While the resolution passed technically states that the district can only fly the U.S. and California flags on their campus, much of the debate has stemmed around the LGBTQ+ pride flag.
Sunol Glen Unified has flown the pride flag on its campus in the past.
Many of those opposed to this new rule says being able to fly flags like pride flags demonstrates that the district remains an open and inclusive place for all. Several people also tell us they believe the resolution will have detrimental impacts on the district's LGBTQ+ students and community. "For many kids, the only safe and welcoming and affirming place they have is their school. And when we see school board members that don't acknowledge that and actively push policies against that, it harms gay kids, it harms gay families," said Austin Bruckner-Carrillo of Castro Valley Pride.
