But a few days ago, her daughter returned home from school, and as soon as she walked through the door, she broke the news. "We can't sing it anymore. We can't sing 'Rainbow Connection' and we can't sing 'Rainbowland.'"

Schindler promptly reached out to Melissa Tempel, her daughter's teacher, as well as the principal of the school, and phoned the school district superintendent. She was told the administration had nixed the songs, deeming them controversial.

Tempel, a first-grade dual language teacher at Heyer Elementary in Waukesha, Wisconsin, appeared to be just as upset as Schindler and her daughter. On Tuesday she tweeted, "My first graders were so excited to sing Rainbowland for our spring concert but it has been vetoed by our administration. When will it end?"

According to Schindler, the school board had "a conservative flip" in recent years following community uproar over COVID-19 mitigation strategies. "With that have come some policy changes that have been causing some controversy in our community," she told the Los Angeles Times over a phone call on Friday.

"One of those is a controversial topics policy saying that teachers can't have any kind of signage that could be deemed political. ... Discussion of pronouns with students was another thing that came up. And teachers aren't allowed to wear rainbows."

No one can wear rainbows. I’m also not surprised they are banning Dolly Parton too.

This will not end from them.

I wonder how much of this started with the covid measures. There seems to be a similar juxtaposition in the 1918 pandemic, which was followed closely by a huge wave of racism and intolerance. Some people simply lose it when they think they're being ordered around. Funny... they're usually the same people who like to strap up, go out in the woods, and play soldier. Soldiers get ordered around. Go figure.

Not just rainbows. It appears that the Italian Renaissance is now X-rated.

Better keep the kids out of Florence...

Principal resigns after Florida students shown Michelangelo statue

A principal of a Florida school has been forced to resign after a parent complained that sixth-grade students were exposed to pornography.

The complaint arose from a Renaissance art lesson where students were shown Michelangelo's statue of David.

The iconic statue is one of the most famous in Western history.

But one parent complained the material was pornographic and two others said they wanted to know about the class before it was taught.

YOU'RE the Netflix guy. Did you cancel your Netflix subscription?

Again, we GREW UP watching men in drag. Why are you supporting censorship of rainbows? Why can't kids sing Kermit the Frog's Rainbow Connection? It's not smut.

Go ahead explain.

What. The. Fuck. Do. You. Care.

Non-binary characters aren’t pornography. Guns murdering children is pornography. Idiot legislators banning books is pornography. Ron DeathSantis is pornography.

[ZoWie]

Agreed that conservative circling of the wagons is the new pornography. "Everyone's bad except US... kill them!" (Rated X, under 18 not admitted, but don't worry, they get plenty of it on the cell phones we let them take to school.) The old sex pornography is today's new normal, but obviously there has been the usual dialectical reaction to anything resembling progress, which of course has been proven many times over to be aggressive regression.

Had drumpf not really existed, it would have become necessary to invent him. He made it easier, by unconsciously grokking the spirit of the times, and reinventing himself, from NYC's most boring, and most disliked, blowhard rich twit to The Voice of the Downtrodden White Racist. We should have seen it coming when he practically single-handedly started the racist birther reaction to a Black president, but then with all the lousy ideas flying around it's never easy to identify the ones that are about to change politics forever. Who knew racism and homophobia were coming back, let alone that they would become the popularly accepted means of nullifying the 20th century?

First you explain your position on having non-binary characters in shows written for preschool children.

I don't know. But it's just a diversion for you. It's an excuse for you to go after a whole class of people, like Hitler did with the Jews.

[ProfX]

The character in the Netflix show appears to be a nonbinary bison - not even a human being. Their grandma is voiced by Cyndi Lauper -- how cool is that?

There's also a mummy girl which has two Egyptian mummy daddies (hmm, looks like a pun that writes itself.)

Oh my, think of the children. Next thing you know, they'll be dealing with Teletubbies, or something.

Yeah, at least they got rid of the gay Teletubby!

And Glenn wants us to believe he's 99% on our side with LGBTQ+ rights!

He's not.

Don’t have to explain anything. They don’t arbitrarily know or more likely care. These shows aren’t showing relationships including sex between adults. Get your sex obsessed head out of your ass.

I just went to the link, and YES, I'm okay with it. My fucking God, you guys are so fucking crazy. Yes, it's the same as going nuts over the supposed 'gay Teletubby'! I mean, ALL the Teletubbys were 'non-binary'.

YOUR the one sexualizing pre-school children! You're going nuts if they AREN'T sexualized!

Wrong again as usual. The only group sexualizing children is the woke left. There is absolutely no reason to have a non binary character. In fact preschool characters should have no reference to any sexuality.

But, of course you in the left have to start the grooming process out early. Preschool children are completely unaware of human sexuality. Why not just let them be innocent for as long as possible.

Teletubbies were non-binary, which is why you guys hated them so much.

And no, they aren't unaware. They may not be interested, but they sure as hell aren't unaware. This is just your excuse for censorship.

What's funny is that you defended DeSantis' don't-say-gay bill, saying it was just about up to third grade - which it wasn't, not really. But now DeSantis is moving to take away the third grade thing, to make everything for all grades.

And you'll defend that too. Because you want to shove gays back into the closet.

Again lying about the Florida bill. It does not mention gay. There is no reason to talk about sexuality with 6 yesr olds

Doesn't have to mention it to target it.

And you don't think there's a reason to talk about sexuality with high school seniors either. Because you want gays back in the closet.

Wrong again, you lying sack of shit.

The sexualization of children is best manifested, imo, by so-called beauty pageants for kids that aren’t even near puberty followed closely by religious whack jobs who tend to be, what’s the word, oh, yeah, conservative.

No preschool anywhere references sexuality, you dumb fuck. Little kids don’t have any goddamn idea what a non-binary person is. You’re so fucking obsessed with sex along with the rest of the mentally ill conservatives that it it is absolutely astounding.

The only thing truly pornographic is conservatism.

[gounion]

Glenn knows this is all ridiculous, but he’s a good soldier, and he plays whatever cards the GOP deals for him, and pretends they aren’t bullshit.

I mean, now Michelangelo’s David is pornography? Glenn knows it’s not, he’s not raising his grandson in a bubble, and we all know it. But the GOP is telling him to be outraged over bullshit, so he dances to their tune.

[Libertas]

When gop kills liberals, board con will dance to that tune as well.

Agreed.

i much prefer we do it the old fashioned way. If they're going to learn anything about sexuality at a young age it should be taught by fellow classmates who'd teach you how to play spin the bottle. When they become bored with that they can always do like we did and have older classmates teach you how to play strip poker. By the time they're in junior high the advise comes from senior high students that can teach you how to tickle a girls fancy. By the time they reach high school they are ready for the peer pressure to score a piece of ass. Before ya know it you have a 16 year old knocked up with little or no clue as to what to do next. It's worked great so far why change it?

Yep, that way hormones rule, and they aren't making informed decisions before they have sex, so they get knocked up instead.

Let's remember the same people that are against abortion also want to outlaw contraception of all sorts. Even condoms.

I doubt preschool children would understand about nonbinary characters. At that age, they just see a cartoon characters with friendly, cute faces and colors that attracts and keeps their attention. I doubt these children's attention would be held if the characters were played by real-live actors.

So now you can get your panties untwisted and put them on in place of your big boy pants.

This has to be the only country in the world where:

(1) a school principal is forced to resign because one parent sees pornography in a classroom presentation of one of the world's most famous works of public art, which is a tourist attraction seen by thousands daily, because it happened to show a guy's dick, while at the same time,

(2) school children and teachers are randomly gunned down on a pretty much monthly basis, and no one sees anything pornographic about advertising and Internet discourse that glorifies the private possession and discharge of the military-grade semiautomatic rifles that are typically used to do this.
