Calif. school district meeting over LGBTQ studies turns violent
washingtonblade.comPolice officers and protestors clashed outside a meeting of the Glendale Unified School Board over LGBTQ studies and the GUSD polices on addressing LGBTQ related issues.
News footage from CBS Los Angeles KCAL showed approximately 50 Glendale police officers attempting to keep the two groups separated and then fists were thrown as both sides engaged in physical assaults.
A Glendale police spokesperson confirmed that some arrests had been made but wouldn’t comment further. Witnesses and news crews noted that many of those protesting against the LGBTQ community were from the same group that had protested at Saticoy Elementary School in North Hollywood, angered over a Pride month assembly.
Officers from the LAPD’s North Hollywood Community Station responded and there were physical assaults as well. The situation in Glendale has become increasingly acrimonious.
