Idaho House Advances Bill To Ban MAGA Flags in Public Schools
HB10 will restrict the display of any ideological pride flag in public schools

The Idaho House Education Committee advanced a bill last week that bans ideological flags from public schools. While supporters framed the legislation as a way to remove LGBTQ+ pride flags from classrooms, the law’s broad language extends to all ideological pride flags, including ones cherished by Trump supporters, patriot movements, and Christian nationalists.
If passed, the ban would apply to MAGA flags, Gadsden flags, Confederate flags, and even the Pine Tree Flag ("Appeal to Heaven"), a symbol frequently used by Christian nationalists. For all the talk in committee about “protecting children from sexual ideologies,” no one mentioned that this bill also silences the symbols many conservatives hold dear.
What the Far-Right Won’t Tell You
Groups like the Idaho Freedom Foundation and Stop Idaho RINOs have been vocal in their support of this bill, sharing posts from anti-LGBTQ+ activists like Libs of TikTok to celebrate the effort. What they aren’t telling their MAGA supporters is that this legislation would ban the same flags they’ve spent years defending.Not long ago, these same groups rallied behind Conner Boyack, a conservative activist in Utah, after a Colorado school punished a student for displaying a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack. The incident went viral, prompting outrage from right-wing commentators who claimed the punishment was an attack on free speech.
Yet here in Idaho, the IFF and their allies are supporting a bill that would codify such a ban into law. MAGA flags, Gadsden flags, and other patriotic symbols would be prohibited in classrooms alongside LGBTQ+ pride flags. The hypocrisy is staggering, but the silence from these groups is telling.
