A ban on teachers displaying Pride materials in classrooms or writing their pronouns in email signatures will remain in place in a Wisconsin public school district following a contentious board meeting

The prohibition is based on Kettle Moraine School District's decade-old policy that bans"partisan politics, sectarian religious views, or selfish propaganda." The new interpretation also bans teachers from putting their preferred pronouns in their email signatures."We're in a world where politics are highlighted, and it puts people in uncomfortable positions," superintendent Stephen Plum said in a July board meeting where the guidelines were first announced.

So wrong. Medieval attitudes 😒

People do not need your flag or your 'coded' initials to indicate what you prefer in your bedroom. We don't care!!!!! And we don't want it in our faces. You are are narcissists.

Ridiculous

Great work, I hope it catches fire around the country!

Class rooms are not place to promote hyper sexual politics. Religion & politics should be strictly kept away from schools.

Good.

Go Wisconsin, a model to follow by the other states.

That should be all accross the country teachers should only teach the basics not about them or what they believe period!!

RantyAmyCurtis So, who will host Reliable Souses now?

Good as it should

Good. Keep your personal shit to yourselves. You're there to teach.

Maybe focus on teaching, worry about their - they ‘s bulkshit on their own time

Because when you cant enact policies that will actually help the majority...attack the minority.

I'm not sure why turning what you like to do in the bedroom into a calling card became a thing. I don't care what you do in your bedroom. I don't make flags based upon what I like to do in the bedroom.

Wisconsin School District: No Preferred Pronouns In Emails, No Pride Flags, No BLMKettle Moraine School District is banning 'political' messaging from the classroom, but what they say counts as political has the community pushing back hard. Steven Plum of Kettle Moraine School District = based. Good for him. “what happens when administrators think that issues like identity, equality, and diversity are political?“ They are political. When males identify as female or people are told they are racist and unfairly privileged simply because of their skin color, it’s political.
