Pride flag gone at local public elementary school

Yesterday, I walked by West Woodland Elementary and noticed both the American flag and the Pride flag flying at half-mast. I assumed it might have been some kind of protest.

Today, I passed by again. The American flag was back up — but the Pride flag was gone, its tattered remains caught in a nearby tree. Looking back at my first photo, I realized the flag had already been ripped.

It’s hard to think of a more fitting metaphor for the state of politics in the US, one flag raised high, the other left in shreds.

Is this happening at other Seattle Public Schools too?
