Florida school board votes down recognizing LGBTQ+ month.
MIAMI — The Miami-Dade School Board overwhelming decided against recognizing October as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer History month which included a measure to teach 12th graders about two Supreme Court cases affecting the LGBTQ community.
She told the newspaper the measure “is mostly to recognize the dignity and the respect for each other.” She also noted that seniors could opt out of learning about the two Supreme Court cases — Obergefell v. Hodges, which recognizes same-sex marriage, and Bostock v. Clayton County, which says an employer can’t fire someone for being gay or transgender.
School Board member Christ Fraga, who was the lone opponent of recognizing LGBTG month last year, said she thinks “endorsing and putting it out as something that everyone has to participate in does start to cross a line of imposition onto family values."
