Just days prior to the start of Pride Month, Niagara Catholic District School Board sent a letter announcing its decision — for the first time — to fly the Pride flag at all board schools and sites throughout the month of June.
The letter, written by director of education Camillo Cipriano, said Niagara Catholic is flying a locally created version of the flag designed by staff in the president’s office at Brock University.
Cipriano wrote, that while “not all of our families support flying the progress Pride flag … we see the flag as a very clear and public display that all who come to Niagara Catholic schools and sites are welcome, accepted, unconditionally loved and respected as children of God.”
“Not all our families support flying the pride flag … so fuck them”
