MILLARD- Responding to several claims last Thursday that Millard Public Schools removed all LGTQ-supportive material from its schools, Millard School officials say it was a misunderstanding. State Sen. Megan Hunt published these claims to her Instagram profile, and alleged that MPS teachers are not allowed to display "pride flags, safe space stickers or anything associated with the Human Rights Campaign."

Rebecca Kleeman, a spokeswoman for the Millard school district, said Hunt's claims were a misunderstanding. Kleeman said the district has no policies preventing teachers from displaying material associated with political or advocacy organizations, unless they are directly related to the curriculum.

Kleeman went on to state that the misunderstanding was sparked by a recent incident that resulted in the removal of a pride flag. No details could be shared for privacy reasons, but Kleeman said the district met with Senator Hunt to discuss the matter. "It is especially difficult and sad to see these misunderstandings coalesce around one school as these are district matters," said Kleeman, "We continue to work hard to provide a safe and inclusive environment for all students and staff."
