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.

Not really any different in my eyes.

If a private school my kids don't go to wants to show support for things that's their concern not mine. Private means it's not my money, so it's none of my business.

Now if a publicly funded school is flying the Hamas flag or something. Then I'd argue there's a problem.

But it is the business of the parents paying to send their kids there

I'm sure someone with enough money will have a stern word or three and the principal will find a different hobby soon enough

 

[ShaunSA]

and there are schools\places where the hamas flag would definately be welcome...

I don't have an issue with this flag, I'm just cautious of posturing... and what it opens doors to.

Indeed. And you'd take your kids and run a mile from these schools/places

There is a difference between someone's expression and a principal deciding to wade his school into schit though

I wonder what his google search history will reveal

I don't think there is a flag for letting the coaches pomp the waterpolo boys.

I wonder whatever happened to Fiona

And perhaps google MAP's then see if you want them showing up on that 2SABCXYZ flag you're so eager to defend

She is stuck with those insipid UK boys now.... according to reports.

And what if it's a private school that wants to fly the swastika?

Or the old SA flag in the case of @supersunbird?

Ban ass flags

Ban ass flags

Not sure any school is going to fly the taliban flag

Although nothing would surprise me

Nah, she's in SA [actually still in the Western Cape] and married to a Bishops boy. The extended family did go to the UK for a bit, but her father really hated the UK so came back to SA.

It has been my experience that the rich folk are by far the most accepting of every brand of XYZ.

Strongly suspect no stern words will happen and all the outrage is entirely external to the school itself.

Everything is "Under Siege" nowadays. MyBB bot needs to expand it's vocabulary.

That being said, it's up to the parents to complain about that gay flag. If they start speaking with their wallets it will go down faster than an 80yo dude without viagra.

Bloody gruesome that is. Hope he didn't eat the head. That would have been bad for his health.

he was kind though, he just let the jackals and wolves eat it,
now all us Jews know who he is, and why he's so revered even today.
