Brawls break out between parents and leftists over Glendale school board's resolution to once again 'engage students' in LGBT activism

A massive brawl broke out Tuesday between parents and radical leftists in Glendale, California, amid a school board meeting concerning a resolution to once again incorporate seasonal LGBT propaganda into the curriculum.

Several hundred protesters gathered outside the locked-down Glendale Unified School District Headquarters, divided on the matter of Resolution No. 27, "Proclaiming June 2023 as LGBTQ+ Pride," advanced by GUSD superintendent Vivian Vekchian.

American flags were seen amongst parents and community members opposed to the imposition of LGBT propaganda on children. Some protesters wore shirts emblazoned with the caption, "Leave our kids alone."

Pride flags were waved by various supporters of Resolution No. 27, who periodically chanted "Racists, sexists, anti-gay. Christian fascists go away," reported the Daily Mail.

Around 50 police officers attempted to maintain the peace.

The Glendale Police Department indicated that while "most of the protest was peaceful, a small group of individuals engaged in behavior deemed unsafe and a risk to public safety."

KTLA-TV reported that in an effort to de-escalate the situation, police attempted placing a barricade between the two groups, but this proved ineffective.

The protest allegedly "exceeded the bounds of peaceful assembly," prompting police to issue a dispersal order just after 6:00 p.m. then declare the remaining throng an unlawful assembly.

As the result of the ensuing fisticuffs, police arrested at least three people. Charges included unlawful use of pepper spray and willfully obstructing officers in the course of their duties.

The resolution at issue states, "It is imperative that students in our community, regardless of sexual orientation gender, gender identity or gender expression, feel welcomed, valued, safe, empowered, and supported by their peers and school community. ... By recognizing Pride Month, we reaffirm our commitment to support policies, practices, and curricula that honor and respect LGBTQ+ students, employees, family members, and all people in our community."

"Be it resolved that the Glendale Unified School District Board of Education designates June 2023 as LGBTQ+ Pride Month and urges everyone to recognize the contributions made by members of the LGBTQ+ community and to actively promote the principles of equality, liberty, and justice," it said.

Extra to urging recognition of past activism, the resolution would have the "Superintendent and all District staff ... support lessons and activities that engage students in meaningful learning about the accomplishments of the LGBTQ+ community."

According to the GUSD, "Parents/guardians may not opt their child out of any lesson referencing LGBTQ+ individuals and history."

Financial Post journalist Rupa Subramanya suggested, "People have had enough of this ideology being pushed down their throat 24/7. This is only going to get worse."

The anti-indoctrination group GUSD Parents Voices stated, "Proud of our parents who stood our ground. We will never allow indoctrination of our children"

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) condemned the protest, tweeting, "These continued acts of violence and hate towards our LGBTQ community - especially towards students, parents, and teachers – are horrific."

The protest outside the GUSD headquarters is just one of numerous parent uprisings against indoctrination in recent days.

TheBlaze previously reported that parents opposed to a planned LGBT rally at a North Hollywood elementary school battled Friday with left-wing supporters.

Parents held up signs saying, "STOP GROOMING OUR KIDS" and wore shirts reading, "Leave our kids alone" in black and white at the protest.

Christian and Muslim parents similarly rose up in protest against the Montgomery County School Board on Tuesday for forcing LGBT propaganda on their kids, which they were previously told they could opt out of.

WTTG reported that Montgomery County approved a list of LGBT activist books for children, starting as young as pre-kindergarten. The policy parents raged about, already in effect in Glendale, prevents them from opting their kids out of these readings.

Here is how some of the GUSD meeting went down:
