Controversy Erupts Over Pride Events at US Elementary Schools

Parents clashed in a protest at a primary school in Los Angeles, where a Pride Month event was being held. One group of parents had launched a boycott of the school, labelling the Pride event "indoctrination" and inappropriate for children. But counter-protesters said the demonstration was discriminatory and that children had the right to learn about different types of families. Police had to intervene when a fight broke out among protesters. A transgender man who teaches at the school reported that a Pride flag in his office had been burned, which is being investigated as a hate crime.
