(Fox News) A Portland-area teacher who opposes her district’s vote to ban Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ Pride symbols in schools told local media that she removed the American flag from her classroom because it represents “violence and menace and intolerance.”
Gail Grobey, an English teacher at Newberg High School and former president of the Newberg Education Association, said her union is mobilizing against a newly approved resolution by Newberg Public Schools that bans overtly “political” imagery on campus, including the Black Lives Matter and Pride symbols.
“We are certainly going to become very active in terms of supporting the community coalition that has formed against these actions by the board,” Grobey told The Newberg Graphic in a story published Tuesday.
