Pride flag controversy: Student walkout turns hostile at Catholic high school in Ontario
Students at a number of Catholic schools in York Region in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in Ontario, Canada held walkouts Thursday to demonstrate against the board’s recent decision not to fly the Pride flag outside their headquarters during Pride month.
But at one school, those protests took an unexpected turn.
Dozens of students participated in the walkout at St. Brother Andre in Markham, Ont. But these intended messages were quickly drowned out by the noise of a rowdy crowd that had joined the demonstration.
The disruptive group of students tore through Pride posters, shouted homophobic slurs, danced on Pride flags and threw Pride bracelets and random objects at people, according to witnesses.
