Central Bucks students protest ban on Pride flags and ‘advocacy’ in classrooms, the second demonstration in a week

The policy, which the Republican-majority board voted 6-3 to pass earlier this month, has instilled fear in some teachers, about what they can and cannot say.

Protests are continuing in the Central Bucks School District in the wake of a school board vote that would ban Pride flags and other "advocacy" materials from classrooms. Teachers, students and parents opposed to the policy say it will impact classroom conversation and have a disproportionate impact on LGBTQ students.
