POW! BLAM!

I can understand a school not wanting to take a political stance, but there's nothing political about saying that black lives matter.
It's a shame there's not a punchy and succinct phrase with the same meaning but unattached to any groups or movements. |

Have you ever considered that you might be the one who's wrong about this topic?

blm are a political organisation. Schools have problems with kids wearing tee shirts supporting causes and have banned them, because it causes unnecessary conflict and disrupts education. Teachers have to be held to the same standards

There are good reasons for this tbh that shouldn't be thrown away, for (I would have thought) obvious reasons.
e.g. nurses aren't allowed to wear various badges/pins etc. that would be considered political. To try to claim that BLM is not political is obviously nonsense. |

It's not even about what it specifically says, having messaging (any messaging) on clothing has the potential to cause various issues; schools (and many other workplaces) don't have the time or resources to consider each piece of clothing on a case-by-case basis so they have to have a blanket policy that side steps the issue - i.e. "no messaging on items of clothing". If a teacher won't comply with policy you can hardly expect her pupils to comply with policy... refusing the employer's dress code is misconduct... there's no real way around it. If you're in employment and feel passionately against the dress code imposed by the employer that's fine, but your options are to either begrudgingly comply, find another job, OR you could try to gather support for changing the policy... but you don't just ignore it "in protest" and do whatever you want, then pretend to be surprised or outraged at being let go . Sometimes I wonder if people have ever had jobs...

...this is an interesting thing actually...because I was reading about ‘The Hatch Act’ quite recently...it’s something in the USA regarding employees/employers and what is or isn’t allowed in a work place with ‘political’...and the act states BLM related things are not classed as political so it’s an employees right to wear such things.../...which was a quite recent amendment to the act...it’ll be interesting to follow if there is anything legal with this from the employee...

If someone gets upset over the idea that black lives matter, that person is a racist who thinks that black lives are not as important as white lives.

Of course All people matter But BLM is an Extreme Left wing group. [The group’s radical Marxist agenda would supplant the basic building block of society — the family — with the state and destroy the economic system that has lifted more people from poverty than any other. Black lives, and all lives, would be harmed. Theirs is a blueprint for misery, not justice. It must be rejected.] NY Post July 2020 Last edited by arista; 30-09-2020 at 01:17 PM. |

People say black lives matter to remind people that black people matter just as much as everyone else, that's it, the teacher implied nothing else with that mask.
