Protesters and LGBTQ advocates clashed over a Pride Month assembly at Saticoy Elementary School on Friday.
Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore praised police on Saturday, June 3, for their handling of a clash a day earlier between protesters and LGBTQ advocates over a Pride Month assembly at a North Hollywood elementary school.
“It’s a sad morning,” Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho told Fox11 outside the campus Friday as dozens of parents, protesters and others amassed outside the school on Ethel Avenue, some shouting into bullhorns or waving signs and flags.. The assembly was set to include the reading of a book about diverse and different types of families.
What resulted was a mass of humanity assembled outside the school as children began arriving. Protesters wore shirts and carried signs with slogans such as “Leave Our Kids Alone” and “Parental Choice Matters.” Some people in the crowd waved Pride and American flags.
