A Vermont school district flew the Somali flag in solidarity, sparking racist backlash and threats.
A Vermont school district flew the Somali flag alongside U.S. and state flags on December 5 to show solidarity with its Somali students after former President Donald Trump labeled Minnesota’s Somali community “garbage.” The gesture, intended to promote inclusion, triggered a wave of racist threats, harassing calls, and online abuse, prompting the district to shut down its phone lines and website.
Misleading videos omitting the U.S. and Vermont flags spread online, fueling misinformation.
The district is cooperating with law enforcement, increasing police presence, and continuing to support its diverse community.
Officials and community members condemned the backlash, emphasizing that no person is “garbage” regardless of origin.
