Southern California school board meetings now political battlegrounds

“Even in areas that are quite conservative and in areas that have had quite a bit of pushback … principals are saying that it’s becoming more and more common for students to be out, for trans students to be out,” Rogers said. “In general, there’s a movement to more acceptance and more openness in the schools even as there’s a movement toward more hate playing out outside of the schools.”

The adviser to the school’s Wildcat Pride Association, which brings together the school’s LGBT and straight students, Kellum invited an adult to discuss breast binding safety via Zoom at the request of students in the club.
