Gay Teacher Resigns From Missouri School After Being Forced to Take Down Pride Flag
I am no longer a teacher with Neosho…1/At the start of the school year, Wallis hung the pride flag and another sign that read "in this classroom everyone is welcome" in his classroom in an attempt to make it more open and welcoming for students.When he was prompted to take the hangings down, Wallis said that students questioned why. To him, the flag stood as a reflection of the classroom as a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth and that if students had a problem with who Wallis is, he said they could find another open class.
