An Indiana school district was forced to consider a ban on Pride flags in classrooms after a single parent declared they could cause “disciplinary issues”. The Bluffton-Harrison Metropolitan School District in Bluffton, Indiana, was contacted by the parent, who insisted that a Pride flag in their child’s eighth grade classroom would be “a trigger for student disciplinary issues”. Shortly afterwards, in a note to local families, district superintendent Brad Yates said that the school district had been forced to seek legal counsel. He added that the school board would be considering a policy on “controversial topics displayed in our classrooms”, and that a special meeting would be held on Tuesday, 24 August. But the local community was having none of it. A protest was swiftly organised ahead of the meeting, and droves of Bluffton citizens showed up to insist that there was nothing divisive about LGBT+ inclusion.
