The Franklin McKinley School District is the latest to endure accusations by conservative groups of promoting pro-LGBTQ policies.
The night began with a man dressed in a white coat with what looked like fake blood spilled over his front. He approached the podium at the Franklin-McKinley school board meeting ready to perform — and by pretending to be a doctor hell-bent on performing gender-affirmation surgeries on children, that’s what he did.
That school district on San Jose’s east side is not alone. Across the Bay Area and the country, the nation’s culture wars have increasingly found their way to the classroom — and time and again LGBTQ+ issues have been at the forefront. Just last week, the Sunol Glen Unified School District experienced itsin a month, following the board’s decision to ban the school from flying LGBTQ+ pride flags.
By Tuesday, the school board meeting brimmed with vitriol. Members of Informed Parents of Silicon Valley blasted the school board for censuring Cooper and for labeling the organization as anti-LGBTQ+ — even as it expressed concern over LGBTQ+ support programs and said the district was allowing pornography in the classroom.
Ava Chiao, a high school teacher at the East Side Union High School District and the president of Santa Clara County Democrats for Public Education, said that after going to the meeting, she felt that public schools in the region are under attack.
