Gatekeeping the Red, White, and Blue: Should Parents Have More Control Over What Their Children Are Exposed to in School?

By @hectorctry512

A few years ago I sat in a crowded cafeteria for a curriculum night that felt more like a town hall. On one side, parents worried about a new social studies unit they thought leaned too hard into guilt and grievance. On the other, teachers who had spent https://ultimate-flags.ewr1.vultrobjects.com/ultimate-flags.html months designing lessons to help students analyze primary sources and wrestle with the complexity of our country. Everyone cared about kids learning the trut

District leaders be aware of this, which is why a debate that appears useful at the surface regularly turns messy on the ground: which flags are allowed, which are not, and who gets to figure out.

Identity or Control: Are Schools Deciding Which Flags Matter?

By @hectorctry512

A high tuition central informed me anything I still take into accounts on every occasion a flag debate flares up. After a week of nerve-racking guardian emails and college students arguing in the halls, she took down every nonrequired banner inside the development, adding physical activities pennants, a international languages flag wall, and a small Pride flag within the counseling workplace. She left one: the three-by-five American flag pinned to a corkboard in the back of
