๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ One of my students made a good point recently. A flag is a symbol of a country or more appropriately, a nation. Many are saying they don't want to fly the symbol of their nation because a small minority have hijacked it and turned it into a weapon of hate. That's not how democracy works. If we all fly the flag of our nation as we celebrate what we find great about it then we remove that weaponisation.
