FOWLERVILLE, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Fowlerville Community Schools approved a policy this week that allows the district to fly the American flag, Michigan flag, and military flag, but prohibits other flags, posters, and stickers not a part of the approved curriculum.

The school board voted 6-1 to approve a “content-neutral” policy which was introduced in March. It said in a statement that the “policy strives to ensure these displays are content-neutral, align with the district’s educational objectives, and support the approved curriculum and other school activities. Over the next several weeks and months, district administration will collaborate with teachers and staff to implement the policy through administrative regulations.”

The policy allows displays that recognize achievement and receive approval from the superintendent. In addition, the policy permits displays from student organizations or clubs placed on a 32-square-foot bulletin board.

Some members of the community pushed back against the board, claiming the policy discriminates against flying the Pride flag. That flag is the symbol of the LGBTQ community which is flown during its celebratory month in June, but some people or organizations do not limit the flag display solely to that month.

Michigan News Source reached out to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) after reports indicated the group’s interest in the board decision, but did not hear back by press time.
