TLDR: A trustee in Ontario’s Niagara Catholic District School Board, Natalia Benoit, is attempting to ban the Pride flag from schools, citing adherence to Catholic teachings. Benoit was previously censured in January for comparing the Pride flag to the Nazi flag, which led to her suspension from board meetings. Despite the controversy, she is again pushing for the ban, arguing that no flag causing conflict should be displayed. The board’s education director supports the flag, calling it a symbol of inclusion for marginalized 2SLGBTQ+ students. The issue continues to divide the board and public.

It always amazes me that the most unChristian people in the world are the ones who profess the loudest that they are Christians.

The sentiment of inclusion with the flag is nice. Just a thought, but I wonder if a colour was added for straight people, highlighting that all stripes of folks are included and can feel proud, would help to quash the negative reactions by women like this.

The Bible doesn’t say that. It says let the world be the fallen world it always has been, but through Jesus we can strive to be different. She’s making the mistake of forcing her beliefs on people that might be non-Christian.

It takes serious deranged logic to compare the two. Not suitable for office.

I can’t imagine wanting to spend this much of your time and energy on a flag.

If we allow Hezbolla and Daesh flags, we need to allow Nazi flag as well. Based on what I saw on a Oct 7 celebration meeting in Ottawa, we’re very close to normalize Holocaust anyways.
