For the simple reason that they are divisive symbols that make some kids more important than others. That did not sit well with Newberg Public Schools Board chair Dave Brown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt still goes back to the fact that we have a lot of kids that are impacted by this positively or negatively,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a school board, it\u2019s our job to make decisions that are going to be there for every single kid at Newberg High School, not just the kids that are represented in just one group \u2014 it has to be all kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The board backed a plan, by a 4-3 vote, that prohibits signs, clothing, and other items deemed to be \u201cpolitical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a four-hour virtual meeting, school board director and vice-chair Brian Shannon also spoke out against what he viewed as \u201cdivisive symbols\u201d and requested a ban on teachers wearing clothing linked to BLM or homosexual movements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main goal of this is to get political symbols and divisive symbols out of our schools so we can focus on the already difficult task of educating our students in the core subjects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The move brought complaints that the schools cater to \u201cnormal\u201d students and that the divisive flags give a secure feeling to students who don\u2019t feel normal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite and or heteronormative students, the majority, see their own validation consistently in the curriculum Newberg School districts have adopted and therefore do not need extra messages of support,\u201d Teacher Stacey Dalton said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A school board in Oregon has voted to ban homosexual &#8220;pride&#8221; and Black Lives Matter (BLM) flags from its district school buildings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-637715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=637715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=637715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=637715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=637715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
