Flag debacle: “We live in Austria, don’t we?”
On Friday, a decoration project at the HTL Braunau caused quite a stir in the media. Similar to crosses, a ban on the Austrian flag was introduced there. This had no place in the classroom. The legal reasons and rambling topics led to heated discussions in our forum.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The school class only wanted to decorate their classroom, but then a faux pas happened. Hanging up the Austrian flag and coat of arms was illegal and out of place. Legally, this is absolutely correct. The flag and coat of arms are reserved for federal institutions and other state bodies.
"Please, what kind of teacher is that?"
Despite being legally correct, our readers were outraged. The teacher who complained about the use of the flag was criticized. According to readers, she shouldn't have complained in the first place.
"There is no added value for a country if someone waves a flag around!"
When does national pride go too far? Does a flag have any place in a school classroom or not? Is this relevant to the education of young people? Is patriotism an outdated idea or the cornerstone of a nation? Opinions differed greatly here.
What do you think of this case? How much patriotism is okay? Should the use of the flag and coat of arms be allowed? We look forward to more messages and opinions in the comments below!
