Pride Flags YES, Pink Armbands NO

This week we learned that the KGB running the BOW school district clamped down on a parent’s right to exercise free speech. A few paarents in the Bow school district decided to wear pink wrist bands at their daughters’ soccer game in support of female only sports teams. In this case, the Bow girls soccer team was playing against another team that included a biological boy as one of their teammates. Parents are rightfully concerned about their daughters playing sports against biological males. We’ve seen reports of girls who’ve been injured by the biological males playing on their opposing team.

Some of the parents were slapped with a No Trespassing order which you can read about here.

It’s almost impossible to walk through a public school today without seeing some sort of political statement. Pride flags hang in classrooms, and on walls throughout many school buildings now.

These Pride flags are not reflecting the views from some of the religious students who attend these school but that doesn’t matter to the so called “inclusive” community. They don’t care that their viewpoint opposes the viewpoint of their religious students.

In Bow if a parent decides to make a political statement in a peaceful manner by wearing a wristband to their daughter’s soccer game, Superintendent Marcy Kelley has made it clear, that will not be tolerated. In other words, there is nothing inclusive when it comes to differing viewpoints in this district. You either conform to their political views or they will bring down law enforcement in an effort to force you to comply. All in the name of “inclusive,” of course.

How does Bow claim to be inclusive, by excluding differing viewpoints? Here is what they claim:
Bow High School also has an assistant principal who leads the SAU67 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Working Group.

Marcy Kelley showed the community that they are inclusive of viewpoints they agree with. Anything else outside of that will be excluded.

The idea that these schools are inclusive ,and that they respect diversity, is a false statement. There is nothing inclusive about violating a parent’s right to peacefully express their viewpoint. All of this money taxpayers are spending to hire DEIJ Directors is money spent on pushing ONE viewpoint on their children. Parents and taxpayers know it and see it. So when this district or any other district claims they need more tax dollars, know that they are currently flushing your tax dollars down the toilet.
