NORTHAMPTON Displays of the Confederate flag are now banned within the city’s school district.
By unanimous vote Thursday, the 10-member School Committee approved a ban on displays of the flag by students, staff and visitors on school property, at school-sponsored activities and during virtual events and learning. The measure allows the flag to be shown in library and other learning materials, during lessons or as a part of an assignment supervised by a teacher.
More than 100 people attended the virtual meeting Thursday night, with about 10 people speaking in favor of the ban prior to the vote.
