Students calling for removal of LGBT flag liken it to rebel flag

[TexasTowelie]

A group of students and parents in Alabama is calling for the removal of a rainbow pride flag from a high school classroom — arguing that it can be compared to displaying a Confederate flag.

“We strongly feel that it creates a hostile and provocative learning environment for students not comfortable to openly supporting the LGBTQ+ community in a public school where students come from diverse political and religious backgrounds,” a Change.org petition reads about the flag in Auburn.

More than 800 people have signed the petition demanding the flag on display just outside a classroom at Auburn High School be taken down.

The flag was hung last week during a school fair for the school’s Educate club, which promotes diversity, according to NBC affiliate WSFA.
