The latest findings from one teaching union found the following https://www.nasuwt.org.uk/article-listing/covid-impacts-on-teacher-mental-health
No other profession had the constant scrutiny and scapegoating from the government and its media chums did it? But the anonymous survey reveals grim reading at a time when people are trying to support each other still.
Then Hunt goes on to tweet some of the most tone deaf and sinister rhetoric aiming this at people.
You couldn’t get hawking the latest populist gimmick more wrong if you tried. |  |

Your words are in the wrong order: schools should fly the Pride flag. |
They can fly that as well if they want |  |

National flags are used by a lot of far-right groups in different countries.
Largely, most British people aren’t patriotic as in fly-the-flag when compared to other societies- certainly if I see the Union flag flying high in someone’s garden I think that that person must be a bit odd - don’t think I’m the only one who thinks this.
Being patriotic doesn’t mean singing the national anthem and declaring your love to a family full of privilege. |
This is it exactly.
This type of shallow, flag-waving patriotism is like beating your missus for a year, demanding your Findus crispy pancakes are on the table of an evening and cheating on her but still buying her petrol station flowers on Valentine's day and saying everything's going well.
Proper patriotism is being active in your community, looking out for other people and generally doing right by your fellow man/woman/person.
Unfortunately, this goverment does the former while most want to do the latter. |  |

You and other patriots have a very shaky understanding of this country's history and language.
I agree we should promote education in both of those areas but don't think a piece of coloured cloth will be helpful in that. | |

I've never really cared much about flags and I don't agree at all with compulsory flying of flags, but why is our flag provoking intense reactions? It's our national flag, what other country in the world would be embarrassed to fly their own flag? |  |

Because our country is a country comprised of four countries with very different identities and histories whose collective flag has been used in three quarters of the world as a symbol of imperialism? | |

I agree that some people voted on a dislike of foreigners but It is ludicrous to suggest that this was the be all and end all. In my humble opinion those that spout that rubbish are just sore losers.
I thought long and hard about the whole thing and decided that it was better to remain - even though I can't stand the Brussels mafiosi.
Personally I think that people who suggest that everyone who voted Brexit is a racist are as thick as the racists that did. |
But that isn't what was said at all.
All who voted to leave should recognise this is one consequence of that vote. That is what was stated.
I (and the other poster), at no point said everyone who voted leave had racist motivations. I don't think it is too much of a stretch to say that (given the nature of the official leave campaign) they were not uncomfortable with getting into bed with racists and xenophobes.
Not all leave supporters are racist but all racists are leave supporters. |  |

The obsession with flags is probably one of the most ridiculous things done in the US and it's internally divisive with many in the south preferring to proudly display the flag of their pro-slavery descendants.
It happens in China once a week yet the US feel the need to do it daily. Just think about that for a minute. It's nationalistic nonsense.

I would suggest when we look at some of those countries who are particularly over fond of the flag waving, that we don't want to be like them. | |

Yeah, but apart from that.....
Also worth adding that the embarrassing part isn't so much the idea of schools flying the flag, it's the idea of making it compulsory. Very odd that an allegedly 'small state' proto-libertarian version of the Tories would have MPs who think the state should get invovled in making flags compulsory. The absolute state of it. |  |

A few of my colleagues do in their classroom. Some of us wear rainbow lanyards too to show support or start conversations. It’s notable that it was this lot that suppressed that through force of law too. | |

I’m not particularly anti our flag, or to be fair not against it at all - but if I were to fly a flag it would be the cross of St George. I’m English, not British if talking about nationality in that respect.
Tom Hunt is just an utter moron, who is proud of being so - just spends all his time trying to divide people rather than helping his constituency.
Does anyone really think schools should be flying the flag? Or singing the national anthem? Maybe Lords Prayer every morning as well......none of it offends me, but none of it is designed to help people | |

I couldn’t really care less either way about the flag but the issue is that it’s obvious and shamelessly being co-opted into this Tory culture war which is dividing and damaging the country.
Their whole raisin d’etre is to keep 45% of the country terrified of a bogey man that barely exists and this is the utterly transparent next phase.
Fcuk them. | | | |

No one is embarrassed to, it’s just racist dog whistle nonsense. I’m more embarrassed so many of our country’s school kids need feeding and these bastards tried to stifle that too.
They want to pay people in claps and flags so they can shove even more into their pockets. | |

Sure, that's why i'm against compulsory flags, and i do cringe when i see those with big flags in their gardens. But it is going too far the other way to start being embarrassed about it. | |

He’s right. Schools should fly the flag and they should do it with pride. |
Should they fly flags that represent the nationalities of all staff and students too?
Some schools will have lots of flag poles.
I do like the fact that it will show how multi-cultural some schools are, though. | |
