Principal caught popping rainbow balloons supporting LGBTQ students
Principal Bipul Singh, the principal of Georgia’s Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary School, was caught on video stabbing a bouquet of rainbow balloons that were sent in support of a student whose LGBTQ artwork had been taken down by school officials, who compared it to a Nazi flag. The balloons were reportedly sent directly to Singh and Vice Principal Sandra Scott with a note proclaiming, “GAY IS OK,”* the same message that was displayed on the student’s banned rainbow art work.
Parents say it wasn’t the first time the school has had issues with discrimination.
“There are ongoing complaints about this current administration being discriminatory against women, being discriminatory against LGBTQ people, being discriminatory against English language learners or emerging bilinguals, emerging multilingual and Spanish speakers,” said parent Jemelleh Coes. “So we have seen a pattern of inequity at our school and we have been asking for support at this point for years.”
* School said this is similar to the Nazi flag:

Well, it seems Principal Singh isn’t getting the job done.
