Happy Friday, folks! Audience Editor Edgar Ramirez here, back in your inbox with an eyebrow-raising story from the Upper Midwest.
As Jack Walker reports, if it was up to this school board, the Land of 10,000 Lakes would be renamed the Land of 0 Rainbows.
OK, we exaggerate a bit, but here's the real deal: A Minnesota court will decide whether a school district’s ban on LGBTQ+ Pride stickers is legal after the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota sued over the policy on Tuesday.
Representing two students and their parents, the ACLU filed a lawsuit in state court against the Detroit Lakes Public School District and four board members for banning rainbow Pride stickers on classroom doors. Don't believe us? Here's Jack's full reporting.
Stay safe folks and have a great weekend!
