Yeah. :-( Though the school’s Equity Club student leaders were more concerned about the school district superintendent’s response than with the kids who clearly need parental discipline. In some good news, the community forum they held was packed out, the superintendent attended and listened, and the district changed the flag policy to allow ordinary size Pride flags in classrooms again.
I’m including that in an article I’m working on now about the larger problem of increasing school bullying, with some data about a surprisingly effective new tactic just published in JAMA Pediatrics.
