Mohave Middle School has room for student groups and students in detention with LGBTQ and transgender flags displayed; signs in room tell students to keep secrets

On December 20, 2023, the parental rights organization Scottsdale Unites for Educational Integrity reported on X that a room at Mohave Middle School in Arizona displayed several LGBTQ and transgender flags with a sign on the wall that stated “confidentiality” for students. In another post following up on the report, the organization showed another sign on the wall in the room that stated: “What is said in here, stays in here.” The room is reportedly “used for detention and in-school suspension, as well as club/group meetings.”

On December 21, 2023, Scottsdale Unites for Educational Integrity reported on X that Scottsdale Unified School District Superintendent Scott Menzel “defended this room and confirmed it is used for student ‘anxiety’ group meetings, lunch detentions, and positive behavior support discussions.” In a video with the superintendent shared in the post, the superintendent acknowledged that students use the room.
