Fla. school board votes down proposed LGBTQ month after heated meeting – By Selim Algar (New York Post) / Sept 8, 2022
The Miami-Dade School Board in Florida rejected a proposed LGBTQ month for students after a contentious three-hour meeting Wednesday night.
The measure would have recognized October as an official period of LGBTQ recognition in the district’s schools and taught older students about two Supreme Court cases related to gay rights.
Backers of the proposal argued that the initiative would ease stigmas plaguing the community — with some public speakers likening opposition to Nazi marginalization of specific groups.
Opponents asserted that the plan was tantamount to “indoctrination” and would introduce sexualized subject matter to Miami-Dade schools without adequate parental awareness.
