Students at La Sierra high school in Riverside, CA  initiated a pride week. After many people started to complain about it, the administration decided to fall into the pressure and take away the event. This goes to show the homophobic environment that surrounds the school. Not only will this create an unsafe feeling for those who identify as queer but it is really disappointing to see the administration’s lack of support for their students. I am creating this petition to give the administration another chance to do the right thing. Participating in pride week is an individual choice and is not a requirement so it should not bother anyone. Please spread the word and stand by the queer community at La Sierra High School.
