Decision comes after parents expressed concern over Pride flags
Community members and schools Superintendent Steven Lockard said that the Pride flags are used to show support for LGBTQ students, but school board members said they believe the flags are political symbols and displaying them in schools goes against the recently revised political neutrality policy of the school system.
“After that board meeting, I contacted the central office and made social media posts to a local community group asking if members of the community would be interested in acquiring the flags,” Brown said. “I got a lot of interest from the community, and the PFLAG organization offered to [purchase] all of the flags for me. We wouldn’t have been able to distribute all the flags without PFLAG.
Student school board member Devanshi Mistry, a senior at Liberty High School, said she did not support a new flag policy. The student member does not have voting rights on the school board.
