Nova Scotia Teachers Union questions need to take down flags representing Mi’kmaq, African Nova Scotian, LGBTQ+ and other communities
A Nova Scotia centre for education has issued a directive allowing only Canada and Nova Scotia flags to fly outside South Shore schools – a move the provincial teachers union calls concerning and confusing.
The South Shore Regional Centre for Education, which represents 23 English-language elementary, middle and high schools, said in a statement that flags that are not of Canada or Nova Scotia will be taken off flagpoles and displayed inside the schools. It issued the directive to its schools on Friday.
Day said that while it’s great to have symbols celebrating Nova Scotia’s diverse student population inside schools, flags should be displayed outside for all to see. “This is a first step in ensuring we are following expected flag protocols and have flags that are in the proper condition. We are continuing to have discussions and researching next steps on how we may be able to expand beyond the Canada flag,” she said.
