During a recent school board meeting in Lacey Township, a student voiced strong support for a proposed policy to ban pride flags in classrooms, arguing that such symbols distract from essential educational priorities. The student expressed concern over the inclusion of transgender topics in the health curriculum and the perceived pressure on teachers to promote these discussions, stating that many students have left the school system due to these issues.
The speaker emphasized the need for a return to \"common sense\" in education, advocating for a focus on vocational training and traditional subjects rather than what they termed \"climate cult\" and \"transgenderism.\" They called for the American flag to be the sole flag displayed in schools, asserting that it represents the values of the nation.
The student concluded by urging the board to support the policy when it comes to a vote next month, highlighting a desire for a more focused educational environment that prioritizes practical skills and traditional values. The meeting then transitioned to community reports, with the finance report being the first item on the agenda.
