Confederate flags, not rainbow ones, banned in Cheyenne schools

[TexasTowelie]

CHEYENNE — Rainbow flags and LGBTQ-related clothing have not been banned at McCormick Junior High or district-wide, Laramie County School District 1 Superintendent Boyd Brown told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle on Friday morning.

On Wednesday, students in McCormick’s Gay-Straight Alliance club were told they were no longer allowed to have or wear any LGBTQ-related apparel on school grounds, including flags, shirts, pins and bracelets.

Students were also told they would not be allowed to wear rainbow colors to school, according to a student and several parents.

Brown said this was not the district’s intention and the message had been misconstrued.

1. hmmmm, when you pull 26 kids out of class and SPECIFICALLY THELL THEM that rainbow flags,...

...banners, shirts, colors, etc. will now be allowed, it's a bit hard to misconstrue the message.

I posted a thread about what happened a few days ago:
