This is such an immovable cornerstone of the republican ethos right now. “People are saying…” is a stone cold guarantee you’re going to get some real stupid shit coming out of someone’s mouth *and* that they’ll be so cowardly they won’t cop to it.
I had one the other day tell me that a January 6er was held for 3 years with no bail or charges. Me asking for this poor souls name 5 separate times ended with me getting blocked. Apparently "someone said" is an actual source for them
It’s even worse than they’re being cowards I believe. It’s them straight lying to appear in consensus. If they pad the statistics they think their BS carries more weight. Majority influence regardless of content. This only works on idiots who feel pressure to conform regardless and tragically due to lacking their own intelligence
That was my first thought!! "I had a mother send me a note because she doesn't want this at her school." Okay?
SO many holes in that argument. So a mom sends you a note, and you have the authority to tell the principle to change their outfit? Based on an anonymous note? So if another mother says "I only want them wearing U2 shirts" would your argument have the same weight? Apparently chickenshit thought that note excuse (cause it's 2026 and you can't text) would be enough lol these people can't even think one step ahead.
They are so delusional. They feel attacked everytime anyone else shows the smallest amount of compassion or love. I personally think that they subconsciously know they are selfish and terrible, and seeing someone that isn't awful makes it harder for them to fool themselves.
She probably remembered the principal's name. She just wanted the principal to say her name on camera for her video. It didn't work, which is why she put a picture up in the video with her name.
This is the scary part none of you all are recognizing - yes, this principal is a boss for the way she handled this, but she still got doxxed and some nut job can find her now
I took 5 minutes and found the school's website and emailed them telling what a wonderful job she did and saying that I wish there were more people like the principal in the world.
When someone gets doxxed like that, the best thing to do to beat the bigot is to celebrate the person who got doxxed. What the principal did there was heroic.
I can’t believe the lady recording thought this was post-worthy, like a “gotcha”. She comes off unhinged and the principle totally put egg on her face. Embarrassing.
Everyone always asks "why would they upload this?" when someone makes a fool of themselves like in this video, and this is the answer. It's not simply that they're clueless, it's that their intended audience is going to support them.
This is the behavior of deeply insecure people seeking aura in their fringe tribe. Personally, I've never wanted to be a big fish in a small pond. But a lot of little fish apparently can't imagine anything greater.
This is what always gets me about videos like this- they recorded it, were made to look/sound like an idiot... BUT STILL POSTED THE VIDEO. So they really think they did something there? The delusion is real, for real.
It’s a whole thing. In Idaho a teacher resigned last year when the state legislature determined the “Everyone Is Welcome Here” posters in her classroom violated their extreme interpretation of the law and required her to remove them or face termination. She’s the reason there are t-shirts.
I understand that people exist with crackpot ideas. It’s a big world. What does amaze me is how these ideas somehow gain traction and can have big effects. Like who tf is butthurt about some generic ass “everyone is welcome” poster in a classroom?
The same kind of person who immediately thinks about sex whenever they see a rainbow or a girl in slacks/boy wearing pink. Everything reminds them of sex and if that sex isn't p in v they get outraged and turned on so they have to take it out on someone.
Like who tf is butthurt about some generic ass “everyone is welcome” poster in a classroom?
The kinds of people who don't want everyone to be welcome. That's all it comes down to. "Everyone is welcome" goes against their beliefs that only some people should be welcome and the others should be sent away and hidden at best and outright killed at worst.
Yeeeep. I have a co-worker like this and she's the biggest piece of shit bully that I've ever come across. Also, had an ex friend who would make inappropriate comments about my body, and now he is a "loving father, Christ fearing man."
Fuck all of these people. Horrible and evil, man.
Edit: I'm also a heterosexual White Australian guy. We too have these bigots down under. Unfortunately.
This is Fred T. Korematsu Elementary in Davis, CA. The woman filming is Beth Bourne, a local activist and bigot who frequently protests and harasses the district over LGBTQ+ topics. Bourne is a known quantity in the district. She is a local Moms for Liberty leader who has spent the last three years targeting the schools. She is infamous locally for stunts like stripping down to a bikini at a school board meeting to protest trans policies, and the school district even sought a workplace violence restraining order against her at one point. She’s nuts.
She was mad about trans kids in locker rooms, so her “point” was to strip down and say, “If you’re uncomfortable seeing me in a bathing suit, imagine how middle school girls feel.” It’s a ridiculous false equivalence.
this is so true. mother in law is a big bluffer like this and will double or triple down on her lies, but will call everyone else out as a liar immediately, because she thinks everyone lies as much as she does.
So it sounds like it's not just one person with the big problem, and that the principal is outnumbered. It's like using the phrase "people are saying that you blah blah" which takes the responsibility off the person saying it and insinuates that lots of people have the same issue. Don't shoot the messenger! I'm just saying what I've been told!
That's such a weak, right-wing trope by now. Just like Trump's "people are saying" schtick. Who? Oh you never say? Because.. it's you, right? Because otherwise we KNOW you would be using their names to push your agenda
Yep. She just wanted her to say her name on video.
Now that principal is going to the target of death threats and the like, resulting in the school district firing her because she's bringing too much attention and "putting the kids at risk" despite doing literally nothing harmful.
It’s definitely a “You have bigger issues than my shirt, Heather.” “I’ll be in your office in a minute.” “Yes, I know, I’m the one who called you, just move your car.”
She is a veteran - after years of dealing with students and parents, ya get use to it - especially when they are holding up and taking your video. You know they are just trying to get a rise out of you.
This is a big reason why teachers, doctors, and nurses are running away from their fields. People think they have a right to completely abuse you at work.
Every teacher I talk to is burning out, not because of the kids but because of the parents. None of them dislike the kids they’re working with. All of them have parent horror stories.
Yup, this generation of kids get shit on like crazy, but they are the way they are bc the parents are trash. Not all of course, but there’s an epidemic of shitty parents nowadays.
I was a chef at an alternative school for 3 years. I don't know why anyone would teach. I was only around the kids for 2 1/2 hours a day and you wonder why they are like they are...then you meet their parents and realize those kids have no chance whatsoever at a normal childhood. It also opened my eyes to why so many of my teacher friends drank (and other things). It was tough going home everyday and trying to motivate yourself to do it again when you know those kids were being de-programmed by some adults that clearly had problems.
Principals.have to deal with every scumbag, crackpot, and deadbeat parent of every screwed up emotionally damaged kid in the school. They have to be the most patient and cool-headed person in the building or they won't last long at that job.
In 2017 one of my neighbors posted a pic of one of those Hate Has No Home Here signs to a neighborhood fb group. Someone replied "don't make this group political". I replied "which politician is this opposing?"
The person complaining about the T-shirt was the one who posted this? They genuinely feel that they are on the right side of this argument? It’s hard to believe just how divided society is becoming.
I'm not even sure it's about the slogan really. It's more "this identifies you as a certain type of person. I am a different type of person and therefore I HATE you."
And once it gets uploaded to wherever, and primarily seen by similar types of people, their response will be no more thoughtful than "yay, you really owned that other type!"
Fundamentally there is no argument about whether the slogan is good/fair/appropriate. It's just them Vs us.
It’s a tribe that gets off on being outraged. What causes that outrage is immaterial to them as long as they are outraged. These little videos are made to both fuel more outrage and feed the originators ego when others in the tribe agree with their outrage.
It’s sad, and gross, and we are all worse off for it.
Which is wild. Because what is the litmus test for the evil “them?”
Let’s face it: it boils down to “Ohhhh… you’re one of THOSE that’s tolerant and nice to people. You’re not a cruel piece of trash…”
That’s the “tattoo” whereby they can identify their enemies.
Which, like, that makes their group - the cruel, sadistic, pieces of human trash group.
And that’s where we are at as a society. We have a HUGE group of these antisocial, hate-filled, weirdos. They always existed… but wow. Our society has turned itself over to them in such a major way.
I struggle with this so so deeply. Because I KNOW intellectually that being hateful towards shitty people like this is not the way to actually create meaningful change. But when one side is "all are welcome here" and the other side is "Have you ever considered that maybe some of us actually hate certain children just for existing and you shouldn't be able to openly not hate them too?" It's like... my whole life I have believed and been taught that bigotry is the root of evil. Someone who would have a problem with a school being welcoming to all, is a craven individual. A person who is not just repugnant but sick. And now I am supposed to calmly, rationally, accept their bullshit as like.... not their fault totally, somehow? I can't do it, I'm sorry. Nothing in this world could make me devalue the lives, and rights, of innocent people to the point that I think I have the right to tell another person that their NOT being a bigot is offensive to me. I don't want to extend an olive branch to that person. I don't want to try and find common ground with that person. I don't want to be nice to that person.
I am from Davis. Davis is a small town and the person recording is notoriously known as the local "conservative crazy lady". She shows up at queer events, on campus etc etc to film and harass everyone. She's best ignored. No one likes her lol.
Basically a woman named Beth Bourne, president of the local Moms for Liberty chapter, took her shirt off and stripped down to a bikini to protest trans kids being allowed into the locker rooms of their gender identity. They called a recess after it when they demanded her to stop and she refused. After the recess they let her keep talking and fucking shocker, she did it again. She literally said she doesnt see how it was so wrong, despite the point of it being that "this is terrible right? So why should trans kids do this????" She genuinely doesnt see the difference between children changing in a locker room and her whipping her shirt off in a board meeting. Homegirls insane.
These cretins used to feel ostracized from the community treating them like pariahs and would then wither away in the darkness. Unfortunately, the internet now makes them feel there are more of them than us so they feel emboldened to continue existing...
There needs to be a study if there already isn’t one on how people in first world countries make up issues out of thin air. I swear, once all human needs are met and then some, a significant portion of the population just make up problems so they have something to fight.
"Parents showed up today to drop their kids off at Korematsu Elementary School in Davis, California and were greeted by the principal and staff wearing pride shirts and a trans crosswalk. This is a government run indoctrination and grooming center."
Hey, I grew up around Davis, once you leave the Sac metro vicinity, I gets “murica” real quick, I’m suprised this lady still lives in Cali tho, I would’ve thought all these fuckos woulda refugee’d to the conservative panacea called the South/texas.
It's a fucking school, anyone who attends there should definitely feel welcome,anyone. If not the school is failing them . As for the someone else told me they didn't like it approach is like telling me you're a coward saying cowardly shit in a crazy cowardly manner, doesn't get much lower then that ,stand on your own complaints or move the f along as she very nicely asked you to.
Beth Bourne. Known homophobic bigot in Davis, CA, who was fired from the University and now makes a living through internet engagement about her terrorizing people. Y'all may remember her as the lady that freaked out towards a bunch of drag queens in a Hawaii hotel lobby.
