Article below about students rally against this new rule.
"The ban on these kinds of flags is the result of a rule that was set by the district at the start of the school year that forbids showing "political" items, which include Pride flags, Black Lives Matter signs and law enforcement signs, according to The Boston Globe. The Globe reported that the new rule came from district Superintendent Thomas Raab, who said the goal was to create "neutral learning environments," explaining that he can't allow one kind of flag, without allowing others.
Where does this distinction begin and end? Unclear. The most distracting and divisive part of the decision is the fact that it happened at all.
