Rainbows are allowed. We have been specifically told we cannot have stickers from Safespace RVA. Prior they provided all our Rainbow stickers. At my school with have a teacher with a trans flag on the door, the counselours have rainbows on their windows, and we have an openly genderqueer teacher. A total ban on Rainbows would be news to me

How do you even manage to take a message of equality and acceptance and call it a battle flag, like come on now.

When I worked down there over ten years ago I actually saw someone get hit by a car at Cary and 14th.

If you would like to support local businesses that are committed to progress in Hanover, please check out Morr donuts on 360! They do super cool birthday donut boxes, and they are LOUD supporters of trans and LGBTQIA students in Hanover and partner with others in our community to bring this county kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

I love living here. I love that my Target is never crowded. I love the country roads. I’m hoping that more progressive young families like ours will take over.

Hanover county public school have really outdone themselves this year!

Update: Dismissed

For an area that had no issue with traitor statues and schools named after bigots for a century, they jumped on this issue pretty quickly.

My ex-wife could never understand why I didn't want to be a teacher. Garbage like this.

The biggest rapids (Hollywood, pipeline) are class IV when the river is high, class III when it’s not.

My MIL has this shirt, I’m asking her to give it to me lol

The only people making it a battle flag are piss baby right wingers who hate gay people

I was sick for about a week but ended up with long covid fatigue that lasted a few weeks. I got tired easily, my blood pressure rose easily (I would try to go for walks but it made my head hurt so bad from pressure that I just couldn't).

“Has become a political symbol”

Nailed it.

Yup. What everyone in this thread doesn’t understand is the rainbow has become a political symbol, which schools should be impartial to. Weird world we live in when people get offended because a sticker simply says “all are welcome”.

I mean the rainbow has become a political symbol, just look at the responses in this thread. I think schools should be impartial and just simply say everyone is welcome.

If rainbows are excluded then all ARE NOT Welcome.

Walk through Belle Isle at night

A girl in a red Volkswagen literally slammed into my car at the stop light between w franklin and Belvedere yesterday because she wasn’t paying attention and going way too fast.. dumb drivers man

This looks like a crappy DIY guitar pedal.

That’s kind of what I was thinking on this. With so many ideologies being forced on us constantly, it would be nice to walk into a public space and not see posters or or other displays that are always pandering to a minority. Kids should be walking into a place to learn free from stuff like this shoved down there throat. This seems to be the pendulum finally swinging back but over correctly a bit too much.

I work for a county government. This is the perfect example of how governments try to appease everyone without appeasing anyone. It doesn’t go far enough for the communities it directly affects, and at the same time, too radical for the communities that haven’t been in school since Nixon was in office.

I really want to point out to her a peanut is a legume because I am that guy

Should have been in yellow with poorly painted text that rambles on about like those big yellow tea party signs that used to be up everywhere when I was growing up there.

..are they still there? I miss them and the chuckle I'd get driving by.
