– I do not think it is okay that it should not be law, says Elisabeth Alstad. Alstad is the acting principal at Bispehaugen school in Trondheim. The KrF has decided that they want a ban on all flags other than the Norwegian, Sami and Kven in Norwegian school yards. – It sends a wrong signal, that we should not be allowed to decide. What the colors stand for are values we in school want to promote. KrF politician David Hansen refed the flag ban from the pulpit before it was adopted. Do not have to stand in the grounds of KrF, it says that “school leaders should not have to stand in the squeeze annually with what occasions should be flagged and not”. – We do not feel that there has been anything squeeze, we feel it as a natural thing that we mark that we are for these values. – I think once again we as school leaders will deal with plays that are just pure symbolic policy, says Frode Bjørgmo Strømsvik. He is principal at Åsheim secondary school in Trondheim. – I wish the parties had shown greater interest in the learning outbreak of Norwegian students, instead of this symbolic policy, he says. KrF is clear that they will only ban the pride flags in the flagpoles of the school. For example, students may still have pride flags on their bags. The Åsheim rector believes the KrF play is pure symbolic policy. Photo: Bjarte M. Johannesen / news cannot define the flag Right Deputy Tina Bru says that you put too much into what the pride flag stands for. – This is about the flag we should not do anything other than it is, a symbol of freedom and fellowship, that one should be fond of who you love. It symbolizes love. KrF leader Dag Inge Ulstein says the flag is linked to the pride marking and the organization Fri. He says there is obviously a political agenda around. Dag Inge Ulstein thinks the Right cannot decide has people put in the flag. Photo: news – It is precisely the platform that is very far from much of KrF’s policy, linked to surrogacy, gender change, abolition of sex purchase law and lowering of sexual age. – Freeline leader in FRI, Stephen Adom, responds to Ulstein’s play. – What Ulstein does is dishonest. He tries to paint a picture of the rainbow flag and free as a dangerous ideology and it all ends in a merger of claims that are not related to what free means or what the rainbow flag is. – This is a power grip that sets slice as a minority in an even more vulnerable position in society than we are already in, which leads our society into an evil spiral of a negative debate climate about our lives, about us as completely real people, says Adom.

Bjørgmo Strømsvik at Åsheim secondary school says that they mostly flag with the pride flag in Prideuka, but that there is usually a green flag. This is an environmental certification flag. – The flagpoles in Trondheim municipality should preferably not be empty. If the KrF were to get through its proposal in the Storting, this would also mean that this flag could not hang. -Politicians must be guarded against making an injunction/ban society, says Bjørgmo Strømsvik and emphasizes:-It is more of a citizen consideration than the principal’s consideration.
