"Middle school Pride event disrupted by students chanting 'USA are my pronouns' and destroying decorations"

Students at Marshall Simonds Middle School in Burlington, Massachusetts, tore down rainbow decorations and chanted “USA are my pronouns” during a Pride Month celebration organized by the school’s LGBTQ+ student group. School officials are working to respond to the clash and have apologized to members of the LGBTQ+ community who were targeted. The incident has been condemned by Gov. Maura Healey, who said she hopes it becomes a teaching moment for the young people involved.
