An Oregon school board has banned educators from displaying Black Lives Matter and gay pride symbols, prompting a torrent of recriminations and threats to boycott the town and its businesses.

Newberg, a town of 25,000 residents situated 25 miles southwest of Portland in gorgeous wine country, has become an unlikely focal point of a battle between the left and right across the nation over schooling.

The same week, word emerged that some Newberg students had participated in a Snapchat group in which participants pretended to buy and sell Black fellow students. Newberg Public Schools Superintendent Joe Morelock said there will be an investigation and disciplinary action meted out. “A simple pride or BLM flag in a classroom shows the love and acceptance that we need," Till said, his voice shaking with anger."Pride flags can literally save someone’s life, and you’re just going to take that away?”

“It has been difficult to see a community divided. You can see the anguish on both sides. It makes being an educator harder than it already was,” said a faculty member at Newberg High School. In June 2020 — as Black Lives Matter protests roiled the nation after the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis — the board took a completely different stance, condemning racism and committing to being an anti-racist school district. But conservatives gained a majority in school board elections last May amid a light turnout, and everything changed.

Of course they did. They have the very conservative George Fox College. So sad.

Wjy cant we just use the state flag, the us flag and a school banner. There is no reason to bring in anything else.

You better not back down, Oregon. The BLM and LGBT+ have agendas and no one pushing agendas should be allowed to advertise their movement - otherwise, you will have one huge sh** storm coming.

Those signs should not be in any school district in America unless other signs are allowed to. Without the other signs it’s an effort to indoctrinate our children. School board is right.

Good move. Stupid shit like that should never be in a school.

Ummm, the BLM movement is not 'anti-racist' soooo.

That’s actually disgusting

Some places cling to the 1950s

Can’t talk about Jesus in school so you shouldn’t be able to talk politics either, left or right.

They’re not educators they’re political predators

Welcome to Alabama. Oh this is not Alabama? Could have fooled me. I bet displaying Trump and or MAGA symbols are perfectly just fine.

So be it

Educators are supposed to be neutral in public education settings, especially in regards to politics and religion.

Such a sad bunch of racists on the Newberg, OR, School Board. I will gladly boycott Newberg until they are gone...
