This school board again?? First banning books with 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ content, now an attempt to ban the flag itself?
Students who feel included and safe in their learning environment are more likely to achieve academic success. Banning an inclusive symbol, like the Pride flag, is unnecessarily cruel and demeaning for students and families who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+. 🌈
Please read my letter to WCDSB.
