    Looking at the list, it seems to me that they’re trying to rein in conservative hate speech, either by stopping conservative teachers from posting discriminatory signs, or by stopping conservatives from complaining about progressive signs. They are in a very conservative area.

    But in the process, they are pissing the progressives off, too.

        Two reasons immediately come to mind. One, whatever else this is, it’s a limitation on free speech. The more wily reason is that conservatives don’t seem to think about things too deeply, so if progressives put up a fuss, conservatives will simply assume that they’re winning.
