Three teachers at a high school in Indiana have been ordered to remove Pride flags from their classrooms on the grounds that the flags make a political statement — and some students and parents are incensed.
Connie Rickert, principal of Pendleton Heights High School, located in the town of Pendleton, ordered the removal Tuesday, according to
The Herald Bulletin, an area newspaper. The flags had been displayed by the school’s art, French, and Spanish teachers.
