Good move. And what an awful mother that was involved in this case here, totally despicable human being who tried to double down and lost.

That mother is awesome.

The irony of the whole thing is that "Let's Go Brandon" is not remotely offensive and it's not actually a euphemism for what that crowd was actually chanting (which was totally justified). It's mocking how the liberal media tried to cover up what was actually being chanted.

I think a better school policy than trying to determine whether clothing is offensive or not would be just a closet ban on students wearing anything of a political nature at all. If the argument is that students don't have the full protection of the First Amendment when deciding what to wear to a public school (and I think that has a very weak legal basis TBH) and if a public school has the right to have a dress code, then let's just take judgment out of the equation and eliminate all political messaging on clothing.

Obviously it's a bit different as I work at an independent school but that's what we've done with our dress code. No political slogans/signs/etc of any kind.

Correct. And as a former independent school employee myself, I recognize that they can do things public schools can't because it's not the government making rules about what can and cannot be expressed.

That said, other than schools that enforce a uniform policy for students, I never saw the school I worked at be terribly restrictive on clothing, though the school as a whole had an extremely liberal faculty. However, we did have to do some rather dumb stuff over the years.

It was really the white privilege training sessions that rubbed the non-teaching staff the wrong way.

When people talk about how schools aren't trying to indoctrinate people on how to think, I just point to stuff like that.

Preaching to the choir here. We have done some form of white fragility training every year since I started. It's counterproductive at this point.

The lone good thing to come from a second Trump presidency is that I think the message got heard loud and clear that the majority of people are tired of that ****. I want people of all races, creeds, sexual preferences, and even the folks who think gender is a choice rather than a biological fact to have equal rights, equal access, equal opportunity, and for people to just stay out of policing how other people choose to live their lives if it's not hurting anybody else or violating a law that is reasonable and protects other people from dangerous conduct. But if someone is gonna tell me that it's my fault that non-white non-hetero folks are discriminated against just because I happened to have two white parents, then I have no interest in anything that person has to say about anything.
