| | A pair of public school teachers at Buena Vista Middle School in Salinas, [[California]] were exposed for encouraging their fellow teachers to identify alleged [[LGBT]] schoolchildren, recruit them into LGBT clubs under false pretenses and then hide their in-club activities from the parents. The two were seen in video footage from a teleconference held by the California Teachers Association union. Both are members of the union. According to reports, both had already created their own LGBT club, “You Be You,” at Buena Vista. After their exposure, the school district suspended the club and issued a ban prohibiting teachers “from monitoring students’ online activity for any non-academic purposes.” | | A pair of public school teachers at Buena Vista Middle School in Salinas, [[California]] were exposed for encouraging their fellow teachers to identify alleged [[LGBT]] schoolchildren, recruit them into LGBT clubs under false pretenses and then hide their in-club activities from the parents.
