A full-time teacher, who is a transgender man, discovered its remains in a plant pot which was also broken.
Anger has escalated among the school community due to an upcoming Pride assembly and parents have scheduled a protest against the ‘inappropriate’ event on Friday.
The transgender teacher was taken out of Saticoy Elementary School for his own safety, a source who wanted to remain anonymous said.
The incident happened after parents set up an Instagram account on May 16 called ‘saticoyelementaryparents’ to protest against the school’s upcoming Pride assembly where teachers read a Mary Hoffman book titled ‘The Great Big Book of Families’.
It talks about diversity and ‘all kinds of families’ including those with LGBTQ+ parents.
And just three days later, parents took their children out of a class which was being taught by a transgender substitute teacher, three school sources said.
