Chaos at Sunol Glen school board meeting as district votes to ban pride flags

Sunol Glen Unified has flown the pride flag on its campus in the past.

Several people also tell us they believe the resolution will have detrimental impacts on the district's LGBTQ+ students and community. "For many kids, the only safe and welcoming and affirming place they have is their school. And when we see school board members that don't acknowledge that and actively push policies against that, it harms gay kids, it harms gay families," said Austin Bruckner-Carrillo of Castro Valley Pride.
