Central Bucks, you say?

I'm sure that will go over well with the investigation

Why are all the school boards in Bucks County full of the most deranged nutjobs

I swear I see a new article about some shit theyre up to every other week

As a teacher it makes me want to put up more pride stuff in my classroom

This is going to go very poorly for them... Saying they can't share political or social things... Someone is going to be going through their stuff with a fine toothed comb soon.... I guarantee it

Less than ten months until they have to face the voters.

What a lovely education those poor kids must get in a nazi camp like this

The ACLU is already looking into suing them.

Also, way to prepare your kids for the real world by sheltering them from complex topics and sheltering them.

I wasn't even thinking about the legal part of suing them.

I'm more talking about when parents push back against the school for trying to teach something only for it to go against this new ruling....

FYI, there's now no longer science in bucks county schools because Republicans see that as LGBTQ agenda. Can't teach history because it's political. Can't teach math because it's part of the Jewish agenda. Can't let kids play because that turns them trans or gay.

I think Republicans really just want Amish schools. And to make the kids work the fields.

I can't imagine why people continue to lean more left... With this kind of censorship going on.

Republicans in Central Bucks have traditionally been moderates. The 6 members of the ruling junta got elected on that premise and didn’t show their true colors until they had a majority. Three of the six will be up for reelection this year. Each is running in regions that Biden carried in 2020, so they are facing an uphill battle to stay in power.

Junta! I fookin love it!

Freedom! Freedom is not free.

Free to express your opinion. (Unless your opinion is in conflict w the religious beliefs of a school board official of a publicly funded school).

You have a federally recognized right to marry but the school board prefers that is never ever discussed. If you're in a same sex marriage and have children in the school just be quiet about that ok? If you're a lgbtq teacher you have that right but not in front of the children (clutch pearls)!

Wtf people.

🚁 politicians these ppl are

How many 📚 will be 🔥 before November in Bucks

Tell me again, how are they different from the Taliban? The more it becomes obvious their arcane and imbecilic assaults are not going to be around too much longer, the more radical they become. Shocking, huh?

It’s not a nazi camp, and there many amazing teachers. Just because the school board is a bunch of losers doesn’t mean the whole district of teachers suck. Yes, the school board sucks and there is so much wrong doing on the choices they make. My kids, are getting an amazing education and their needs are being met. Other school districts in the area couldn’t even come close to being able to give us the help on what my kiddo needed. CBSD did.

I can’t wait to see the open defiance.

Licabaugh has always been a douche. There are many great teachers in that district, it's a shame the board is trying to set an agenda.

My mom used to work in a cbsd school. There was a townhall about covid via phone and she had it on speaker (my husband and I lived with her and my father at the time while selling our house). When talking about masks and ways to mitigate the spread, one of the dads said “maybe the fat teachers can just lose weight.”

:|

I couldn’t view the article. So the issue here is the school board banning teachers from displaying or hanging the pride flag in classes, like a math class for instance ?

I am not at Central Bucks but I would like to see them try to dismiss teachers that display pride flags.

I'm pretty happy I live 1/2 mile into Erie county so my kid goes to LeBoeuf.

We've got our share of crazies but they are definitely ramped up in Crawford.

What the fuck is up with the regressive, hateful people in Bucks County?

they just passed the same book banning policy that Central Bucks did

If someone voted for trump at any point, they are not a moderate.

I have a friend who worked in the district. Teachers who didn't have a Pride flag in their classroom were seen as the enemy and harrased for not having a flag in their classroom. Not because their were anti LGBTQ but because they wanted to bee seen as neutral and not political. There is a lot more to this story then what is being printed. Another article talked about how one teacher who was not named would not refer to former President Trump by his name, but number 45. I'm not a huge fan of Trump, but that is ridiculous.

When Conservative PACS start funneling money into school board races…

It's wild to me that some of you think that removing sexually explicit books in elementary and middle schools, keeping classrooms neutral to focus on actual academics and keeping parents informed and in the drivers seat of their OWN children's education and identity is a bad thing. You "hate has no home" people need to have your heads examined.

Such BS. Ignorance again

Debra Cannon quoted Hitler and spread Q-anon theories the year she ran for election. She wasn't hiding the crazy.

Yes, because even in a math class, kids need to know that they are accepted and in a safe environment where bullying won’t be tolerated.

Pride flags are not political. People with agendas make them political. Last I checked, members of the LGBTQ+ community were part of all major political parties and span every racial, ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic group.

I don't see the need for pride flags anywhere in school but to each their own. I also don't see a need to ban them. What in the hell lol. What happened to live and let live.

Yeah, I agree pride flags aren’t political, but they also strike me as unrelated to the purpose of math class (math).

Is bullying of LGBTQ+ students in school super prevalent, in your opinion, and if so, do you think the absence of pride flags in classes sends the message that teachers (or those in charge) would tolerate bullying of LGBTQ+ students?

Central Bucks has a problem with flags in general

This comment has literally nothing to do with the post

Obviously you’re not up to date with the issues in cbsd. I live here, I’m sure you don’t and are just flapping your gums.

That wasn’t my point, the post is talking about LGB flags and you come up and mention books, and even get downvotes for it

Of course it gets downvotes, it’s not a radical progressive view on Reddit 😂. My point is my comment makes sense when you know ALL the issues that’s the board has faced including keeping classrooms neutral, no flags of any kind except for the American flag. So my comment is very relevant to the article, and adds some extra tidbits. You should read a little more outside of Reddit so you can be an educated commenter.

How about you don’t doubt my knowledge just because you are angry about me saying something about your comment?

I’m not angry, your comment was ignorant. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have intimate knowledge of the issues. I live here, I’ve been to many board meetings and was quoted by the New York Times 🙄🤢. Sorry I know more than you on this topic, it’ll be ok.

Bucks trying not to look like backwards hicks challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

I mean ... Probably none. Doing they literally burn them

Yes and yes.

As a 9th grader, we don't care

Thank you for the enlightening explanations.

I don’t think bullying of LGBTQ+ students in schools is a super pervasive problem. But regardless, to suggest that a teacher who doesn’t hang a pride flag in class is signaling toleration for LGBTQ+ bullying is quite a perverse and dogmatic way of thinking.

Only those voters who were actually paying close attention knew that. Her campaign was mostly, “She’s deaf, a vote against her is a vote against all disabled people!”

You asked two questions and I answered them. You didn't ask for explanations.

No one cares what you think.

In general, but especially because you think that anyone suggested that we were saying

>that a teacher who doesn’t hang a pride flag in class is signaling toleration for LGBTQ+ bullying

The parentheses were the important part of your first statement.

It's not the teacher; it's those in charge, if there's a rule against the flags, it shows that those in charge are they themselves bullying, and not only tolerate it, but push it.

Fair enough. I may be giving too much credit to the average voter.

That’s why explanations are helpful. I asked whether the absence of pride flags in classes signals support for LGBTQ+ bullying by teachers or those in charge (i.e., administrators). Your response was “yes”.

I agree pride flags shouldn’t be formally prohibited. I also don’t think any person or institution - be it a teacher, or the school itself - should be required or otherwise pressured to hang a pride flag if they choose not to.

Is this a thing? I had two unrelated internet crazies try to tell me that being fat causes COVID (lol) so now I'm wondering if this is some alt right conspiracy theory

Almost all of them are Central Bucks. Seems they act like even MAGA and Fox News is full of liberals so they need to push things further to the right "to protect the children" from society.

Pro-life my ass, give 'em a gun when they pop out of the womb and let them fend for themselves. Unless they're not white, then hold the gun.

> should be required or otherwise pressured to hang a pride flag if they choose not to.

Literally no one is or ever has been, they've only been forced to remove it.

I mean WVW had a lawyer drafted letter threatening to take kids from parents and put them into foster system over lunch money.

We kind of have shitty people all over this state.

You are so right lol.
