With Pride Month going on, social media users are not just lashing out at brands. Now, even schools seem to have come under fire, as recently, Pringle Creek Public School was the recipient of massive backlash after it organized a Pride party at the school premises. All of this was brought to the notice of social media users after a few netizens posted glimpses of the party.

During the party, the Pringle Creek Public School also scattered a few printouts with affirmations for the students. One of the affirmations read:

“I can change exactly how I am referred to by the people in my life and this can change at any time and for any reason."

Another one said:

"I am allowed to choose how and when I share and teach others about my experience as someone who is queer and/or trans.”

At the moment, the school has not responded to the backlash or criticism. However, @ChanLPfa did inform that the school blocked her account after they became aware of the hate comments against them.

With many brands like Target, JCrew, Bud Light, and Coach facing backlash for pride-themed collaborations and launches, Pringle Creek Public School has also joined the list, as many labeled the school as a “woke” one.
