2. A more encouraging case of “divisiveness” supported occurred in relation to this student-made sign celebrating law enforcement:
The horror.
After intervention by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a Torrey Pines High School expunged its suspension of a high school junior for putting up a pro-ICE poster. On Feb. 6, hundreds of students staged a mid-school- day walkout, seeded by teachers, naturally, to protest ICE and U.S. immigration enforcement policy. They held posters said things like, “If You’re an I.C.E. Agent Ya Mom’s a Hoe!!,” “FUCK ICE,” and “ICE is KKK spelled differently.” These sentiments were not deemed divisive because the school in in California, and anyone living there is presumed to be insane. That’s also why the school suspended a student for posting pro-ICE flyers reading “We ❤️ I.C.E. – Real Americans.” The flyers, said the school administrators, constituted “harassment” and “intimidation.” This is the degree to which our public schools bully, brainwash and harass our young into ideological conformity. They knew what they did was unconstitutional: the second the abused student acquired legal representation from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, the school district folded like an origami chicken.
“School administrators can’t pick and choose which opinions students are allowed to express,” said FIRE Supervising Senior Attorney Conor Fitzpatrick. “Voicing an opinion which makes others upset is not ‘harassment’ or ‘intimidation,’ it is American democracy in action.” The kind of unity the modern Left wants is universal support for its agenda and policies. Anything that seems to endanger that mission is the “divisiveness” it condemns.

I was wondering why this privately financed mural was divisive. The tweet below answers this question: Iryna Zarutska is white and the murderer is black. Honoring Iryna with a does not forward the “correct” narrative, namely that the United States is a uniquely racist country where black people are being killed by racist cops at a regular basis. If the mural was in honor of George Floyd, it would have been celebrated in Providence.
