Woman Screams “Indoctrination” As Lesbian Student Testifies About Bullying During School Board Meeting

Boston’s CBS News affiliate reports:

A tense exchange at the Franklin School Committee meeting has a student and officials calling for acceptance and tolerance. Franklin High School senior Mackenzie Atwood is still trying to process Tuesday night’s meeting, when she was addressing another speaker about protected classes against bullying.

“I am gay,” Atwood told the committee Tuesday. “Call me what you want about that, I’m being personally attacked in school about that.” A parent in the audience interrupted Atwood and could be heard yelling, “This has to stop. This is the indoctrination.”

Atwood broke into tears. Franklin schools superintendent Dr. Sara Ahern sent a letter to parents calling the disruption “appalling” and “unacceptable.”

Did they confirm that this belligerent wingnut was in fact a parent?
