Submit your letter to the editor via this form. Read more Letters to the Editor.Pride flag banjustifies recallRe: “Pride flag ban will continue in district” (Page A1, Oct. 12).As a parent and educator, I support the recall effort of Board President Ryan Jorgenson and Trustee Linda Hurley by Sunol parents, teachers and former board members.

He is quoted in USA Today as saying, “Even though I may have my personal beliefs … we don’t need to … try to control their families.”Do those “personal beliefs” you refer to so vaguely, Mr. Jorgensen, include anti-LGBTQ beliefs?
