Community and faith leaders in Santa Ana, Calif., are demanding answers from the local school board about the National Suicide Hotline allegedly referring students who indicate they are confused about their gender identity to a controversial LGBT advocacy organization without parental consent.
The group asked Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) trustees at their Oct. 11 board meeting to investigate The Trevor Project, which provides 24-hour access to counselors and other support services for LGBT youth, and its affiliated TrevorSpace chatrooms. They also requested the removal of posters promoting the service in school bathrooms and hallways.
