Alabama HS students want classroom LGBT flag removed, compare it to Confederate flag

Students and parents at a high school in Alabama are calling for the removal of a classroom LGBT “rainbow pride” flag, saying it is comparable to the Confederate flag.

More than 2,400 people thus far have signed a Change.org petition calling for the flag to be taken down at Auburn High School. “The following signers of this petition ask that the Pride Flag flown in Mrs. Yeager’s classroom be removed as we strongly feel that it creates a hostile and provocative learning environment for students not comfortable to openly supporting the LGBTQ+ community in a public school where students come from diverse political and religious backgrounds,” the petition reads.

“Furthermore, we believe it is unprofessional and distracting for a teacher to be so openly displaying their political views in an unbiased and socially neutral public setting.”

The New York Post reports the pride flag was hung up two weeks ago as part of a school fair.

The students’ petition asks school principal Shannon Pignato to “consider the uproar and chaos that would ensue were a teacher to hang for example a Confederate, Christian, or Heterosexual Flag in their classroom.

“There would likely be protests, emails from teachers, and threatening of lawsuits from parents with differing viewpoints. As such, one does not see teachers hanging these flags in classrooms due to the same argument that it is unprofessional and can create a hostile and unideal learning environment.

Now I remember - it was a private academy in Rocklin, CA. The people there are for the most part hard working, normal people; using logic and common sense. But it’s not stretching it much to think that no doubt bay area liberals have infected the area..they ruin where they live and then move on to some other city or state to do the same thing there.

There are exceptions to everything.

Would you deny my JROTC Classroom the Army Flag?

What about the State Flag?

Add in huge letters on the flag: Genesis 9:13 and start reclaiming that sucker back.

Don’t take the gay flag away (although I’d burn all of them if I could), but ADD A CONFEDERATE FLAG to keep things even.

“In the real world, to suggest individuals be isolated from differing political views is an absurdity. To be made uncomfortable by opinions differing to your own is to function as a modern human. Attempting to insulate a student from political discourse would be an insult to their intelligence,”

That from the proggie counter-petition. Proggies cannot even begin to see their two-facedness, their hypocrisy, their stupidity, their reality. They truly do have a mental disorder. They truly are nuts.

After viewing the comments in this forum, thought I’d suggest the following: advertise a flag burning, carry an American or confederate flag to the event BUT grab any/all rainbow one(s) for the actual celebration. After all the USSC says burning a flag is free speech, right??? Grab the hot dogs and buns, marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate and have good time. What you mean you’re not burning the confederate or US flags?????? But, but, but... Free speech, baby!

Especially useful if co-conspirators are in attendance to protect your “Free Speech” event.

The Bulldyke teacher should be fired. OUR schools aren’t for HER political statements. We pay for these clowns to educate children. Leave your BullyDyke hostility at home.

Rainbow flag honors God’s promise to Noah - so it should be removed under church and state, no?
