The Kern High School District in Bakersfield, California, is investigating an incident involving Frontier High School’s Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) after students in the organization were reportedly confronted by Trump-supporting students who reportedly shouted slurs at attendees.

Students holding the first meeting of a Gay-Straight Alliance at the school were interrupted by classmates who reportedly shouted slurs, carried a banner reading “Make America Great Again” and followed them into the parking lot, reports KERO Channel 23.







Hours after Members of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) crashed the GSA’s inaugural August 28 meeting, a parent took to Facebook to call for disciplinary action against the students:

Yesterday Frontier high school had their first gay-straight alliance meeting after school. they were met w the FFA kids with MAGA flags and straight kids holding hands yelling “this is what’s right”. So today I’m joining other angry parents of LGBT Kids to see that something is done. My son says lately the tension at the school between FFA and any kids they’ve determined as “liberal.” The gay community there is apparently the one they’ve decided to mess with. Not my kid and his friends. I will not go down without a fight. I want these kids punished.

One FFA member, a senior named Matthew, told KERO that he and other members were suspended for “harassment, intimidation and sexual assault.”

In an interview with the local news station, he claims that he just went to the meeting out of “curiosity” and claimed that a GSA member instigated the altercation.

“If you have an opinion that people don’t agree with, you get hated on,” he claimed.

But a student who attended the meeting pointed to a tweet allegedly sent by Matthew shortly before the meeting which read: “Off to the gay and straight alliance meeting got to support my straights.”

Another student claims that FFA students were calling GSA kids “faggots” and laughing throughout the meeting.

Officials in the Kern High School District confirmed the incident is being investigated.

“[We] recognize that students have varying viewpoints and opinions,” administrators said in a statement. “One of the goals of the educational process is to teach students how to communicate respectfully with each other.”









On Monday, the Frontier High School chapter of the FFA posted a statement on Facebook insisting the actions by those members “were in no way organized, supported, nor defended by The Frontier FFA Chapter, its advisors or its membership.”

“The choices made by these individuals were that of their own thought, mind, and action,” it continued. “These actions in no way reflect the mission of The Frontier FFA which is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. We work to build character, promote citizenship, healthy lifestyles, volunteerism and cooperative attitudes among all people on our campus, in our community, our state and the nation. Under no circumstance do we condone any of the events which took place and we will continue to strengthen intelligent choice and decision making amongst all members.”
