McCormick Junior High Gay Straight Alliance students were given this notice Wednesday afternoon. They were then told they wouldn't be allowed to to have or wear any LGBTQ paraphernalia on school grounds. Courtesy.
CHEYENNE Students in McCormick Junior Highs Gay Straight Alliance club were told Wednesday afternoon they were no longer allowed to have or wear any LGBTQ paraphernalia on school grounds, including flags, shirts, pins and bracelets.
Students were told they would not even be allowed to wear rainbow colors to school, according to a student and several parents.
This is the latest response to racist and anti-gay flyers found in the school last month that read its great to be straight its not OK to be gay, black lives only matter because if it werent for them who would pick our cotton, and Join the KKK, with the confederate kid club in parentheses beneath it.
Around 2:20 p.m. Wednesday, roughly 20-25 students from the GSA club were called out of class and sent to a room where three faculty awaited them, Ashlynn Kercher, an eighth-grade member of McCormicks GSA said.

Every time one of my neighbors flies his a confederate flag, I fly a homemade rainbow flag. He came over here screaming about it. I told him I would do it every time he flew his racist symbol. After lying and pretending it wasn't racist, I said my flag was just about rainbows. He hasn't flown his flag since then.
