A middle school in New Jersey has removed rainbow-themed safe zone signs from its campus. Superintendent Peter Turnamian announced the change at a January 3 board of education meeting.
The LGBTQ+-affirming signage at Long Valley Middle School, in place since 2019, resulted from a student-led effort at inclusiveness. Recent complaints by parents led Turnamian, superintendent for the Washington Township School District, to consult with district lawyers.
The change marks a victory for parents who lobbied for the signs’ removal. Rainbow flags, stickers, and other LGBTQ+ affirming materials have recently been attacked across the country.
