Los Angeles School District Encourages Students to Celebrate “Pride” With Crafts, Games
Activities included making “ally pledge cards” and “LGBTQ+ bingo”
Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Unified School District published an interactive graphic on its website encouraging students to celebrate “pride” month with crafts and games.
LAUSD is the second-largest school district in the country with well over half a million students enrolled.
The Daily Wire reported that the district’s website urged students to “Celebrate Pride” and provided a coloring book to “prompt LGBT cultural inclusion,” directions on how to make “ally pledge cards,” and templates for how to play “LGBTQ+ bingo.”
“Many allies are looking for a good way to explain why they’re an ally and we’ve got a solution,” the website explains. The card templates prompt students to complete the sentence, “I’m an LGBT ally because ____.”
This came around the same time that dozens of parents protested a “Friday Pride Day” organized by district schools.
Violence erupted when the parents were met with pro-LGBT counter-protesters.
