The Janesville, Wisconsin school superintendent has apologized for the showing of this video last month at a high school day to bring “attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools.”
“I found the video to be inappropriate and propaganda laden in addition to the left-wing political view,” grandparent Jo Yungerman wrote to the principal in a letter dated April 17 provided to the Wisconsin State Journal.
“The appropriate thing would be to present both sides of an issue or all sides of an issue, so that’s why I sent the apology, because I felt we did not follow board policy,” Superintendent Karen Schulte said.
A class adviser and the school's principal had approved showing the film.
