Teachers in Michigan school district asked to remove pride flags from classrooms following inquiry

Staff in a Michigan school district were asked to remove pride flags from their classrooms while administration officials address an inquiry from an "external party," according to a statement from school officials. 

The external party reached out to Three Rivers Community Schools officials on November 18, "questioning information shared within the school day which also included an inquiry of the Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) after school club and pride flags within Three Rivers Middle School (TRMS) classrooms."

"TRCS gathered information from the external party and had internal discussions with school officials regarding the matter," the statement said. "In addition, Thrun Law Firm was consulted concerning these two issues."
