Reply to comment by delusions- in Central Bucks bans Pride flags and other staff ‘advocacy’ amid federal investigation into treatment of LGBTQ students by ESGSGX
Thank you for the enlightening explanations.
I don’t think bullying of LGBTQ+ students in schools is a super pervasive problem. But regardless, to suggest that a teacher who doesn’t hang a pride flag in class is signaling toleration for LGBTQ+ bullying is quite a perverse and dogmatic way of thinking.

You asked two questions and I answered them. You didn't ask for explanations.
No one cares what you think.
In general, but especially because you think that anyone suggested that we were saying
>that a teacher who doesn’t hang a pride flag in class is signaling toleration for LGBTQ+ bullying
The parentheses were the important part of your first statement.
It's not the teacher; it's those in charge, if there's a rule against the flags, it shows that those in charge are they themselves bullying, and not only tolerate it, but push it.

That’s why explanations are helpful. I asked whether the absence of pride flags in classes signals support for LGBTQ+ bullying by teachers or those in charge (i.e., administrators). Your response was “yes”.
I agree pride flags shouldn’t be formally prohibited. I also don’t think any person or institution - be it a teacher, or the school itself - should be required or otherwise pressured to hang a pride flag if they choose not to.

Literally no one is or ever has been, they've only been forced to remove it.
