High school students wear anti-LGBT badges. School can't decide what to do.

School officials have asked a dozen students wearing anti-gay symbols at Shadow Hills High School in Indio to remove the badges “for now” pending further investigation by the Desert Sands Unified School District.

In a letter sent to Shadow Hills staff Monday morning, district Superintendent Gary Rutherford said "recently some information has been brought forward that requires additional investigation and follow-up to determine a proper course of action. Pending further investigation, we are going to ask students who are displaying the symbol showing a rainbow pattern with a circle and a line, at least for now, to remove symbols while at school."

I'm wondering if the response would have been so lackadaisical had they been wearing anti-black, anti-Jewish, or anti-Latino badges.

Shadow Hills' dress code policy states "Clothing and/or accessories depicting ... racially/socially inflammatory material are not permitted."

DSUSD spokeswoman Mary Perry said "We are looking at policies and will be further reviewing the situation before making further comment."
