Episode Details

Bishop ODowd High School in Oakland is ditching Pride flags starting in 2026-2027, replacing them with a new symbol called the “Inclusive O” — though its design remains mysterious. The move, led by school president Kim Walsh, aims to show continued support for LGBTQ+ students and staff, but has sparked backlash from alumni who argue it undermines inclusivity and erases visible representation. While the administration frames this as a forward-thinking evolution, critics see it as a step backward — leaving the campus community deeply divided over what true inclusion looks like.
