HONOLULU (AP) The chair of a parade honoring a Native Hawaiian leader and prince said Friday a state lawmaker won’t be allowed to participate in the event after he questioned a middle school principal’s display of a pride flag supporting LGBTQ+ people.
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.
