## Key points

- A school board ordered a teacher to remove a rainbow poster.
- The federal judge rejected his First Amendment claim.
- An appeal is pending.

## Summary

A federal judge ruled that the Little Miami School Board could require a high school teacher to remove a “Hate Has No Home Here” poster featuring LGBTQ+ symbols. The court rejected teacher George McIntyre’s claim that the order violated his First Amendment rights, though an appeal is pending.

McIntyre said the poster encouraged students to treat classmates with mutual respect and was not used as formal instruction. Ohio’s 2025 Parents’ Bill of Rights requires review and parental opt-out options for certain classroom materials about sexuality or gender ideology, while excluding incidental references. The Board voted 4 to 1 to classify the poster as such material under its policy and ordered it removed.
