Michigan middle school teacher resigns after school asks him repeatedly to remove pride flag from classroom
Ball, who taught 7th grade health and eighth grade family consumer science, packed up his belongings during third period on Nov. 22 at Three Rivers Middle School. He had received an email from the school’s principal on Nov. 19 telling staff to remove pride flags from their classrooms. Ball left his flag in place after the first email.
"Due to an external challenge in the district that has reached the board level, I have been advised that staff in the building who have pride flags hanging in their rooms will need to take them down until further notice. Mrs. Nash will be on a call today with Thrun Law Firm to get guidance for us, and by the end of the day should have details. Please understand that while I may personally stand behind you and your stance to have the flags up, this is something that I have to do until things get cleared up through Mrs. Nash. Please make sure this is taken care of before kids come in to your class today," one of the emails sent to teachers said, according to WWMT.
