An Armenian parent called it 'complete gaslighting' when a teacher that evoked the Armenian genocide when defending LGBTQ students from protesters.
. Others defended the district's policies, saying that no one wants to"turn straight kids gay," and pointing out LGBTQ+ youth are at higher risk for suicide and that Pride is about love and acceptance.
She continued,"Why critical race theory? I'm not just here in support of our LGBTQ youth--it's all connected. I'm in support of critical race theory and diversity, inclusion, and equity training."Many of the parents that were protesting the meetings were Armenian. The teacher attempted to compare the Armenian genocide to the risk of suicide by LGBTQ+ youth and said kids know if they are trans at 3 years old.
Joseph was part of the several hundred protesters and a group of Armenians who gathered outside the Glendale Unified School District headquarters in Los Angeles. There were counter-protesters holding pride flags to show support for gender and sexual identity curriculum in schools. A protestor holds up a rainbow flag as they clash outside the district offices as Glendale police declare a unlawful assembly as they protest for and against how gender and sexuality identity should be taught to children, and protected in schools during a school board meeting at the Glendale Unified School District offices in Glendale on Tuesday, June 6, 2023.
"I've been trying to wake the community up to the gender ideology and the trans policies for several months, and we finally are getting a lot of traction," Henry, a father of a one-year-old and a three-year-old, said."None of this would happen without the Armenian parents and community members," Henry said.
"She is leveraging history to make her very opinionated point, a biased point on gender ideology. She is using the Armenian Genocide to justify radicalizing students with their gender identity and destabilizing these students' identities."
