Parents and community members spoke out against the Santa Ana Unified School District’s referring students to the National Suicide Hotline, which they say surveys children about their gender and sexualitywithout parental consent, and The Trevor Project, a national LGBT organization promoting chatrooms with what some say are controversial topics for young people.
During a Nov. 2 Orange County Board of Education meeting, some, including parents, teachers, and members of a group called “Gays Against Groomers,” asked trustees to investigate the district’s use of the hotline and the organization and to remove posters promoting both from school classrooms and hallways.
