‘black lives matter’ flag stolen from Brooklyn school, replaced with ‘all lives matter’ flag
Parents at a Brooklyn elementary school say they’re locked in a months-long battle with neighborhood vandals who keep tearing down black lives matter and Pride flags they hang outside the school.
“We’ve lost at least two or three Pride flags, and at this point we’re on our sixth or seventh black lives matter flag,” said Shannon Roop, one of the Parent Teacher Association presidents at Public School 110 on Monitor St. in Greenpoint.
Parents hung the flags on a fence outside the school in September to broadcast the school’s commitment to anti-racism and LGBTQ rights, Roop said.
“Within a day, they were gone,” she explained.
