Backlash 1: Middle School Students Revolt Against ‘Pride’ Celebration

Students at a Massachusetts middle school showed their opposition to “Pride” month celebrations by tearing down banners and wearing patriotic clothing, Boston.com reported.
Marshall Simonds Middle School students demonstrated June 2 during LGBTQ student group Spectrum Club’s “Pride spirit-day.” Students tore down signs from the club that read “Happy Pride Month” and some that explained why “it’s not ok to say ‘That’s so gay.’”
Students chanted, “USA Are My Pronouns” through the school halls and wore red, white and blue clothing and face paint. Club members had previously encouraged students to wear LGBT-themed apparel.
School Principal Cari Perchase complained about the student’s behavior in a letter.
