2022-05-16 - MPS Board Meeting - LBGTQ Speakers

Here is a link to the full School Board Meeting. Public comments start around the 23 minute mark: https://youtu.be/37KgKX5SoCk

If you watch all of the speakers from this meeting on YouTube, note the body language of the Board members and Superintendent before and after each one speaks. The agenda is quite obvious, I believe.

These students were accompanied by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Director, De'Ondre Hogan at this meeting. They are part of a Student Leadership Club, a DEI Student Club, and reference a GSA Club, Genders & Sexualities Alliances, a student-run organizations that unite LGBTQ+ and allied youth to build community and organize around issues impacting them in their schools and communities.

It is important to remember that the Constitution gives us certain rights, but no one is to receive more rights than another group. Also, if the suicide rate is indeed higher and they all know it, then perhaps their parents should be assisting them with their mental health issues, rather than expecting the Board, staff and other students to help them.
