Hunter09/30/25Linn-Mar Community School District says they will improve communications with parents after student-produced announcements at the High School recognized Bisexual Plus Awareness Week. They said the changes hope to support a respectful dialogue with parents while supporting students and staff in a safe and inclusive environment. A spokesperson for Hinson said the district’s steps don’t go far enough and reflect a broader pattern of sidelining parents. Keenan Crow, from the LGBTQ advocacy group One Iowa, blasted Hinson’s call for a federal investigation, saying the announcements are protected by student expression under state and federal law, adding there was nothing explicit or illegal about the announcements. A link to the Gazette article, which features transcripts from some of the announcements broadcast, is available below.
