11Alive.The local LGBTQ advocacy group Athens Pride criticized the principal and vice principal for removing the art ion a Facebook post.“It’s been brought to our attention that one local school’s administration at Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary did not find the art to be ‘okay.’ A local teacher has had the art hanging in her classroom since October, as part of several different student art pieces.
According to the teacher, one parent eventually complained to the principal,” the organization wrote.“The principal reportedly asked the teacher to move the art to a less offensive place — she stood in solidarity with the student and did not remove the piece.
We have been told she was then summoned to the principal and vice principal’s office, where the display of the rainbow and verbiage were reportedly likened to ‘displaying a Nazi symbol’ by the school’s vice principal,” the post continued.The artwork in question was then allegedly taken down over the teacher’s protests. “Our schools should be a safe place for all children to thrive,” Athens Pride added in its post. “What message has now been sent to our students and their teachers about how safe their school is for LGBTQ+ children?
Athens Pride and Athens Queer Collective remain committed to fighting back against all forms of oppression here at home. We talk often about how inclusive Athens is — we must make sure that inclusiveness is found in the aisles of our businesses and the classrooms in our schools.
