Saticoy Elementary School in North Hollywood will have heightened security due to a Pride Month recognition event, which has sparked protests from some parents who believe that the topic should be left for parents to teach rather than being imposed on kids at school. The Los Angeles Unified School District has indicated that security will be beefed up around the campus Friday out of an abundance of caution. The organizers of the parent protest have denied any involvement with the burning of a small Pride flag that was on display outside a campus classroom, which police are investigating as a possible hate crime.
