Pride Flag Burned at California Elementary School Amid Parent Protests Against LGBTQ+ Event

A Pride flag was burned at Saticoy Elementary School in North Hollywood, California, ahead of a planned LGBTQ+ Pride event for students on June 2.
The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the flag burning as a hate crime.
Some parents at the school have protested the Pride event and assembly, claiming the material is inappropriate for children.
The school plans to go ahead with the Pride Day assembly, where students will learn about LGBTQ+ identities, despite objections from the group calling itself Saticoy Elementary Parents.
The Los Angeles Unified School District said in a statement that promoting diversity and inclusiveness is extremely important.
