Massachusetts middle schoolers tore down Pride decorations and chanted that their pronouns were 'USA' in a striking protest after they were asked to wear rainbow colors to school.
Students at Marshall Simonds Middle School in Burlington, Massachusetts, were asked to wear rainbow-colored shirts to celebrate Pride Month on June 2, but a preplanned protest broke out with students tearing up Pride flag stickers and chanting: 'USA are my pronouns.'
Decked out in red, white and blue, the students destroyed the decorations lining the hallway the student organization Spectrum Group distributed, including a quote from American playwright Tennessee Williams, signage saying the school was a 'safe space' and 'equality for everyone' decorations.
'I was shocked and horrified,' Nila Almstrom, a parent of an LGBT student, said at a town hall meeting about the protest.
Parents have told local news outlets their straight-identifying students said they felt forced to participate and were 'offended' by the Tennessee Williams quote that reiterated that the human heart is 'curved like a road through the mountains' and only lines and streets can be straight.
My daughter just said, "You know, mom, that's offensive to me, I am straight,"' Christine Steiner told WCVB. 'Some of the kids threw the stickers on the ground. But I can only speak for my daughter, she just didn't want to wear that to school. It's not that she wanted to hurt anybody's feelings.'
However, Burlington Public Schools said in a letter to parents that the district is 'obligated to provide a safe environment for all students to feel safe, seen and respected without retaliation.'

Good. The only intolerance I see is on the part of the rainbow-coopting fruitcake pedophiles.
More young people need to fight back like this. Imagine if they posted “Straight Pride” posters in the hallways. Sadly this is a rare case and most young people are hopelessly brainwashed at this point.
My physical therapist, whose daughter attends public school, said her daughter and classmates make sure NOT to wear any rainbow colors, even during the rest of the year. It’s like a secret code in reverse.
The students are smarter than the teachers. This is good!
“Burlington Public Schools said in a letter to parents that the district is ‘obligated to provide a safe environment for all students to feel safe, seen and respected without retaliation.’”
Nonsense. They’re not providing a “safe space” for straight students, and they most definitely will retaliate against them.
“More young people need to fight back like this.”
The only reason they are doing it now is because they see some adults finally fighting back, so they feel they might not be abandoned by their own parents if they fight back themselves.
If you are expecting children to fight our battles for us, prepare to be disappointed. They need to see the adults fighting first, and only then will they feel safe to join in.
I’ll bet the LGB are ruing the day they allowed the “T” into their little group. Some of these trannies (along with their enablers) are the most annoying people ever.
Wow! This is in northwest Boston!
NOT skerred, just fed up with bullying by the trannies? Special treatment is NOT equal treatment.
No it's NOT. You posted the Boston Globe story, this is the Daily Mail story. Get over yourself.
The kids seem to have a point, whether intentional or not. Stop dividing Americans in ever more factions.
Go Massachusetts Middle Schoolers!
Near Boston during Groomer month! Who’d a thunk it?
It’s the official’s way or no way; you have to accept ours and you can’t have yours.
Natural rebellion of teens - defy authority, whatever it is.
Sometimes it works for their ultimate benefit, sometimes it don’t.
That’s genocide/s
