According to the Los Angeles Police Department, a rainbow Pride flag has been burned at an elementary school in California that was set to host a LGBT Pride event on Friday.
Saticoy Elementary has been the target of criticism over recent weeks, ahead of the Pride event scheduled for June 2nd. Saticoy Elementary Parents Instagram page reports that the Pride event will include a student assembly where a video stating “some kids have a mommy, and some have Daddy” will be shown.
The Saticoy Elementary Parent group encouraged all parents to keep their kids out of school on Friday. The group plans to protest the assembly on that day. The group claims to have 500 signatures in its Instagram posts against the assembly. It said that parents did not need to sign a permission form.

Saticoy elementary school has received criticism in recent weeks before its Pride event scheduled for children on 2 June.
George Dzhabroyan told KTLA that while “we respect everyone,” some things were inappropriate for children of this age. “I hope the message gets through and people realize that parents are the first contact for what their children can and cannot be exposed too.”
Parents who are against the assembly deny responsibility for the flag burning and condemn the action.
The protest flyers are in English, Spanish, and Armenian.

According to the Saticoy Parents’ Instagram page, the Pride event will feature an assembly where students will watch a video that says, “Some kids have two mothers, and some have two fathers.”
Roberto Salcedo is a teacher from Monlux Elementary in the area. He told KTLA that he was “bone-chilling” when he first read it. If you read it as it really is, the intent is to incite hate against people who differ. “I want parents to understand that we’re all different and we need to respect each other.”
