Nazi flags can fly in Utah school, but not pride flags, GOP lawmaker says
A new bill would allow for Nazi and Confederate flags to be displayed in Utah schools and government buildings, but pride flags would be banned.
You're viewing a single thread.
Headline is kind of clickbait
The bill also allows for the flying of a āhistoric version of a flag ... that is temporarily displayed for educational purposes,ā
āThere are instances where in classrooms, you have curriculum that is needed to use flags such as World War II, Civil War,ā he said. āYou may have a Nazi flag. You may have a Confederate flag, and so you are allowed to display those flagsā¦ as part of the curriculum, and that is okay.ā
The law is still dumb for wanting to ban the pride flag.
I would just show the kids a picture of the flag in the book and if they donāt understand why some Americans are objecting to the flying of a Nazi flag. Maybe they should read the damn book. ļæ¼
I had a teacher put a Confederate flag in our classroom 'for history'. She also spent the entire weeks-long Civil War module drilling into our young minds that the war was about States' rights, not slavery.
This was a popular thing when I was young, and yes there was a debate over what state laws/federal laws wanted, but Kansas has a very interesting history - were runaway slaves left Missouri and headed into Lawrence and people of Missouri took the law into their own hands to hunt down fugitive- runaway slaves, sometimes because they just wanted the bounty or the reward.
In one incident, the sheriff from a city in Missouri was shot at and as a response people from Missouri Road into Lawrence and burnt down most of the big buildings and killed a couple of people and stole several horses. This was known as the border war and it occurred far before 1861. It was all about racism, hatred, and money, and it had absolutely nothing to do with state rights ļæ¼ļæ¼ļæ¼ļæ¼ļæ¼
Yep, it was about the north fighting for their right not NOT participate in slavery, as the south tried to force slavery upon them (fugitive slave act), then seceded from the US and attacked it.
It was the war of southern aggression.
I'm pretty sure the flag was the least of the problems here.
The flag was a (partially) red flag
How would a pride flag not be a part of history unless you are openly admitting to altering history
You do make a good point.
Although the idea that the 80s is being taught in history classes makes me feel old.
Greenday plays on the classic rock station, the 80s is practically ancient history, haha /s and now crying
