Political Correctness Has Gone Too Far: School Principal Cancels Pride Month Because ‘We Can’t Afford to Teach Kids When Is Pride Month When They Can’t Even Read’
A suburban elementary school principal has ignited a firestorm of outrage after announcing the cancellation of all Pride Month activities, claiming the school “can’t afford to teach kids when is Pride Month when they can’t even read.” Parents and activists are accusing the district of moral cowardice, arguing that the decision is a direct attack on LGBTQ+ visibility and a dangerous step toward erasing decades of hard-won social progress. Critics warn this is the latest symptom of a society that prioritizes ignorance over inclusion, as the school board defends the move by citing budget cuts and low test scores. One furious parent told reporters, “They’re using literacy as a shield for bigotry. We are watching the downfall of decency in real time.”
