MESA, Ariz. — Arizona’s largest school district is considering banning certain flags on school grounds that display “divisive” messages.
During a Mesa Public Schools governing board meeting at the end of May, board member Rachel Walden discussed preventing flags and merchandise displayed by students or staff that portray “political, social, and ideological messaging,” according to the policy amendment.
“The American Flag should be sufficient,” Walden said during the meeting.
It’s not just flags that would be banned from school campuses. If approved, it would also prevent people on campus from displaying stickers, posters, banners, and clothes that show political or ideological messages.
