'This school board is unsafe for York Region’s LGBTQ2IA+ community,' Pflag says after YCDSB trustees vote against flying Pride flag
, York Catholic District School Board trustees voted 6 – 4 against flying the Pride Progress flag outside the Aurora building next month.
“Others belittled our Progress Pride Flag, calling it just a piece of fabric with no ties to our movement. These comments lack a true understanding of our community despite the learning trustees claimed to undertake.” “This school board is unsafe for York Region’s LGBTQ2IA+ community and it is kept unsafe by a group of York Catholic Board Trustees who weaponize their faith against marginalized communities,” the statement read.
“The flag itself was created out of an act of protest,” Coolman told CP24 on Tuesday morning, adding that he believes schools would be protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
