Hundreds of high school students protest Carlsbad's recent Pride flag decisions, administrator's remarks
Students at Sage Creek and Carlsbad high schools walked out of classes Tuesday morning over recent decisions by the Carlsbad Unified School District Board and the Carlsbad City Council not to display the Pride flag.
“Our first priority is to ensure student safety,” Churchill said. “We’re pleased to hear that the student-organized walkouts were peaceful this morning, with minimal disruptions to student learning. We’re told that students returned to class after the walkouts ... and that the focus at both schools continues to be on getting ready for next week’s final exams and commencement ceremonies.”
“We’re ambassadors for Christ,” Williams said in the video, which aired on multiple news stations a little more than a week ago. “That doesn’t mean we’re not going to hurt people’s feelings, that doesn’t mean people aren’t going to walk away frustrated or upset.” Ash Bering, 16, one of the organizers of the walkouts at Carlsbad and Sage Creek high schools, speaks to fellow students.
