School officials in Burlington are working to respond to a clash at a middle school where some students tore down rainbow decorations and chanted “my pronouns are USA,” as the school’s LGBTQ+ student group celebrated the beginning of Pride Month.
Students at Marshall Simonds Middle School organized the June 2 celebration — for which they distributed rainbow stickers, posted Pride signs and encouraged students to wear rainbow clothing.
Principal Cari Perchase said she supports members of the LGBTQ+ community who were targeted and told students she is “truly sorry that a day meant for you to celebrate your identity turned into a day of intolerance.”
“We ask all staff, teachers, and members of the Burlington Public School community to join us in taking a stand against homophobia and identity-directed hateful actions,” Superintendent Eric Conti wrote in a letter to the community.
A School Committee meeting was scheduled for Tuesday night in part to discuss the clash.
Gov. Maura Healey, one of the nation’s first two out lesbian governors, said she was disappointed by the situation but said the school is actively working to address it.
Healey said it was particularly disappointing during a month when the LGBTQ+ community is celebrated and in a state like Massachusetts, which she said works to ensure “members of the LGBTQ+ community, young and old are seen, are heard, are respected and will be cared for and protected.”
“I hope it becomes a teaching moment for the young people who were involved in that,” Healey said. “It doesn’t represent who we are as a state.”

It appears that even the kids are tired of this being pushed on them.
Any support there may have been for this evil nonsense is fading fast.
And it will continue just as we've been seeing.
Getting a little backlash, they are!
This originated from 13 year olds? lol.
Is there a Moms For Liberty chapter in that area? This was not a student inspired demonstration.
And you know this how? You don't...............best you go find a Trump hit piece to take joy in.
I dont doubt that 13 year olds demonstrated. I'm saying they were put up to it by their activist parents.
Been that long since you have been a 13 year old?
They are a hell a lot more exposed to the world (for both good and ill) than when you were that age.
The irony of that statement. Do you really think that 13 year olds give a fuck about gay pride month? Seriously, this is a bunch of adult left wing activists forcing their views on kids. I am sure the 13 year olds eagerly joined in putting up LGQBT+ promos in their school. They all sat in rapture listening to the unrelenting drum beat of being told if they were straight and new their gender they were the problem.
School should be for teaching kids the damn basics; not left wing indoctrination camps.
Prove it.
More hypocrisy, Love it, Somehow the poor little brain damaged Greta Thornburg became a activist all on her own but because these kids don't toe the progressive brainwashed agenda their parents put them up to it. Hysterical!
They just can't seem to see the hypocrisy of their actions. Then they start crying when called out on it.
Do you have any children?
It turns out that they are way smarter and aware of what's going on than you might think.
If grade school kids are allegedly capable of understanding gender identity and sexual preference, as progressives tell us they are, then high schooler's are surely able to understand all that....and, also have strong feelings about this pronouns nonsense.
