“I stored it some place and can’t track down it,” she said, chuckling.
She additionally referenced that during the Vow of Faithfulness, she tells her understudies they can decide to stand or not, and say the words or not, as they wish.
Kristin Pitzen, an educator at Newport Plateau School Region in Orange District, posted a TikTok video (presently erased) saying she brought down the American banner from her study hall since it made her “awkward.”
“I set it aside some place and can’t track down it,” she said, chuckling.
She additionally expressed that during the Vow of Faithfulness, she tells her understudies they can decide to stand or not and say the words or not.
At the point when an understudy requested that what take a gander at during the vow since there was no American banner, Pitzen flippantly said they could vow to the pride banner on the wall.
Online responses to Pitzen’s activities were for the most part negative. One individual said the banner addresses the opportunity we have today and added, “You ought to instruct that it’s for individuals who gave you the opportunity and satisfaction you have now.”
Someone else remarked, “The banner represents the individuals who battled for our opportunity, and you fail to really see how great we have it. Offending the banner is an affront to our country.”
In one more erased video, Pitzen showed her study hall enriched with different banners for Pride Month. She said, “I vow faithfulness to the queers,” and communicated help for every one of her understudies.
The people group and the educational committee didn’t support her activities, seeing them as improper and impolite to the American banner. Accordingly, a few guardians put banners on the school’s yard to show their nationalism. Michele Vaughn, a mother with a child in the military, said, “I might want to make sense of for her the significance of regarding the banner.”
A few remarks even proposed Pitzen could favor living in Afghanistan, focusing on the significance of regarding and respecting the banner that addresses the country’s qualities and opportunities.
Since the video turned out in 2021, Pitzen has erased all her online entertainment accounts and is done educating. An examination is continuous.
The occurrence has ignited banters about opportunity of articulation, regard for public images, and the job of teachers in advancing inclusivity and variety. The school region has not yet answered, and many are standing by to see how they will respond.
