Parents and students in the San Dieguito Union High School District voiced their frustration about a school board trustee’s association to online comments that were described as transphobic.
The issue stems from SDUHSD trustee Michael Allmen’s connection to several comments made in a Facebook group.
Many voiced their concerns about the comments and used their time at Wednesday night’s meeting to read a possible resolution for a more inclusive policy for the LGBTQ+ community in the school district that they want the district to consider. Allmen addressed those at the meeting, saying he supports those using whatever pronouns they choose. He also said he reported the offensive comment to the Facebook group’s admins, that it was removed, and the person who made the remark was removed from the group. He also referred to a statement he issued on his website.
“I think the turnout that you see here really shows that a majority of, you know, the parents, the administrators, the teachers here actually do care about students,” said Ryan Wagestaff, a San Dieguito Academy parent.
