Sure seems like an awful lot of this was caused by the school being overly heavy handed in their actions towards the child.
Also the argument that pupils shouldn’t be wearing ‘signs of political allegiance’ looks a bit odd when they’re flying a Union flag over the front gate.
So this row wasn’t over something like a Hamas flag or something like that, just a patch showing the kids cultural heritage? You see kids with Welsh flags and dragon logos all the time here. I’m fairly sure I’ve seen some of the Ukrainian kids with yellow and blue on.
