"The flag, made and hung by the school's 20-member Diversity Club" is incorrect. I am a member of the club, and the flag was in fact donated to us by another teacher for our use. We later asked for permission to hang the flag and hung it only after approval and with help from the staff

Reporters sometimes get the facts wrong. I assumed the administrators okayed everything.

I am completely for tolerance. However, church and state need to be separated. Practice religion outside of schools anytime and way you want. Without the separation, then neither will function properly.

The intention of the Founding Fathers was to avoid a state controlled or state sponsored religion. It was never to CENSOR religion. Thanks to activist judges whose main guide is 'precidence' or so called 'social justice' instead of 'original intent', that is what we have today.

Even if it was a "gay pride" flag, it wouldn't be hurting anyone.

Why does a gay pride flag(sanctioned[that's the key word] by administrators) belong in the public schools?

And what would happen if students wanted the Vatican Flag, or Israeli flag(with the Star of David)? Would that have the same cooperation by the administrators? Or would it be shot down. Or I'll go a step further. The Confederate Flag(and no I don't fly one as my ancestors were unionists). I'll gaurantee that would be shot down.
