It's pride month, and today we're looking at how that's showing up in the classroom. Educators and students, who identify as LGBTQ+, are navigating a difficult landscape. This school year has been marked by protests, book restrictions, and bans on the pride flag on some K through 12 campuses — not to mention legislation that’s been passed, or is pending, in some states that have been labeled “anti-gay” or “anti -trans.”
From our fellow LAist Studios podcast How To LA, host Brian De Los Santos speaks with LAist reporters Caitlin Hernandez and Mariana Dale and we hear from LGBTQ+ teachers in SoCal about what this school year was like for them.
