Police in Los Angeles are looking into a possible hate crime after a burned LGBTQ+ flag was found at a North Hollywood elementary school.
Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton said the burned flag was inside a potted plant when both of the charred objects were discovered at Saticoy Elementary School on May 22.“The investigation is ongoing. It is a vandalism hate crime. The hate crime is still significant, but it is a misdemeanor,” Chief Hamilton said Saturday.
The parents are asking others to boycott the event because they don’t feel the Pride Day’s material is appropriate for the elementary students. For example, a reading from “The Great Big Book of Families” during the assembly will touch on families with LGBTQ+ parents. Despite opposing the Pride Day assembly, some parents said they would never go as far as burning an LGBTQ+ flag.
