WATCHSchool Board Meeting Derails When Angry Parents Accuse Student of Satanic ‘Hate Material’ Over Mural of Sunshine and Rainbows
"Outraged parents railed against a mural painted by a Michigan high school student by claiming her inclusive pro-LGBT artwork was filled with symbols of “witchcraft” and propaganda.
Reports explain that the recent uproar surrounds a mural painted by high school sophomore Evelyn Gonzales. Gonzales won a contest to decorate Grant Middle School’s health center, so she painted a picture full of anthropomorphic animal doctors and children of different races gathering around the message “Stay Healthy.”
The mural featured a number of LGBTQ icons, for one of the children was wearing rainbow pride colors, and other children wore shirts with colors representing the transgender and bisexual pride flags. The piece was also adorned with an assortment of smaller symbols in the background. Some were obvious like the peace sign, animals, and a depiction of Hello Kitty. Others were more esoteric, and they drew angry complaints from parents during a school board meeting.
In the gathering, Gonzales’ mural was criticized for including the face of a demonic creature from the video game Genshin Impact. The mural was also called out for including a hamsa hand, a symbol with diverse meanings of good fortune to many different cultures."
