The Miami-Dade School Board allowed dozens of public speakers on Wednesday to voice their diverse positions on a resolution to recognize October as LGBTQ History Month that didn’t pass.
Andrea S. Pita Mendez, the school board’s student advisor, said she was very scared during the meeting. There were tensions among speakers polarized on the subject.
Security had to intervene when the crowd got rowdy after Mendez, 17, said she supported the recognition of LGBTQ History Month after talking to her peers.
“Our students want this to pass,” said Mendez, who is not a voting member.
After a tense long meeting, the Miami-Dade School Board’s majority voted against the H-11 action proposed by School Board member Lucia Baez-Geller because they believed it conflicted with the state’s Parental Rights in Education bill.
School Board member Luisa Santos, who represents District 9, said she was outraged by the way the adults who were in the room disrespected Mendez. Some of the adults booed the high school student who was attending the second meeting of her term.

Finally, some push back! I just hope it's not too little, too late!
I remember when California voted against same sex marriage two times and the gay organizations kept saying that they were not going to take their way of life to our schools,look at it now.
Why are the students focused on this issue? Teach English, Math, Science, etc. so the students won't have time for this crap!
It's a sad day in America where we have to vote for something that Obama demand the Supreme Court to legalized gay marriage
We don't need to know if your gay or whatever that's your business and you are not special a men or women we don't need to have special months or days for LGBTQ you live in a country where you're free to be what you want to be and not worry from being killed or put in prison in other words you are not in China
When I was a young boy growing up no one knew if someone else was gay until that a****** put his hand in your pants and then you kicked the living s*** out of his ass.
Bring back the old days.
I agree
Ok there are a lot of Gay Bath houses, Gay only bars, Gay Pride Parades and Gay Hook-Up sites.
When do I get a Hetero Bath house, Hetero Only Bars, Hetero Pride Parade and Hetero Hook-up sites?
BTW - when is Hetero Pride Month? ...I need to circle my calendar
Are we all sick of the month long dedication to stupid causes?
