I mean... fortunately this is a "lawmaker says" story, so there's a pretty good chance that it won't pass. Not saying it's not gross, obv. But "lawmaker" covers an insanely broad range of people who often have virtually no power, which is why headline writers like it so much.
Yep. I want to think that it's an example that calling out their racist Nazi shit is enough to push them back, even if it's just a little. But hard to say if it's enough. But it's still worth it. Call it out everywhere, every time!! Such bullshit. "Part of the curriculum" Right!
As of the confederate flag, the only time on government property is when doing civil war reenactments. (I know there were no civil war battles in Utah, but people like civil war reenactments, and when done right they are educational.)
The small suburb of Cincinnati that I spent my teenage years in had a regular civil war reenactment in one of the parks. It was complete with exhibits where people explained how things were done, and the importance of support personnel to the Union effort.
It’s not a distraction, they genuinely hate queer people and want to kill us. Literal massacres aren’t tolerated yet so they start with this and keep pushing.
Just because it can distract us from the looting of the economy doesn't mean it isn't also their agenda to exterminate everyone who isn't MAGA. The oligarchs will serve up some genocide to keep the Christians happy.
Dear friends, I urgently need your help. As a paraplegic, getting around in the winter has been a daily challenge. An enclosed mobility scooter would change my life, giving me independence and freedom. Please support by donating or sharing my GoFundmeMe. Every bit counts thanks🙏✨ https://gofund.me/0af928df
The NAZI SHITBAGS have become emboldened. They seem to think this is acceptable behavior.
I hope they all fucking die.
If you agree with this bullshit. I hope you fucking suffer a long miserable painful fucking death!!!! The world fucking hates you!!!
This is my problem with the left. While y'all focused on what black celebrities you hate, white people in office do things like this....fix your own house before worrying about a Snoop or Kanye. You get distracted while they change laws. Left has a closet racist problem and it's a huge distraction
What the fuck is wrong with Americans… or are they not Americans at all?
These idiots are playing with fire and truly have no idea how horrific the Nazis were. They’re seeped in a form of hatred that’s totally sadistic. I blame their upbringing. I blame them. Shame.
They are traitors. They’re not sided with the Union. They’re most definitely the continuation of the Confederacy that should’ve been barred from government after the Civil War. Been trying to take down the United States since and reorganize it back into the CSA.
Imagine how fucking long the guy that introduced this bill has been harboring it. He had to hold this back until the most radical administration known in modern history was in power. All this so he could show the country what a fucking traitorous moron he is. I hope there comes a day when...and....
The hidden underlying intent was still the message.
I grant you news agencies twist the headlines to appeal to their reader base. Why publish something that preaches to the choir. Rhetoric gets boring. Throw something out there that turns heads and make eyes pop.
Nah, fam, don't apologize. You bring up an interesting question: would people agree to allow a Nazi flag if that meant also allowing an lgbt flag and visa versa?
In other words - What is free speech to you?
So the kid in the article is offended by the pride flag & what is says about marriage & other things. Yet he’s probably part of a “Sister Wives” household at home in Utah & has no issue with that. I’m so sick of these hypocrites trying to shove their pathetic mindsets on all of us. 🤬
My grandpa most certainly did not fight for the right to fly na*i flags either. He fought for the rights of ALL people! Miss him tons, but so glad he isn’t alive to see this now.
This is not what any of our great grandparents fought for. This is exactly the thing we fought against. If no actions are taken we will be Nazi america
After being freed from a Stalin fascist concentration camp, my father looked like a skeleton. He was picked up by Britain, and joined Montgomery in Northern Africa. My father, a tank sergeant, fought Nazis and was wounded three times. Glad he is not here to see these fascists in our hallowed halls.
Definition of 'Patriot' according to the MAGA dictionary...
Pat - riot, emphasis on the 'riot', like the January 6, 2021 "peaceful protest & day of love"
Why would they really need a nazi flag for educational purposes? That’s weird considering there are pictures in history books and all over the internet.
I read it this am. Ashhole is backtracking & says it can be "displayed" as part of a history curriculum in public & charter schools. Why "display??" Wouldn't a photo of such a disgusting artifact suffice? Wonder how the Hollywood types jetting in for Sundance feel about it????
"parents who said their kids had been offended by pride flags in their schools"
Let me just fix that for them...
"parents who told their kids to be say they were offended by pride flags in their schools right after telling them that if they were gay or trans they would be thrown out of the house"
I hope they are no longer in your life in any way.
Congratulations to you on overcoming a seemingly impossible to overcome nightmare and becoming an artist and positive light in a dark world. I hope you have found love and family after starting with none.
Thanks, man. I found the love of my life, was the 1st female in my family to get a college degree, and landed a job I love. With zero help from them. It's been a long, hard road, sometimes very lonely, but yeah, I barely speak to those horrible people at all. It truly was a nightmare. Therapy helps.
Well thank you for replying cause I had a big pit in my stomach hoping there was a happy ending there somewhere. And more importantly thank you for showing the youth still in those homes tonight that it can and will get better - and what they are going thru right now will not define them.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
100%. You listen to me, kids. You don't let them win. People that love you unconditionally are waiting for you. You have no idea how much love you're gonna find. And understanding. And strength. And joy. And happiness.❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶🤍
One of the largest burdens of fighting incipient terror is acknowledging and articulating that terror. Their bold unbelievability is the point and a historically effective strategy.
Folks need to read the story (thanks for the link). The bill's sponsors are trying to nuance the nazi and confederate part by insisting it's "for curriculum uses only" while still banning gay pride flags. Meanwhile, is DOGE stealing back funds already transferred to Utah accounts?
It's very weird to me seeing the SPQR wreath on that flag. Makes no sense. SPQR wreaths are basically one step from a swastika for what they mean. It's why Proud Boys use it.
Communists in Russia overthrew their empire. They didn't seek to recreate one.
Addendum: think I figured it out. Someone synthesized the UN Flag with the Soviet one.
Ahistorical but it must have caught on, I’m GUESSING with the right wing types who think the UN is a communist plot anyway. The answer as always is probably propaganda.
Hitler loved Mormons
1) They served in the military, unlike the Jehovah's Witnesseses, who he sent straight to Auschwitz
2) the Word of Wisdom mirrored his own dietary preferences
3) The Mormons had a generally racist, Aryan worldview which they practiced by excluding blacks from their priesthood
I’m a recently retired teacher. There’s absolutely no need to display either flag to teach history. I taught history. You can simply show a photo of you want to familiarize the kids with them, you certainly don’t need them on display in your classroom.
MAGA, MAGA, what the fuck do you stand for?
White supremacy, Nazi dreams, with Hitler's speeches at his door,
Permission to hate, a structure of evil and shit,
Trump's legacy, a violent, disgusting pit,
First amendment though! what about free speech in all of this?
Why would anybody fly a nazi flag? how many Americans died fighing actual nazis just so that wannabe nazis could take over the US? never saw gay people being as evil nor organising mass murder, etc
... would it be too much to ask for our Dem Congresscritters to help out the Good People™?
Seriously, I've voted all Dem in every election except for 1980 (v Anderson) and Gore (v Nader ... mea culpa), and their public statements call people like me hotheads
I hope all the kids start wearing rainbow clothes ! Rainbow everything ! Let’s make it so they can’t tell who is what or what’s what . We all wear rainbow !
I started working during a time when employers told us what jobs were for women, and they all paid the least. White men never change, oppressing everyone else is their default position.
White women always get their privilege by proxy, through white men. In the not-so-distant past, women were legally required to have male handlers. Keeping that in mind, those women are doing just what the patriarchy taught them to do to survive, however misguided that is.
Brigam young:
Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot.
none of that is new info. he was a product of his time. other leaders were not, including JS. should they have let it go for so long? of course not. completely irrelevant to the Church today, though. fyi membership is growing fastest in africa. we've moved on. non-mbrs should as well.
i should have also addressed that specific scripture's misinterpretation in addition to that most common misunderstanding.
non-righteous ppl are those w/o the light of Christ. it does NOT refer to skin color. it's not literal.
I read in 1978 they started to allow people of color to join and only in 2013 did the church renounce the doctrine that brown skinned people are cursed.
Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country, they're right in your backyard, running multi-billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession
We are now fully in the Age of Darkness and Cruelty, along with the Age of Insanity.
With each new outrageous and atrocious episode, exec. order, or proclamation, I am coming to the realization I may not live long enough to witness the reckoning that will surely come. I still hope, but it's fading.
Have you seen Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train? There’s a scene with a merry go round that’s spinning out of control. It’s wild & terrifying. I feel like I’m on it and just want off.
Seen it several times. How about the helplessness of ‘Vertigo’? The sociopathic deception of ‘Shadow of a Doubt’? But I’m afraid no film measures the present dystopian nightmare we now live in. If it was a movie, it’d be a very bad movie. Ridiculous and unbelievable.
I had that same thought tonight: I won't live to see the repair of all the precious things they are breaking and burning. And even worse: Some things aren't going to be repairable.
I keep trying to convince myself that reports like this aren't real; that Democrats are indulging in the same kind of misrepresentations of facts (sometimes called lies) as repugs have been doing for years. Cause my heart just can't accept this as truth. Not in my country.....maybe it's The Onion?
Cause I'm 75 years old & heartbroken that this could possibly be us now. I want it, very badly, not to be real. For the sake of all of us, but especially the younger generations. I protested and marched in 1968 and was tear-gassed. Marched in 2016 & was crushed in the crowd. Doubt I can march again
I think we're saying the same thing in different words. They're impacting ALL of our lives. I'm saying that these people have no right to erase any of us. To me, their actions are so heinous that I want to pretend that it's not real life. It's just too disheartening to see their hatred for so many
And ask ever so reverently, not treating lying Karoline Leavitt with interrupting, shouting at, and shouting over each other disrespect like they did with Jen Psaki and Karine Jean-Pierre.
Total severance. When you block someone, they cannot see your posts, like, reply, mention, or follow you. Their posts, replies, and profile will also be hidden from you.
"As a future parent, I would refuse to let my children attend a school that allows Nazi flags to be displayed. Pride flags represent love and acceptance, while Nazism represents hate. Our children deserve to see rainbows, not swastikas. #NoHate #LoveWins 🌈✊" #ProudParent #SayNoToNazism
You're better off using your states home school option if you're able. We need to start really supporting each other in any way we can. I'm going to offer home schooling for young children to fill the gap. We must embrace strangers to fight invaders 🫶
It’s hard when it’s a public school and the parents need to work and private schools and homeschooling are not financially viable options- although if my child was, let’s say, suspended for stealing said Nazi flag, We would have cake for dinner.
there are 18M members worldwide. the majority of whom live outside the US so did NOT vote for 🍊🧛♂️. nor did many others including worldwide leaders.
generalizations & stereotypes are wrong for every1.
70% of Utah Mormons. Prophets, Seventies, Leaders, policy makers, Mission presidents,etc. every influential person in the church. Not converts in South America
If my kids were younger and I lived in a red state, I would disenroll them from public school at this point.
You know, I haven’t been the perfect mother, but my kids have never questioned my love for them, and they have turned out to be kind and compassionate free thinkers. Money can’t buy empathy.
I was actually having that thought as I wrote this, and I agree. Same conversation, opposite end of the spectrum. Keep your government out of our business and bodies, and god out of our schools and legislature.
Oh. And don’t be a Nazi.
Nazis think pluralism is oppression. Leftists think oppression is oppression. People generally have similar responses to oppression whether it is real or imaginary.
Note all the Nazis using progressive and therapy jargon to push their segregationist policies.
the left and right are suggesting it for opposite reasons, though. right wingers do it because they don’t think their kids are being taught enough racist propaganda
1. Separation of church and state applies to public schools, which is why your Jesus flag is removed.
2. Pride flag talks as much about “marriage” as a wedding band does. So unless we’re banning those, WTF is he talking about?
3. Religious beliefs? Don’t marry a guy…problem solved.
Also I have no doubt they would ban trans pride flags specifically even though our rights don't conflict directly with how marriage is defined by Christianity. In reality nothing trans people do conflict with Christianity but Christofash like Republicans sure love to pretend it does...
Nobody in Canada is laughing, no one in Mexico, no one in Panama, no one in Greenland, no one in Denmark, no one in Gaza, no one in Ukraine is laughing.
I don't think anyone in any of those countries will ever 'trust' the US again, ever.
Michael Douglas speaking on Aaron Sorkin’s script where he says free speech is allowing someone express an opinion that you absolutely hate. Too bad there’s no Andrew Shepards in America
I can’t tell if this is satire 🙁 what a backwards, messed up, small, petty, sick world. I will think of more adjectives throughout the day for our collective superstitious, tribal bullshit.
just how blatantly evil can these people be? I don't think we can recover from this as a nation w/o serious and radical change and organized direct action

Whether of the Mussolini or NSDAP variety is yet to be seen
but deserve both Mussolini and Hitlers fate regardless
Unfortunately the fat one is probably going to die of a coronary before he can recieve the Mussolini treatment
Never trust that fucking liar.

Something you seem to lack in both self-awareness and combat.
Coverage needs to focus on the evil things they actually do, not the stupid things they propose, which are innumerable.
Extrapolating...US will invade Gaza or Ukraine or Greenland or Panama and start WW3

When the cops broke out the riot gear and started attacking, they attacked back with bricks.
they are nazis who want to eliminate trans people
they have said it and keep saying it, and its so odd when people are like “what’s their real plan tho 🤔”
WTFH!?
I hope they all fucking die.
If you agree with this bullshit. I hope you fucking suffer a long miserable painful fucking death!!!! The world fucking hates you!!!
Don't be NAZIS. It isn't difficult.
These idiots are playing with fire and truly have no idea how horrific the Nazis were. They’re seeped in a form of hatred that’s totally sadistic. I blame their upbringing. I blame them. Shame.
This is what was interprested as nazi flags can fly, but not pride flags.

Defiance.
We're not allowed.

We all know that

But it is forbidden
Idaho just passed a law requiring the reading of the fucking Bible in school.

(1) On what grounds would you ban LGTBQ+ support but allow Nazi support?
(2) On what grounds, motherfucker???
Women, POC, disabled, veterans, gay, minorities, anyone "non standard" sexually? "Those people" should live in ghettos and work as slaves.

Or does blocking them work both ways - that they don't see us and our comments, and we don't see them or their responses?
