Wisconsin school board bans teachers, staff from displaying Pride flags

The rule forbids district employees from displaying political or religious messages, including Pride and Black Lives Matter flags. We Back the Badge signs are also prohibited.

Staff is not allowed to state in emails what their preferred pronouns are. More than 130,000 people have signed an online petition against the rule.

I'm on the fence . I get the employer being able to some point mandating employees but the students should be free to state their opinions and stances . If I grew up in a time when the right or left could completely control my thoughts I'd be half the man I am today 🤔

Who cates, politics has no business in the classroom. We need to be concerned about Illinois and not Wisconsin. Better yet this should be implemented here in Illinois.

THE VET MEDICAL CENTER RECOGNIZE THE GAY COMMUNITY EVERY YEAR by putting up the flag! Wtf!!

I believe this is awesome. As the song says, 'teachers, leave the kids alone'. School is a safe place for ALL kids.

Good.

Maybe CBC CHICAGO should worry about Chicago schools.....

This tweet is soooo misleading and actually a straight up lie. Not saying I agree with it but they’ve banned everything from both sides. Probably in a bad attempt to stay neutral. But this is why media gets a bad name. Reporting only on 1 side

What's the problem? No politics for public employees while on the job.

Convinced America doesn’t care about their youth nor listen to its own laws

Wouldn’t expect any less though.

Nice 👍

CBS giving us Wisconsin news. When there’s plenty of news to talk about in actual CHICAGO.

Relevance in Chicago?

🎉 Inappropriate venue for anything sexual. People need to leave their sex lives at home no one brings her kids to school for that crap

mAGa

Why didn’t you list the others? 😆
