Top South African private school under siege over flying the LGBTQ+ Pride flag

Bishops Diocesan College used to fly only its own flag, the South African flag, and the St George's flag. However, the addition of the LGBTQ+ Pride flag has caused an uproar.

Schools should fly the SA flag and their own...

I preferred that other Bishops controversy because it came with good photos

Everybody knows the flag should be flown upside down to indicate they're under siege.

And to think people entrust them to educate kids.

Considered that this more than likely originates from the students?

You know the people who actually go to the school and need to be happy there.

Agree, my child's school does kak like this and it's their last day there. You can have a different sexuality or a mental illness, I couldn't really care, but the rest of us don't need to treat you like a survivor or with admiration.

Sounds like the flag physically assaulted someone from the response in some of these comments.

I am so glad that when we went to school in the 70s and 80s, we did not have this woke snowflake BS. I also agree with @Steamy Tom, if our kids' school tried something like that, that day would be their last day at said school. Tolerate it if you will, do not promote it and shove it down our throats. Let me decide who or what ideologies I can stand.

Phrasing!!

You sound terrfied of anything that doesn't conform to your narrow world view. What a way to live.

Back in the 80's we did significantly worse shiat than fly a scary flag to upset the delicate snowflake crowd.

You're insisting there are no gay scholars anywhere?

Fascinating

Seems some are quite butthurt over a flag

If schools were places of education, there would be no place for it, but since they are actually places of indoctrination, it's not surprising.

That's an odd thing to say ?

Would you rather people are not told about sexuality in high school ? I feel like that mistake has been made before.

Why the need to tell everyone that you are gay?

Should straight people have a flag to show that they are hetrosexual?

But the hetros are not persecuted and burned at the stake everyday morning at sunrise.

Why do you have a problem with communication?
