Baltimore Brew reports that a 12-year-old student at St. Francis of Assisi School wore a rainbow Pride shirt on dress-down Friday last week.
The girl, who was not named in the report at the request of her mom, thought little of it, having worn the top before.She and her classmates attended a church service at the school during the day.
The service was led by Father John J. “Jack” Lombardi.According to witnesses, the paper says that at Father Lombardi’s direction, the school principal told the homeroom teacher to speak to the girl.
The youngster was pulled over at the end of the service and told to remove the shirt in front of everyone.A photo of the ‘Pride 365’ shirt she was wearing was included in Baltimore Brew’s story.
