Yes I saw that. I'm not sure it's accurate. It's down "pending a review". I do hope they raise it again after the temperature has cooled.

flying the flag has everything to do with the protest, white supremacy and all that entails, no black in Union Jack, resonated,....

The key issue was a racist uniform policy punishing the natural hair of many of the pupils. As I say I am pleased that that has been withdrawn but I do not understand why the union flag has been dragged into it.

Untitled, now, after all your support for the freedoms these students demand with their head coverings, you're reduced to claiming it was specifically about banning Afros. That corner you've painted yourself into is becoming smaller and smaller. This whole charade - and the politically correct support its generating from the virtue signallers is absolutely disgraceful.

"The academy has now removed the flag and will conduct a review of whether it should be flown on its grounds."

This sounds like a stalling tactic to me... I should hope the review ultimately results in it going back up when things have calmed down and this is behind them.

Clearly ....

and I don't see how the UK flag is related to any of this. Mainly I feel sorry for these snowflakes when they get out into the world and find that it ain't a cake walk.

Rubbish. You, yourself, have prattled on about colourful headgear and how it isn't fair to ask students to conform to school rules.

I have prattled on about afros too naomi! Once again you position yourself as the arbiter of reality.

Impossible. I've yet to find any reality in posts like yours that blow with the wind.
