" or the "lower cost of living" - that might be a white lie or a bigger lie. The MSM is addicted to polling because it generates ez clicks (and pageviews) plus polling is fast, easy, and cheap. The MSM tends not to have local reporter investigative journalism because that's far slower, far harder, and more complex.
We're a right-wing country. This place is infested with fascists. sigh
Something something no panic when all according to plan.
Fascists running most of the country? No one bats an eye. But one mayor in a city just thinks working class people are getting ripped off? Well then everyone loses their minds.
Yeah, it's literally just about money. "Can I afford it?" means it's not even really about choosing where to live. It's just a last resort to avoid homelessness.
