    The title didn’t day it is happening right now. It said that is what is on their “vision board”.

      ‘“vision board” outlaws’ is pretty unambiguously saying the board is doing the outlawing.
      They didn’t say “wants to outlaw” or “would outlaw”

          You’re right, I’m a member of the general public who has never heard the term before.
          So I have

          • the general understanding that a “board” is usually a group of individuals with some sort of authority.
          • An unknown adjectival noun “vision”. And
          • the present tense verb “outlaws”

          The headline could have replaced “vision board” with the word “proposals” used in the first sentence of the article and been more clear. But I feel like the choice may have been a deliberate one to drive clicks. (outlaws -> propose it should be outlawed)

          If it’s supposed to be this sort of hokey motivational poster, is this really a common term now? Maybe I am too old.

          Edit: Very interesting. This term has a definite trend in January (New Year’s resolutions?) but the trend only seems to have kicked off around 2011. https://i.imgur.com/SQDyfSS.png

          Old confirmed! There are dozens of us!

        I made some vision boards back in grade school but I don’t remember them having too much political power
