Wisconsin school board votes in favor of pride flag ban
August 17, 2022
WALES, Wis. (AP) A Wisconsin school board voted in favor of a policy that prohibits teachers and staff from displaying gay pride flags and other items that district officials consider political in nature.
The Kettle Moraine School Board voted unanimously Tuesday to keep a code of conduct in place that the superintendent recently interpreted as forbidding district employees from displaying political or religious messages, including pride flags, and Black Lives Matter and We Back the Badge signs. Staff also may not say in emails what their preferred pronouns are.
Superintendent Stephen Plum recently told the board that the districts interpretation of a policy that prohibits staffers from using their positions to promote partisan politics, religious views and propaganda for personal, monetary or nonmonetary gain changed following a legal analysis.
Most of those who spoke at Tuesdays packed board meeting opposed the policy. The public comment period was capped at an hour, despite a call from the crowd to extend it.

Do tattoos need to be covered up since they are forbidden in Leviticus?

I'm still massively pissed off at this story, but the giggle took the edge off a little.
Wisconsin should take "America's Dairyland" off their license plates and put that on instead.
