“As the mother of a transgender student who will be attending your school this year,' said one parent, 'I am upset, embarrassed, and worried for my child.'
Two football players were indefinitely suspended from their school team for distributing and shooting a video of a burning LGBTQ pride flag on Snapchat.
A Unified Police Department spokesperson tells Yahoo Lifestyle that while a report about the incident was filed with police, they will not be investigating the issue as a hate crime, as Utah law considers hate crimes as enhancements to criminal offenses. According to the spokesperson, “Burning a flag is not a crime — it’s a freedom of speech issue, and the school is handling it.”
Head football coach Matt Rickards tells Yahoo Lifestyle that the school’s main priority in the program is to grow “men of character, integrity, be responsible, have empathy towards others and serve their community for good.” The Granite School District website outlines bullying and hazing policies, describing that students and school employees cannot engage in cyberbullying “on school property, at a school related or sponsored event, on a school bus, at a school bus stop or while the student or school employee is traveling to or from a location or event described above.” It is uncertain whether the video was shot or distributed in any of these situations.
Another added, “Everyone should feel safe and free from this kind of discrimination and especially the most vulnerable! It doesn’t matter if it’s an American Flag, Pride Flag or Religious Flag this action speaks for itself and can’t be tolerated.” A former Kearns High School student Tweeted about the incident, affirming that if there isn’t an official investigation, “the gay kids of Kearns will riot,” to which Granite School District responded, reiterating that there will be appropriate steps and consequences.
