Annandale (MN) students plan walkout after district leaders deem their pride signs as too political
Annandale students plan walkout after district leaders deem their pride signs as too political
Annandale High School freshman Landon Nelson says his first year of high school has been challenging.
Besides it being his first year in high school, Landon also came out as queer recently.
“It’s almost every day,” Landon said of the bullying at Annandale. “You just get harassed in the hallway and get called the f-slur.” He added.
That’s why he and other students turned to the Gay-Straight Alliance. GSA is a club created at Annandale by students and teachers who wanted to create a safe and inclusive space for students who identify as LGBTQ+ to look to for support.

Sad that Safe Spaces need a legal review but bullying needs no regulation.
