It's not the first time Pride flags have been targeted at local schools, either.
The Lambton-Kent District School Board said threats were made toward the principal of Blenheim District High School (BDHS) and the building itself last month after a Pride flag was flown there.
The Pride flag was flown at BDHS on May 17 in honour of the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia.
