At Saticoy Elementary, where some parents object to a LGBTQ+ book reading, a Pride flag is burned. LAPD investigates.
An LGBTQ+ flag placed in a plant pot outside of a classroom at Saticoy Elementary School was lit on fire and the flag was destroyed, and it is being investigated as a possible hate crime after being discovered on Monday, May 29, according to LAPD.
Conservative parents with children enrolled at the school last week posted their objections on social media to the upcoming school assembly and book reading on June 2, “None of us parents are aware of who the person might have been who set the flag on fire,” she said. “None of us would jump the fence or set the flag on fire because we don’t want to bring that negativity to the school where our children are.”
He said volunteers from the center will walk alongside the LGBTQ parents en route to school on June 2. and LAPD will be present. The argument over whether Saticoy Elementary School students should be taught about different sexual identities such as LGBTQ+ parents is part of a tense national debate.
