Tensions are flaring in a portion of Phoenix, following a decision by a school district to not renew a contract it had with a Christian university in the state due to issues board members believe could negatively impact the LGBTQ+ community.
Some heated exchanges took place at the site of a Phoenix area school board meeting on Mar. 9, after two duelling rallies took place outside the building where the meeting took place.
Both groups got very heated, and extra security was on hand. One of the groups fought for the board members' rights, as well as supporting the decision to get rid of the partnership and supporting LGBTQ+ students and staff.During the meeting, it was revealed that members of the WESD school board have received death threats.
The President of ACU said more than 100 students have served the district, and 25 were hired full time by the district after graduation. "[The] institution has policies that are openly bigoted, and I will not sit here as a member of the community and let our children be subjected to that," said Valenzuela.
