This is the first time the Glendale Unified School District Board of Education has met since protests and violence erupted outside its June 6 session, during which the board adopted a resolution recognizing June as Pride Month. "Angry rhetoric has been ratcheted up and some things have been said and done that are simply not OK and they really must stop," she said. "Accusatory language, personal attacks, mining people's social media to publicize deeply personal situations, vandalizing cars, racial and ethnic slurs, homophobic, transphobic slurs and intentional misrepresentation of what's happening in our schools.

"Absolutely no one has a right to incite violence and I'm asking everyone in our community and everyone attending these board meetings to deescalate the angry rhetoric and violent behavior," Nahabedian said.
