Pride unity flag in my kid's classroom! So much HBOT fodder...

The meaning is that we exist. Just as a wedding ring means your marriage exists.
FiveCard, the TCI of Iowa worker in the past? Where did you go to high school FiveCard? And what year did you graduate?
We only stick out penises in mouths and butts. You had to add vaginas. Why did you have to take our normal activity and kink it up?
My thought: the flag itself doesn't concern me. The character of a teacher who feels it's appropriate decor in an English classroom does concern me.
I'd have the same thought if there were a maga flag, one of those "don't tread on me" snake flags, etc.
You’re just going to have to pray some more, then you’ll get your answers.
I exist but I don't need a flag to announce my existence. Flag has a lot more meaning than shear existence.
Just no need to bring it into a classroom.
1. Side wall, prominent, it's a full size flag like you'd hang outside on a pole.
2. The school tries to be accepting of all viewpoints. Think of a Christian School that's more of a private school where professors and business owners send their kids than one that concerns itself with being particularly Christian.
Would people object to the Soviet flag flying alongside?
In 1933, the Soviet government under Stalin recriminalized sex between men. On 7 March 1934, Article 121 was added to the criminal code for the entire Soviet Union that expressly prohibited only male homosexuality, with up to five years of hard labor in prison.
So why do you wear a wedding ring? Your marriage exists. Why do you have to announce it?
I would be ok with that in a social studies classroom, or a class that naturally leads itself to debate (talking middle school or older here). This is English, so no, I wouldn't feel that was appropriate either.
Love is all of those things. ^^ However, allowing anyone to do anything they wish at any time that they wish, etc, etc...is not love.
I prayed to my sky fairy and it said you're not as good of a golfer as your handicap leads people to think. You cheat. You can't be trusted in business.
A wedding ring is something I wear on my person and is smaller and far less noticeable.
If teacher wants to wear a gay price necklace or bracelet or something like on that on his person I'm ok with it. Certainly ok if a gay person wears a wedding ring.
Biblically the flag represents sin. Pretty simple there. I'm thinking about it from an English classroom perspective though.
The reason for putting the flag in the classroom is either self-seeking, intended to dishonor others, or arguably delights in evil (from a biblical perspective).
is it english as in grammar or english as in literature?
because themes of love and who's considered a freak or outcast by society are super common in literature
This is pretty much my stance on it. I wouldn’t hang it which is how I feel about hanging up The Ten Commandments. It’s forced. I know many of the righties on here think I have no business working with children but I will not discuss politics with them. It’s not my job. I’m trying to help raise caring kids who will contribute to society positively.
How dare you refer to your god as ‘it.’ You best call it ‘him’ & make sure you capitalize that H you scoundrel.
I agree with you.
I think the more apt comparison would be "is Huey allowed to wear a wedding ring?" I don't hear anyone suggesting he can't, but that seems to be what he wants to imply.

The only viewpoint she is endorsing is recognizing that there are all different types of people and they should all be respected.
Imagine being OPPOSED to that message, lol.
To be fair the don't say gay law could potentially be understood as that. Which is why I opposed it. It's not like people were having classroom discussions of sexual orientation in elementary school classrooms. And changes in curriculum come from the department of education. This was an open invitation to harass homosexual teachers using the courts.
Where is the straight flag? Would you have a problem with a Cross or Bible in the classroom or a Republican elephant poster?
Tell us about all the hardships you have faced being a straight man in this country.
No that's specifically about LGBTQ people, which tends to be associated with political goals such as acceptance of trans people as being the same as persons born of a certain sex and allowances for children to receive hormonal treatments.
The flag is about more than just "accepting and being nice" to everybody.
It's a political symbol. The progressive left has loaded a bunch of stuff on to the flag.

I'm not saying those things have created extra hardships on me. I'm saying flags almost always represent political goals as the rainbow flag does. There is a reason they have to change it because their goals change.
If you don't think the gay lobby has made being gay political, you are too stupid to vote.
