Missouri teacher resigns after being told to remove pride flag, not discuss sexuality
Fox News
A Missouri teacher has resigned from his position rather than remove an LGBT pride flag from his classroom and refrain from discussing sexuality with students.
"At the beginning of the school year, I had two signs above my whiteboards that read 'In this classroom everyone is welcome' and an LGBTQ+ pride flag on my bookshelf," Wallis, an openly gay man, tweeted. "This was an attempt to make my classroom more open and welcoming for all of my students and nothing was ever taught about the flag because it stood there as a reflection of my classroom as a safe space for my LGBTQIA+ students." In the Twitter thread, Wallis explained how parents complained about the flag and accused them of pushing his own personal political agenda in the classroom.More Related News
