What absolute moron is running that school district?

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 33 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Is it possible they are hoping it gets attention to show how stupid the law is?

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

perhaps, but that's also cruel...

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah but it's a hope that perhaps it's a little less cruel overall than the thought that this one kid is being tortured for no reason at all.

I would guess they're just trying really hard to avoid triggering Trump's wrath. A discrimination lawsuit is comparatively small to the devastation you can get from running afoul of the most powerful dictator in history

Not only could the school and state potentially lose all federal education funding, but Trump may go after the school administrators personally. He's been rather successful lately at going after anyone he disagrees with. Political opponents like Comey and Bolton. Judges like the Oregon one that blocked the National Guard deployments, or the immigration judges that refused to simply dismiss asylum cases without hearing them. Even just random individuals that happen to be negatively mentioned on Fox News have been increasingly under extra-judicial attack by the president

America is now a nation by, and for, Trump

This is the moment that the district admins were waiting for their whole life. It's their chance to stand against AOC's liberal woke agenda trying to infiltrate their district with this student. Not on their watch. They'll hold these troublemaker Demon-rats in line. Anyone who stands in their way is obviously a part of the global Anti-Israeli Gay Marxist Communist Muslim Antifa Jewish Space Laser Council that wants everyone eating crickets. It's allll a conspiracy. Every part of it!! They hate us for our freedom!!! (/s)
