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 LGBTQ 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.” The governor also got involved in campaigning for school board races this year, endorsing two candidates in Miami-Dade who won races for seats on the already conservative board last week. Those candidates do not take office until November.Max Tover, a pastor and parent in the district, led those outside in a prayer, asking that the board members reject the motion. He told the Herald that passing the measure is “a Trojan Horse.
