Staff in a Michigan school district were asked to remove pride flags from their classrooms while administration officials address an inquiry from an "external party," according to a statement from school officials.
"TRCS gathered information from the external party and had internal discussions with school officials regarding the matter," the statement said. "In addition, Thrun Law Firm was consulted concerning these two issues." "To me, the flag represents love and inclusion for everybody, not just whoever is of the LGBTQIA+ community," Ball told WOOD-TV. "I felt very disheartened and saddened. The students losing that representation throughout the classrooms really hurt, losing my own representation in the classroom really hurt. It was just something I was not prepared to do."
