Oregon School's Pride Flag Riles Up Parents

Banks, or - rainbow-colored flags are always considered "banners of pride" and symbolize the movement of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender. But for some residents of a small city in Oregon this is a political statement that needs to be eliminated.

There are about 1,700 parents at Banks High School in Banks. They have recently started applying for Change.org seeking to remove the flag from campus.

The petition is stated as follows. "This is because we believe it will create hostile learning environments for students who dislikes publicly supporting LGBTQ + communities at public schools from various political and religious backgrounds"

"We feel that skipping a pride banner is not part of a productive learning environment and the school should be a neutral zone with no political or other agenda," it said .

However, some residents of this small town in Oregon 's wine - growing area are named for the name of the dairy not to match.

"This is because students know that Banks High School is supporting them, it is not my intention to make parents unhappy," Munda told Oregoner. "This is not what I want"

In a statement to the media, the bank school district acknowledged that three flags were hanging in the classroom.

"In the bank school district, the goal is to create an environment where all students are welcomed and become a safe and cooperative feeling," the statement says. "We follow the policy of the Board of Education and the laws of Oregon State which clearly states that students are not discriminated against in the school environment."

If this concerns the southern identity of the Civil War, you will also expect that the flag split is regional, but in the 2000 - 2015 poll the support for the Midwestern Union flag Were nearly equal, there was public opinion. This survey also surpassed the survey in the south. People driving in rural areas such as Maine State and Michigan State reported that they were viewing the flag of the Confederates displayed individually. The symbolic meaning of the flag moves from the south to the outside and is looking for new supporters of comrades

In the past two years, Leo Hayes High School raised a prideful flag in front of the school to celebrate Pride Week. This week is Gay Direct Alliance 's week. Here we celebrate diversity and promote the acceptance of students with a small number of sexes. Considering the study conducted in Canada in 2009, 73% of LGBTQ students reported that they feel dangerous at school. This is a very important week. This is a petition calling on the New Brunswick state government to allow schools to increase their self-esteem. Because children's safety and acceptance is more important than laws forgotten for two years. The flag of pride shows students and the public that the school is a safe and acceptable place for everyone.
