‘LGBTQ+ Liberation’: Los Angeles Schools Create Guide For Elementary ‘Rainbow Clubs’

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) created a guide to organizing “Rainbow Clubs” for elementary school students, which included lessons on “LGBTQ+ liberation,” activism, and “protest art.”

The district explains in a document that the groups are “for LGBTQ+ elementary students and their friends.”  It links to a 20-page “Rainbow Club Activity Guide” produced by LAUSD’s Human Relations, Diversity, and Equity department, which provides a detailed list of discussion topics and lessons.

The activity guide contains “art, books, games, and other activities related to LGBTQ+ identity for elementary students.”

“Rainbow Clubs are inclusive spaces for elementary students to explore LGBTQ+ related topics,” the guide explains. “This is a space for celebrating many types of identities, including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Nonbinary, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Ace and Two Spirit identities!”
