The student won a content and was allowed to paint it inside of the school's health center. But parents then complained that it promoted LGBTQ imagery and... witchcraft?

The school then cut their ties with the group responsible with running the health center but then made a new contract, one of the terms of which was to have the mural removed.

All the issues public schools tend to have, but parents seem more concerned that their kids are learning empathy for LGBTQ people.

They think that's the primary issue with public schools.

Pretty much every character in it is cute tbh. It's just full of happy energy and positivity.
Ironically the rabbit is probably the least cute character because of the blank expression (or the pig with the giant needle, but there's some humor in it).

Just get rid of school boards. Let the teachers run the school.

Parents can do volunteer fundraising on the side.

I'm sick of seeing school boards just being a platform for bigoted lunatics to yell 'Trump won!' and whine about CRT and 'The Woke'.

I have never known anyone that served on a school board to give me an impression of what it's like when it works in a way that doesn't make the news, so I'm not sure if this is a reasonable take or not. But from what you tend to hear about them, it sure feels like they exist just to give the absolute worst people a foothold in education that they absolutely should not have.

As much as that sounds like a good idea letting the teachers run the school would be a disaster. It would instantly become congress where they vote for higher salaries, more time off and do nothing but hide their own corruption.

The solution would be not to let teachers vote on their salaries and working hours. These should be decided by whatever government or private agency employs them.

School boards should be for deciding what gym equipment to buy and which classrooms need painting.

Not teacher bonuses nor what level of bigotry the school should be accommodating.

Sometimes im a little impressed. I have a hard time caring and or getting offended to go raise hell to have something harmless like this removed.

Like i have plenty of stuff i need to do yet they have the time to somehow get offended about something in this mural and go bitch about it.

Imagine if they went to do something good with their free time than bitch about a harmless mural......

Honestly, same. Normally I'm pretty good in finding out what triggers the right, so maybe the trans flag color on that one shirt or the rainbow color? If anything, I'm only a little confused about the Doctor/Nurse animals with the needle, but I'm assuming that's for the covid/flu shots? Maybe the anti-vaxxers are getting triggered by this mural as well?

Bottom-line is that it's honestly way too innocent to interpreted in a bad way.

i see what you're saying as it's a conflict of interest, but our teachers are incredibly underpaid and the current system leads to bloated admin salaries anyways. there needs to be some sort of oversight, but i also think teachers should have more power in determining school policy.

i can only read the beginning of the article you linked as i refuse to make an account, but it looks like that article is about giving underpaid teachers performance-based bonuses. it's not right for them to cheat on that, but i'm also sadly not surprised. if they were able to bargain for higher salaries in the first place this wouldn't be an issue. i don't think this story is proof that giving teachers more control would produce bad results.
