Well, I guess they did "Trump Perry."

Seriously, people need to stand up to petty crap like this. The "My interpretation of the word you used offends me" argument is so idiotic. It can be used for literally any word against someone for whatever reason an accuser chooses. So let's stop legitimizing faux outrage.

I bet they have no problem using trump cards when playing spades.




Those are known as "Fredericas" now. Sorry you haven't gotten the memo yet but we have to give priority to our brothers and sisters of color and other marginalized groups.

Pittsburgh Public parent Jessie Ramey, who called for an apology in an open letter to Mrs. Shute, had a different view.

"The use of the current President’s name is an intentional signal to opponents that they are in 'Trump' territory — and that has real meaning, especially for our Black children in this moment," she wrote. "... I am appalled that the adults in your school district not only approved of this sign, but are actively celebrating it, making it the featured photograph on the official school team Twitter page. This is what racism in America looks like today."


Holy fricking shite.

Obviously "Trump Perry" is a double entendre for "Beat Perry" and "Welcome to the Jungle [Insert racial slur].

I think they just really want Rick Perry to replace Pence as VP in 2020. No harm, no fowl.

calling it "insensitive, intimidating and offensive."

Are they supposed to make banners supporting the other team?

Ya know, I’m not a fan of bullying or harassment, but kids shouldn’t be protected 24/7 from meanness. They need to learn how to deal with shite like that because not everybody is gonna be all kind and cuddly in real life. It’s not all rainbows and unicorns in the real world. Parents are raising a bunch of kids that won’t be able to deal with the trials and tribulations that come with life.

Kind of like the "My interpretation of you protesting during the Anthem offends me" argument. I agree that it's idiotic.
