Massive brawl breaks out outside Glendale CA school board. (Credit: Sergio Olmos)
A huge fight broke out outside the Glendale School Board meeting in Los Angeles as parents, many of them from the Armenian-American community, came to protest the school’s pride events. Naturally, the left-wing zealots—read “Antifa”—showed up in force, and as you will see, some serious punches were thrown on both sides. A heavy police presence attempted to stop the fighting, violently pulling apart combatants to prevent serious injury.
Someone with a bullhorn shouts, “Do not engage! Step away. We are not here to fight!” Maybe that person wasn’t there to fight, but plenty of other people were. One man wearing a black helmet seems to stagger into the arms of policemen as he steps away from the brawl in the second video.

In other footage, a KCAL newscaster can be heard incredulously saying, “Wow. Oh boy” as he watches the violence escalate:

The confrontation was not entirely a surprise, as things had been heating up beforehand, as the Los Angeles Times noted:
City and school officials were bracing Tuesday for a school board meeting that was expected to be volatile as pro- and anti-LGBTQ+ protesters and speakers were set to face off on issues that touch on the role of schools in teaching gender and sexuality.
The agenda for Tuesday night’s board meeting, scheduled to start at 5 p.m., includes a vote by members on recognizing June as Pride month. The meeting comes amid a simmering climate on LGBTQ+ rights that boiled over last week when protesters violently clashed at a North Hollywood elementary school over a Pride-themed assembly.
Glendale school board meetings have been attended by protesters for the last several weeks, with anti-LGBTQ+ activists criticizing district staffers’ handling of LGBTQ+ material.
Glendale police said the clashes between protesters have included shouting but no physical confrontations. The department will have a presence at Tuesday’s meeting, officials said.
It’s notable just how slanted the Times‘ coverage is, calling protesters “anti-LGBTQ+.” They may not be; their argument is that this stuff shouldn’t be forced on their kids.
Glendale has a heavy Armenian-American presence—in fact, it has more Armenians than any city outside of Armenia itself, and some estimates show that the city’s population is 40 percent Armenian. Many Armenians have traditional values and don’t take kindly to having progressivism shoved down their throats. Here’s a tweet from my wife Roxanne last month:
In @cvspharmacy in the San Fernando Valley today & an Armenian guy started going OFF on the pride displays.
Keep pushing, Dems. And you'll find out that the immigrants you've been counting on to vote blue no matter who aren't really down for the anti-religion thing.

A friend of RedState who is at the protest said at 6:55 pm PST:
Yes it’s fine with a little side skirmish but there are still hundreds of people here they have dispersed us from the parking lot but we are basically circling the perimeter on the public sidewalk marching and such
We have been disbursed indoor marching to City Hall now.
The alphabet mob may have just found that they don’t want to mess with the Armenian-American community.
RedState will keep you updated on this breaking story as it develops.
Some people have not been totally immersed in propaganda like most Americans have.
Satanism & insanity now dominate. Children are targeted and this is accepted by most.
Done.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
And this very alphabet mob are the very ones who are targeting your kids in the public schools. Of they had their way, they'd turn your kids against you in the same way they are opposing you.
God Bless these Armenian parents who won’t take this crap being taught to their kids. My sister thank God moved to Calabasas to get away from this crap..my nephews schools are NOT LAUSD so she doesn’t have to worry about it, but the 8 yr old came home yesterday and asked “What does gay mean” no not because the teacher said it, some kids in the school were asking on the playground what gay means
’ “...protesters and speakers were set to face off on issues that touch on the role of schools in teaching gender and sexuality.” ‘
Schools have NO business teaching gender and sexuality.
GOOD.
Hey, the building we used to work in.
About time...and appears immigrants are paying attention!
Good. People have to start fighting back. Hopefully, it’s not too little, too late.
And also, stop voting for leftists and commies.
They don't appear to be so "unified" after all.
I’m afraid that is what has to be done to put the fear of God into these corrupt and despicable school administrators who are owned lock stock and barrel by the homo mafia.
“Pride” is an appropriate descriptor for people who think they know Better than the God who created them fearfully and wonderfully His image.
What exactly are they proud of?
I can think of only one distinguishable feature and it’s something I definitely would not be proud of.
Glendale is a great town honestly
And only ten minutes low traffic via Silver Lake
I stay there and Toluca when in El Lay
The Armenian’s take zero shit from anyone, glad they stepped up hope pantifa got the short end of the stick
Armenians are 98% Christian, surrounded by Mohammedean countries. It’s 92% Armenian Apostolic Church, founded in the 1st century A.D. Some label the Armenian Apostolic Church as Orthodox, as it’s certainly not Roman Catholic.
Surrounded by Mohammedeans, for 1300 years they have had to fight for their land and their religion. This should prove interesting.
