Because of the Establishment Clause in the 1st Amendment, the gov't had to comply. Like, you're kind of forgetting the entire, goshdarn point of the 1st Amendment. Government is not meant to show favoratism towards groups of whatever religious persuation. That's part of how our Founders got 13 independent semi-nations to band together into one larger country. Our government is neutral when it comes to things that aren't a matter of objectivity. That's how you can get Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and atheists/agnostics to work together to create the most powerful country on Earth. Letting Evangelical kids bring Bibles to school and preventing gay and trans kids from bringing Pride pins to school is violating that. Within reason, of course, the government should not impose itself on kids, their life decisions, and their identities. (And hopefully you aren't missing the fact that MPS's proposal is to ban STUDENTS from bringing their OWN PRIDE FLAGS/PINS/what have you.)

Great school is to learn reading writing and math not to indoctrinate them.

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

School is all about indoctrinating the next generation of *WAGE-SLAVES!* Wake up! Open your eyes! School never teaches us how to become millionaires. It teaches us useless crap like dissecting frogs & making necklaces out of macaroni. And now even college is mostly useless too!

[@Firedrake1313]

Mr. Helfgot, please explain how the absence of a rainbow flag will make anyone afraid? If that's all it takes you should never leave your house, ever.

[@xelthiavice4276]

the rainbow community NEED to push it on others. they need to go on about being gay 24/7 cuz that is thier personality

[@BobbySee2]

Please do it

[@TheTibetyak]

It was just a few months ago some school tried to discipline a high schooler for flying the US flag from his pickup truck. "People" didn't feel safe.🙄🙄

[@robertm6646]

Finally something smart from a public school district.....

[@TeflonDon007]

Good job Mesa 👍

[@janetwebb4691]

The American and state flag is all that is necessary. No gender type flags need to be flown.

[@solutions553]

Bout time...no more propaganda fed to OUR kids...period...

[@GodLovesYou-np8xe]

Agreed.

[@imaqueen223]

Yes, no more American flags in schools and no more cultish pledges of allegiance

[@StartsWithACee]

Republicans should be banned from forcefeeding christian nationalist propaganda then

[@thecaptain1242]

Thank god

[@TheLeadElite]

Only flags that should be in taxpayer funded institutions are the USA flag and the state flag.

[@StartsWithACee]

Hey jackass, you realize transgender people and gay people are U.S. tax payers too, right?

[@bobkaiser8782]

Banning shirts & buttons is a slippery slope. It's been done before & more often than not been overturned.

[@DanielOnFire101]

That's correct but don't expect the people in this comment section to have any grasp of constitutional precedent. "It's gay so it's gotta go" is about as far as most have thought it through

[@Bob-df8tj]

The flag isn't being banned, it shouldn't have been there in the first place. Nobody is going to hate on gay people if the flag is removed. A stupid flag that let's face it is really about sexualty and not really a symbol of love and exceptance doesn't belong on schools or public buildings.

Keep your personal dogma at home and out of public schools. If not, then everyone should get equal time to preach.
