In her initial post Wednesday evening, Douglas said she believed the 'medically & scientifically accurate' sex education rules that current Arizona schools superintendent Kathy Hoffman supports are an effort to 'get kids to be accepting of sex with adults.' The concept of MAPs and its flag is actually a social media hoax. Anti-LGBTQ trolls continue to push the long-disproven idea that homosexuality and pedophilia are somehow connected. Former Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas is taking criticism over a Facebook post she made Wednesday that associated a transgender pride flag with pedophilia and blasted two public officials.ĭouglas later said she had mixed up the blue and pink transgender pride flag, which was briefly displayed at the Capitol, with a flag reportedly adopted by MAPs, or 'Minor Attracted Persons.'
