Last week, a freshman representative of the state Legislature posted a video to his social media questioning the motives of LGBTQ+ flags around ʻEwa Makai Middle School. While parents and lawmakers have been vocal with their concerns about Rep. Elijah Pierick's opinions, students have also noticed the video.
Pierick did not condemn the flags he saw during a tour of ‘Ewa Makai Middle School, but he asked the public to call or email Principal Kim Sanders with their thoughts.
