At last night’s Punxsutawney Area School Board meeting, the members voted 6-3 to ban teachers from displaying Safe Space Stickers given to them by the High School Gender and Sexuality Alliance Club.
According to the Punxsutawney Spirit, those members who voted in favor of the ban compared the stickers to segregation as some teachers displayed them, while others did not. Those who opposed the ban cited the Trevor Project’s 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health, suggesting LGBTQ-affirming schools tend to reduce the suicidal ideation rate among the youth.
