“Representing the longstanding intersection of Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQIA+ civil rights movement, a widespread spirit of civic action is taking place throughout San Diego Unified during Pride Month, triggered in part by the death of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer,” the district wrote in a press release.
San Diego Unified Schools did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
