I have a huge disdain for leftists, liberals, democrats, or whatever they are now. They seem to favor and obsess over radical social engineering, identity politics, and want to demonize or ostracize those who don't fall into their their woke nonsense. They are the type that cause you to lose your job or livelihood just because you used the wrong "pronoun". They are the ones who push for Critical Race Theory (CRT), DEI, and including schoolchildren in their wacko beliefs. They want to fund genital mutilation for kids and let illegal aliens roam freely without consequences. They want you to pay for abortions. They want you to foot the bill for migrants. Then, they want to throw the book at you if you are too persistent with women, claiming it is "harrassment" or "stalking" for staring more than a few seconds. These are crazy and rabid people who hate Christians and Jews but will roll out the red carpet for Muslims and anyone who isn't white.

Then you have the hard-core right, who loves police officers but shits on their firefighters and EMS personnel (at least here in my state). Fire and EMS is often treated second-class, is not considered much in legislation, and is disregarded in many situations. My state is one of only 10 that doesn't have enhanced penalties for assaulting a firefighter or EMT, but the recent "Back the Blue" Act enhanced these penalties for assaulting a cop, leaving out firefighters and EMTs with this legislation. 42 percent of fire departments in my state are classified by the state Fire Marshal's office as either "At-Risk" or "Distressed". There are no incentives for volunteers. There is no appeal process for sanctions against EMS personnel licenses, which can stem from a single complaint. My state also experiences an issue with hospital closures and infrastructure issues due to a large influx of new residents from out-of-state and lack of funding. The attitude of a lot of Republicans, sadly, is that if it doesn't affect them in the current mome

"Students do not shed their rights at the school house door". Chief Justice Earl Warren in Tinker vs DeMoines Central School District 1969 concerning the legality of students wearing black arm bands as a silent protest of the Vietnam War.

As a teacher I can SEE & EMPATHIZE with both sides BUT this is a "Fuck your feelings" issue for me; free, unfettered & robust protections for free speech are primary & paramount over some alleged potential "bullying".

I KNOW these kids. They DGAF & have a "live and let live" attitude. This is the PARENTS & SCHOOL BOARD getting involved where they don't need to be.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to hear a Massachusetts student's challenge to his middle school’s prohibition on his wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan “There are only two genders.”

The case arose from student Liam Morrison’s dispute with Nichols Middle School in Middleboroug. Lawyers for Morrison at the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal advocacy group, say students were “bombarded” with messages promoting the view “that sex and gender are self-defined, limitless, and unmoored from biology.”

Morrison believes that view is “false and harmful,” and he responded in March 2023 when he was in the seventh grade by wearing the T-shirt. After he was told to remove it, he later wore another shirt that said, “There are [censored] genders.”

Morrison was not punished for wearing the shirts, although he was told he could not wear them in class and was sent home when he refused to remove the first one.

This case presents an issue of great importance for our nation's youth: whether public schools may suppress student speech either because it expresses a viewpoint that the school disfavors or because of vague concerns about the likely effect of the speech on the school atmosphere or on students who find the speech offensive,".
