Only boomers and hate group members are allowed in Idaho. That sign was false advertising.

Isn’t everyone being welcome a legal requirement? I mean, isn’t that sign just stating a fact? Or is this a fact like ‘fossil fuel emissions lead to climate change’? Facts that a part of the people don’t like, so it is now forbidden to tell the truth?

It’s literally what 'murica was built on. Now we display “no vacancy”. It’s so dumb, immigration is how cultures evolve.

USA is a religiously fascist nation, where protection of minorities is banned, but religious and fascist bigotry against minorities is promoted.
I know a lot of Americans aren’t like that, but that’s the way the American society seems to be turning.

I’d argue that this highly depends on what state you live in. Idaho is one of the most backward, conservative, intolerant states in the country.

Maybe the school could be given a list of the groups of people who are welcome. Make em spell it out, if “everyone” is too broad.

Well, that tracks for Idaho. It’s full of backwoods hicks that have territorial issues

Idaho, Washington, and Oregon are where a lot of confederates fled to after the war so this tracks.

PNW is where the Proud Boys originated, too.

Yup, they wanted to fulfill their bullshit Manifest Destiny garbage and were down to live in total isolation over living with black people

Idaho: you’re allowed to kill your children through medical neglect, but don’t you dare make any children feel welcome at school.

I wonder what it takes to really piss OP off if they only consider this “mildly” infuriating.

I hope to God that they don’t take down the signs.

Idaho - just as racist as the South, but with an extra helping of mashed stupid. There’s a reason the state worships the potato - anything smarter than one leaves.

Conservatives out here proving to the normies that they can be more annoying and puritanical then the “cancel culture woke left” ever was

If you take out the “every” then it becomes a statement that conservatives would approve of.

The US flag is used by regressives to depicr a political viewpoint, so I assume that is banned too.

Or crazy controversial ideas like liberty for all
