NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

Not, exactly, a rainbow . . . but the OUTRAGE!!!1111!!! is stupid none the same,

I’m no theologian, but isn’t the rainbow supposed to be a sign of the continuing covenant with God? Soooo, why not interpret rainbows that way, not froth at the mouth about ‘groomers’ and ‘woke?’

I know, I know. Perpetual outrage.

Proctor said this couldn’t have greatly influenced the drawings without teachers promoting a “radical, woke agenda.”

Or, maybe it’s because people won’t shut the fuck up about it. Even if you’re just screaming about how bad they are, it just means these kids you’re trying to ‘protect’ are hearing about it that much more.
It’s like DARE, but about gay people instead of drugs.

I don’t think there’s much room for interpretation WRT what it’s representing.
It says “gay lesbian pan trans everyone is welcome” and Every student can be “in the LGBTQ+/Trans-gender”

These fuckers can’t imagine a 4th grader with two mothers or two fathers.

They only way a 4th grader would learn about the issue of LGBTQ is if they’re being groomed?

This is really starting to piss me off.

It helps if one remembers that the word “groom”, in all it’s variations, no longer means what it used to when certain folks use it.

And that’s very much on purpose. The GOP has said, outloud, that it purposely expands word definitions to the point that they’re meaningless, then they use it to get their base worked up. We’ve seen it with grooming, we’ve seen it with CRT, we’ve seen it with woke. It’s what they do.

Also, IIRC, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has asked them to stop using it incorrectly because it’s making their job, of educating people about actual groomers/grooming, a lot more difficult.

As an owner of a dog grooming salon, it actually worries me a little.

And just how, precisely, are you “bfriending” them?

What a beastially intriguing question.

They hate being reminded of the commandment “love your neighbor”.

Of course the Qliban doesn’t care about anything that shows the deity they purportedly adore displaying anything other than violence. Putting a positive spin on the rainbow just doesn’t parse with them.

UPDATE: Apparently there has been sufficient backlash against these troglodytes that they have withdrawn their proposal. Too bad all Republicans can’t be shamed as easily.

Are you old enough to remember the '70s? People were putting these little arched-rainbow stickers on their car windows. It was a symbol primarily used by Christians, to represent “jehovallah’s covenant” as expressed by the rainbow that Noah’s family saw after the flood.

IOW, the Christian types are furious that those filthy LGBT perverts stole their thingy.

“Have his lawyers call our lawyers.”

Now that sounds Iike a heist film!

Where’s He gonna find one?

Sounds like a default judgement to me. :smile:

The Tennessee House has passed a bill allowing clerks to refuse marriage licenses to interracial or interfaith couples.
