A massive brawl broke out among protesters outside a California school board meeting Tuesday night over whether Pride should be included in the curriculum.
One person was arrested after about 300 people attended the Glendale Unified School District's protest, the majority fighting against the inclusion of LGBTQ+-related material in the classroom.
The clash, which was captured on video, comes just weeks after violence broke out amid a previous school board meeting in Glendale, a largely Armenian community.
This time, there was a large police presence who came prepared - equipped in riot gear in case protestors became violent. Barricades were put up to keep the crowd under control and contained in the parking lot.
While Glendale Police were able to de-escalate an earlier situation when demonstrators attempted to rush the school building, hours later, the protest took a violent turn, as a group of men can be seen stomping on a man who is cowering on the ground.
Officers were forced to intervene and ultimately were able to guard the man who was still crouched down.
Before the brawl broke out, crowds cheered: 'USA USA USA,' as one protestor with a microphone called out: 'Whose kids? Our kids! Whose schools? Our schools!'
'We are here to fight beside you. because we are against this thing. We do not want children medicalized, indoctrinated or any of that stuff,' one protestor said.
'This pornography in the school we are completely against. We need to stop it and we will fight with you full course until it ends,' she added.

Thanks for the description of Glendale, CA...
This protest does not mean that Armenians, in Glendale, will support the GOP candidate for president next year...
I am not convinced that Armenians, living in Glendale, are overwhelming against homosexual agenda...The school board did not cancel the Pride month because of the protest...I did not hear about any recall efforts for school board members in Glendale...
Yes!
