MacArthur High School in Irving Hundreds of students, many of them carrying rainbow flags and wearing heart-shaped rainbow stickers on their faces and clothes, walked out of MacArthur High School in Irving Wednesday, Sept.
22, to protest what they said is discrimination targeting the school’s LGBTQ teachers and students, according to a report by CBS Channel 11 TV station.
The heart-shaped stickers, the TV station’s report explained, are “a symbol many teachers at the campus have used during the past year to signal their classrooms are a safe space for LGBTQ students.” But recently, the stickers suddenly disappeared, and teachers and students said they could tell the stickers had been deliberately removed from windows and doors.
