Vermont School District Faces Backlash After Raising Somali Flag

The Winooski School District disabled its website due to massive backlash after the district raised the Somali flag.

The district raised the Somali flag to show solidarity with the Somali community due to the intense criticism from the alleged fraud scheme in Minnesota.

Winooski School District spokeswoman Miriam Greenfield said, “We did receive a significant number of racist and hateful messages, many of which specifically referenced the Somali flag and Somali community members.”

Then don’t raise the Somali flag! The allegations in Minnesota are serious.

However, you can criticize all you want. But don’t leave those messages or threaten them.

There are stupid people out there so I am not shocked if people actually left those kind of messages.

Just don’t.
