We asked my daughter’s middle school to remove the LGBT flag from her classrooms because it goes against our values and they’re pushing back. Discussion/Debate

They said that displaying the lgbt flag aligns with their inclusivity values and being asked to remove the flag goes against their anti-discrimination policy. ( which I haven’t read). Has anyone challenged their schools to remove this flag? What has been your experience?

Yeah but doesn’t it make you wonder? You’re only ever going to get one narrative and other possibilities will never be explored or get smothered.

Absence of evidence is not evidence. You can make up anything you want, but that’s all it is, your imagination.

Yeah I know I get that. I understand what you are saying. But what I asked you initially was if there was ever conclusive research showing the opposite of the links you listed, do you think it would be published and widely spread?

Like what specifically?

I just meant like what if substantial evidence came out that being gay was a choice and people weren’t born that way? That would fly right in the face of the current cultural notion that people are born gay and they have no control over it. Do you think those findings would be published as laudably as the articles that you cited earlier? And i understand this is a hypothetical.
