Description: Violence erupted between a parental rights group and LGBTQ+ supporters over transgender notification policies at Los Angeles public schools on Tuesday. The groups clashed outside the L.A. Unified School District headquarters in downtown. As the gathering turned violent, police officers were called to the scene. Skirmish lines were set up between the groups and at least three people were taken into custody for “becoming violent, pushing officers, and throwing items,” LAPD said. The parental rights group is calling for the adoption of a policy that would require schools to notify parents if their child is transgender. Supporters of the policy believe it’s a parent’s right to be notified of information involving their child, while critics believe the policy could open up discrimination or potentially put students in a harmful situation KTLA's Chip Yost reports on August 22, 2023.
