A Pride flag appears on the screen and the students then audibly groan and boo, the footage shows.
Parents of kids at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California say this video was played to their kids in math class. The kids clearly didn’t want to watch this pride video so the teacher threatened them with Saturday school to get them to watch it. pic.twitter.com/FUnB9DKYrN

When a same-sex couple kisses, one student pretends to throw up.
“Why are you showing this to kids?” another asks.
The teacher does not appear to take the student’s jeering well.
Here is the video that was shown at Edison High. It’s a simple explanation of #Pride month and does not show two women kissing, just their heads together.
The message of this video is to love and accept everyone on campus. That is all. #BoltTV @EdisonChargers pic.twitter.com/EcWN5YofM9— Exposing_Huntington_Beach (@exposing_hb) June 12, 2023
“Hey, I’ll warn you guys right now,” the teacher says in the video. “If you’re gonna be inappropriate, I will have supervision down and give all of you a Saturday school for next year. So knock it off.”
The footage has amassed over 9.7 million views on Twitter.
Some 10th grade students came forward to tell me that this video was played in ALL classes that day, not just math class. They’re upset about it and want the school to refrain from playing videos like this.

It is not clear when the event took place, but it did not appear to be isolated to just one math classroom.
