L.A. Schools Won't Tolerate Antigay Bullying

The Los Angeles Unified School District, the second-largest district in the nation, has strengthened their LGBT-positive policies.

On Tuesday, the LAUSD board passed a resolution that states school staff need to intervene when they see acts of antigay bias or harassment. The action also reiterates that Los Angeles schools teach the contributions of gays and lesbians by, "promoting positive images of LGBT people and making age-appropriate LGBT curriculum available in elementary and secondary schools."

Los Angeles schools already teach some aspects of LGBT history; the entire state of California passed an act that mandates all the state's public schools teach of the positive contributions of LGBT people. Conservative groups hope to repeal the FAIR (Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful) Education Act at the ballot box next year.
