While another teacher in California was recently removed from her classroom after a viral video showed her admitting that she encouraged her students to pledge allegiance to a gay pride flag after she removed the American flag from the classroom because it made her "uncomfortable." Multiple teachers have removed American flags from their classrooms in recent days, with one in the Portland area removing it because it "stands for violence and menace and intolerance, and I will not fly that in my room." © press Support for the violent pro-Marxism organization Black Lives Matter is allowed and even encouraged The incident follows the anti-police sentiment that swept the nation last year following the death of George Floyd while he was in police custody, and the resulting defund the police movement. Sutherland added that his sister will continue her fight to get the flag back up in her classroom and without fear of being fired for it. "For her to have to go through that, … it's just not fair." "So when and I talk about it, back and forth, it's frustrating because I know how much she cares and how much this means to her. "It's hurtful because I can hear in her voice how much it actually hurts her being told to ," Sutherland said. The teacher ultimately removed the "Thin Blue Line" flag from her classroom but detailed in a message to HR that the ordeal "has been the most traumatic and hostile" situation she’s experienced at the school. The district did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment on the matter, but Rantz said the district refused to explain why BLM and pride flags were allowed, but not pro-police flags. The teacher also displayed a pride flag in her classroom to support a gay relative, Rantz reported. "Just for whatever reason, just the Thin Blue Line flag cannot be hung up there." "There's also, she was telling me, BLM stuff hanging on walls, which she was told is OK," Sutherland, who was also a resource officer during the fatal Marysville Pilchuck High School shooting in 2014, told Rantz. In the school, however, messages supporting BLM and LGBT flags are allowed, according to Sutherland. The district told the teacher to "refrain from using the 'Thin Blue Line Flag' symbol" in the school or she may face "further disciplinary action." The objections, however, were soon dropped and the teacher later posted the flag in her classroom.Ī second assistant principal then ordered the flag to be taken down, and an HR representative for the district said in a Letter of Clarification to the teacher that the district was "highly concerned about the impact of this political symbol on students, staff, and families of Marysville Middle School."

The assistant principal said that there were "concerns about how students, families, and community members might interpret what the image is intending to communicate and that this interpretation may cause a disruption to the learning environment," Rantz reported after examining an HR document on the incident. The teacher, who wished to remain anonymous, said an assistant principal at the school first took issue with a "Thin Blue Line" sticker on her laptop. The flag was also surrounded by photos of her brother.
