Community reacts after Grain Valley Schools orders teachers to remove LGBTQ safe space stickers

LGBTQ safe space signs may just seem like a sticker to a lot of students, activist Justice Horn says. "But to a lot of queer students, this is their world. It means a lot."
Dozens of people on Friday protested a decision by the Grain Valley School District to order its teachers to remove LGBTQ safe space stickers from their classrooms.

Although the district said its goal was "for every classroom to be a safe place for all students, not just in classrooms where teachers chose to display a particular sign," many parents, students and teachers were outraged by the move.

Tara Powell, a mother of a student at the school, says she spoke with teachers and parents who were deeply offended. But she also says she sees an opportunity for the school district to make things right.
