"More than three-quarters (78%) of California principals reported that their students had made hostile or demeaning remarks to LGBTQ classmates," the report stated. "The level of conflict impacting schools would seem to reflect the intensive and pervasive nature of what is happening nationally.”Īccording to the report, incidents of discrimination against LGBTQ, Black and Latino students have increased. “About two-thirds of schools in the state are experiencing some level of political conflict, mirroring what we have seen in other states," Rogers said in a news release. The results showed that California campuses were not immune to political strife school leaders in California's purple communities were far more likely than leaders in blue districts to report that "community conflict" arose over issues affecting LGBTQ students and teachings about race and racism. The study was conducted as part of a nationwide survey of high school principals. Trump received greater than 55% of the vote in only two California congressional districts, which were not included in the study. The study, by researchers at UCLA and UC Riverside, polled 150 principals from California high schools in "blue" congressional districts, where Donald Trump received less than 45% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election, and "purple" districts, where Trump received from 45% to 54.9% of the vote.
