Michigan school board demands removal of LGBTQ mural in middle school health clinic
Fox News
The Grant Public Schools Board of Education voted in favor of the removal of a mural containing LGBTQ imagery from a school-based health clinic on Sept. 11.
The mural was painted by a high schooler in Grant, Michigan last October after winning an art contest. Several parents quickly objected to the image after seeing it contained, among other things, a student wearing a T-shirt with the colors of the transgender Pride flag, two students wearing the colors of the bisexual Pride flag and another wearing rainbow Pride colors.

Parents also claimed at the time that the mural promoted witchcraft after including a demon face inspired by a popular video game called Genshin Impact, and a "Hamsa hand," also known as the Hand of Fatima or Hand of Mary. Grant Public Schools later sent a statement noting that "some features" of the mural were "not part of the original submission" and the matter "was not on the board agenda."
