It’s a sign of the times.
Our local Primary school, serving a community of 2500, has recently painted the outdoor cement staircase that leads up from the school to the playground and soccer field. Each tread is painted in one of the colours that make up the rainbow flag.
This change is the culmination of a long program to inculcate and promote transgender ideology, all in the guise of promoting “inclusion” and countering “bullying”. The idea is to indicate that the school affords a “safe place” to LGBTQ+ whose numbers are perhaps negligible. In the service of this cause each and every Thursday when school is in session has been designated “Rainbow Day”. Presumably other days of the week have been set aside for actual instruction in grammar and math, but some parents have expressed scepticism in that regard. A few of my acquaintance have even pulled their children out of class in protest, but obviously they have failed to grasp that literacy is a trivial pursuit relative to the importance of encouraging kids to explore their gender identities.
