At Saticoy Elementary School in North Hollywood, days of controversy over a Pride event came to a head Friday morning when parents on both sides of the issue squared off, reports KTLA.
Supporters and opponents of a scheduled Pride Month assembly at the school took to the street outside the school, with city and school police stepping in to separate the dueling protests as the intensity ratcheted up between the sides.
Officers were on the scene to “facilitate a peaceful and lawful exercise of constitutional rights,” the Los Angeles Police Department said on Twitter. However, the two sides traded arguments and insults over the officers’ heads.
Later that morning, aerial footage showed that the war of words turned physical, with multiple punches thrown.
