Dozens of students, parents and teachers demanded action and accountability for recent transphobic comments against youth in the San Dieguito Union High School District.
They attended the board of trustees meeting, Wednesday night, to speak against alleged online bullying that happened on a social media page started by one of the district’s own board members.
“I think that our board has shown they do not care about student opinions which they’ve blatantly said but on top of that they are participating in behavior that harms our LGBTQ+ community,” said Mace Viemeister, 17, a senior at San Dieguito Academy and a leader of the student-run Gender Sexuality Alliance .
In a written statement to KPBS News, San Dieguito Union Communications Coordinator Miquel Jacobs said, “Interim Superintendent Douglas did not receive the supporting documentation. She did, however, let the students know that we would work on board consideration for the October board meeting.”Téa Wagstaff, 17, and Izzy Enfinger, 17, share symbols of LGBTQ support in the Mustang Commons at San Dieguito Academy, Wednesday, Encinitas, Calif.
