The teacher specifically called it a "safe space". What he's talking about is showing favoritism to certain students.

What he's talking about is a space in which they won't face harassment, hatred, or other forms of discrimination for their sexual orientation or gender identity. Which is pretty much exactly what all students should be able to enjoy in the classroom. That's not favouritism, that's just not being a douche.

Second, your argument is that there is an agenda, but it's a minor one, so ignore that it's an agenda.

Not so much that it's a minor one, but that it is (or at least ought to be) such an utterly banal part of the status quo that singling it out as an "agenda" is absurd. You don't talk about how you have an "agenda" to oxygenate your blood every time you breathe in (that damn aerobic agenda), that's just a reasonable way to conduct everyday life that doesn't warrant any special recognition.

Does the pride flag promote the "gay agenda"? Yes. Is the "gay agenda" anything that actually needs to be identified as a specific plan? No, that would be absurd. It just means stop being a dick to people for no reason. Anyone that considers that to be so difficult that there needs to be an actual plan to get them on board with it is a terrible person.
